OUR BIG VISION
When Monet was 9 years old she told me she was going to grow up to rescue horses and build a healing center for people and horses. She’s 24 and that is still our big dream as she now pursues her next level in equine healing arts.
I also grew up with a passion for horses and when I was a teenager I worked with mustangs on my uncles farm and they kept me grounded and whole. Horses are the most intuitive natural healers and Poes for Peace is devoted to birthing equine farms for healing horses and humans in honoring the relationship with the Sacred Horse.
SUNKA WATOGLA means “Wild Horse or His/Her horse is wild”. This is the name of our Lakota elder, our beloved Richard White, who also held a dream to build sacred equine centers on the reservations for the youth. We carry these dreams in our hearts and will bring them forward together with your support.
