Finding Strength in the Saddle: Tamara's Journey with Chance

Send us a text

What happens when a 12-year-old girl and her horse form a bond that spans over three decades? In this heartfelt conversation, Tamara shares the remarkable story behind her chapter "A Girl and Her Horse: How the Adventure Came Alive" featured in the upcoming book "Beautiful, Broken and Becoming."

From guiding tourists on mountain trails as a pre-teen to competing across British Columbia, Washington, and Alberta, Tamara's journey with her horse, Chance, reveals something profound about healing and resilience. 

Now 34 years into their relationship, she describes with tender emotion how this extraordinary animal has been her constant companion through life's darkest moments. "He knows when my emotions change. He knows if I'm physically hurting," she explains, detailing how Chance adjusts his gait when she's in pain and has even stood perfectly still while she fell asleep leaning against him.

The conversation delves into the healing power of storytelling, as Tamara courageously addresses difficult experiences from her past. Having taken on adult responsibilities before finishing high school, she found in Chance the unconditional support sometimes missing elsewhere. Writing her story proved therapeutic: "I think I've had a little bit of weight lifted. It's not something that I'm holding just inside anymore." Her vulnerability reveals an important message for listeners—finding someone trustworthy, whether human or animal, with whom you can share your burdens rather than burying them deep inside.
