Virginie Bernhard, a horse trainer from Switzerland, kisses Stormy, a 2-year-old Quarter Horse, on Friday at Spring Creek Horse Rescue in Gem Village. Bernhard donated a week of her time at the horse rescue working with three of the most abused animals. Two days ago, Stormy was a multi-traumatic horse that you couldnt touch. He would bite, kick and had no interest in humans just food. But (by) being gentle, showing respect and playing with them, you build their confidence and clean the trauma. Its like building a home you have to start from the base, Bernhard said.
