The mare who started it all. When Hazel first came to the farm, she hid her emotions behind a mask of obedience. As she began to feel safer in our company, she began expressing herself more freely. As she “woke up”, it became clear that she had experienced more trauma than any creature should have to endure. Her anger, grief, and fear manifested in dangerous behaviors, and sparked a multi-year journey to earn her trust, heal her nervous system, and help her remember who she was. Today, Hazel is a kind and skillful healer of adults and children alike.
