Libby the horse

Nina wanted to know what was on Libby’s mind at that time…

img_4465The following is an excerpt from an actual communication session sent to the owner. It has been edited for brevity and privacy reasons.

(…) Libby seems like she has a kind and courageous heart — the heart of a fighter, or the heart of a lion. (…) She shares that she has lived through a lot of pain in the past. However, she now feels completely secure! Sometimes she remembers, almost like an episode of PTSD, but she assures me that in her heart she knows the past is over. She would like to ask Nina’s patience with this as she is working this out. (…)

(…) Libby shares that she likes a sweet and sticky food, it looks like a mash. And she seems to like apples. She seems to admire show jumpers or likes to jump herself. She says it’s like flying! (…) She seems to enjoy moving and feels comfortable in her body and skin. She says she goes fast, like the wind. (…) Libby explains that she knows she can “let go” of control now, she knows she is taken care of and feels so secure and guided. Libby feels to me like she has overcome the first and biggest step of what has given her grief in the past. (…)

(…) Libby is a very affectionate girl. She has a huge heart. She is a show jumper and I am so happy that she loves jumping. I find she acts up a lot less under saddle when we are on a good jumping program. (…) On the ground she is slow and calm but under saddle she becomes very hot and just wants to go go go (…) She is super confident and brave in the jumping ring but unfortunately has a bit of anxiety going on rides away from the stables. She had a bit of a traumatic incident with some elephants last year and moved twice (…)
Perhaps the food she is talking about is Speedi-Beet (I was getting something out the feed room and she stuck her head in and tried to eat another horse’s Speedi-Beet that was dished up) (…) I’m glad she is happy! That’s all I want for her. Thank you for the connection and taking the time! I really appreciate it.
