Dream Catcher… On the journey of recovery…
A dramatic paint half-Arab, Dream Catcher brings out softness in all who meet her. Recently Dream Catcher has had major breakthroughs. She accepts a halter and goes on short walks near the barn. We started working together using a natural horsemanship approach. She is developing confidence and trust while on the lead. She ground ties and loves to be groomed. Some of our youngest volunteers share the joy of being with her and groom her whenever they have a chance. Dream Catcher has a fairly severe club foot, so our expectation is that she will be placed as a companion horse. Corrective surgery is an option, but beyond the means of the rescue's funds. Her emotional wounds appeared so deep; her ability to trust and her confidence seemed extremely limited. When she came to us she craved human company, yet feared human touch. We spent long hours just being with her in her stall and run. We named her Dream Catcher because of the legend of the dream catcher. “If you believe…the good in your dreams is captured in the web of life and carried with you…but the evil in your dreams escapes through the hole in the center of the web and is no longer a part of you.” Come visit me at Trail of Hope Horse Rescue & Rehabilitation Center in Sedalia, Colorado
