She found in horses a refuge from childhood abuse [WisconsinRapidsTribune.com]

Sarah Long doesn’t like to dwell on her childhood memories. They are fraught with secrets and traumas.

Her abusers were family members who convinced Long never to share their secrets, she said, and who abused her physically, sexually and emotionally, beginning when she was a young child. The Wisconsin Rapids woman grew up believing the abuse was normal and her feelings of shame, discomfort and anxiety were wrong.

For years, she held this abuse tight, never daring to tell her parents.
