Words by our horse camp host, “Little did I realize that this one thought would be the beginning of my journey of healing through the magic of a horse.”

My work as a therapist for New Day for Children focuses primarily on attachment - the need we are all born with to form close, emotionally safe bonds. Tragically, traffickers prey on this innate need.

It’s a beautiful thing to meet someone who makes you forget your troubles. Who listens quietly to all your pain, fear and anxiety. Who does not judge you. Does not label you.

Our first horse camp since 2019 and great to be back! There was laughter, tears, joy, fear and courage. In other words…healing happened. When we first meet the wranglers and the horses, the girls are excited, but also apprehensive.
