Simba and I lived through a scary moment on the trail. To relive all the things that could’ve happen… terrifying. The things that did happen … terrifying. This was the most terrifying moment i have ever had with a horse. Trauma etched in my memory forever.
I wanted to sell all horses and never look back.
I thought Simba was gone forever into the woods. I asked Lydia Dedera, “Do you think Simba will be at the trail head and we will find him there?” She said - he’s eating grass somewhere.
I sent him a message through the unseen energy of our connection. Picturing the trail head and sent him a message to meet me there.
Lydia said - theres a horse in the trees. It was Desi! Yay we found her horse. I kept walking while she caught him. I needed to maybe get seen for my injury. As i turned the corner and saw the trailhead there he was, Simba standing with his head lowered.
I called to him. “Simba! You’re here. Good boy!” He turned two steps to face me and waited for me to come get him. He needed love and reassurance. We walked back to the trailer after waiting for Lydia and Desi to come back.
One thing that’s not terrifying is getting back on after it all fell apart. Because i know he was scared. He felt horrible for the accident.
Here we are getting our feet wet, playing together again. Trust, strength, and connection.
Simba is still green. He’s only a year out of the wild. Is he a gentle old man soul, yes. But does he get scared, yes. And has he ever offered to react this big before, no. Could he again, yes. Will I continue to help him through this, yes.
We have a plan and a path forward.
Thank you dear universe, God, Goddess, light… any of the many wonderful angelic protectors…. I could’ve died, been severely injured… so many things. But I am just bruised and will get up and walk away from this event. Only scar tissue is in my mind. It’s like a pillow was under my body to take most of the blow when Simba trampled over the top of me and stepped on my shoulder and leg.
Grateful for my husband for answering the phone and talking me through the fear, for Lydia’s support and friendship.
I think most of my next adventures will be calmer and more restful. But who knows one day I will try to make to the beach again.
For now a ba****ck ride in the river was a nice end to almost life changing day!
