Sage
The mirror.
Arabian cross · 18 years old · At the Centre since 2014
Sage was gifted to the Centre by a client who could no longer care for her — one of those rare situations where the right horse ends up in the right place at the right time. She's an Arabian cross, fine-boned and acutely attuned to everything around her. She responds to shifts in breath, changes in posture, tension held in places people don't even know they're holding it. Working with Sage is like standing in front of a mirror that reflects what's happening beneath the surface. She doesn't let you hide — not because she's confrontational, but because her body responds to yours in real time. For clients doing somatic work, or those who've become disconnected from their own bodies, Sage offers something no amount of talk therapy can replicate: immediate, honest, nonverbal feedback about what's actually going on.
