Cassi Thomson Instagram – Sequoia 🤎 My journey with her has looked completely different than my journey with Rem. I have been quiet about her because for so long we had been at a complete standstill and I honestly had no idea what to do or how to help her. Finding her path has been very challenging and there has been one set back after another.
I was told to put her back and pick a new one, I was told she’s dumb, I was made to feel as if she was more work than what she would ever be worth. I’ve never cared about her financial value, I’ve always cared about HER value. She isn’t dumb, she’s actually incredibly smart. She is just highly sensitive and has a lot of trauma and mistrust. Because of this, her emotions can escalate very quickly. She is not a horse you can muscle around and control with pressure. That used to scare me because I didn’t know how to handle it and didn’t want to make anything worse. What she needs is something entirely different than what I’m used to and we’re finding our stride now with the help of @winplacehome and @elisabethhowerofficial .
Elisabeth told me just this week that Sequoia definitely needs a leader, but what she needs most is a friend.
I could have never imagined the string of events that would be set into motion as a direct result of bringing her into my life. I believe when a horse comes into your life she takes you on a journey… sometimes it’s a journey you didn’t imagine, but it’s always the journey your soul needs most. Horses are our sacred teachers and reveal to us what we need to learn and heal within ourselves. I am very grateful to be watching her evolution and to be her guardian and friend through it all. You go Sequoia, we’re rootin’ for ya. 🥹
