Horses are people like us, and their faces and hearts are proportionally as our mothers were when we were infants. Riding loosens the psoas muscles and relieves stress and trauma.

Horse cultures are brave cultures.

My professors were very kind. They worked with me. They tried to draw me out. They were good. I was never penalised for a space out on an exam. My problem was my physiology. I think they knew I was struggling with something.

My zona father believed I had epilepsy. He said yes observed me spacing out and losing time. He knew it was epilepsy because his aunt had it. He would arrange for me to see a specialist if I liked. I asked how his aunt greater her epilepsy. She could not. It began after the revolution. A lot of women had those symptoms after the revolution...

People knew something was wrong with me and they cared. They didn't know what it was or what to do. And sometimes I was a real pain to be around. Thats the worst part, when you know you've hurt everyone whose ever loved you.
