"Stephanie reintroduced me to horses after I had been in recovery from drugs and alcohol for a few months. I felt she understood. I used to ride as a child and always enjoyed being around horses but along the way lost all sense of myself and lost anything that I was interested in. Parapanda is the horse that bought me back to life, I was lucky enough to be able to look after her and she in turn set me free. I found a place of meditation whilst I was around her, I was for the first time able to get out of my own head and felt a calmness and a sense of serenity that was hard to feel anywhere else.
Thinking back to that time, the most valuable gifts I received were learning how feel, being responsible and learning how to be by myself comfortably."
