The Horse Girl
Beverli Rhodes, Sharon Ward-Keeble


As a young girl, Beverli Rhodes’s world was turned upside down. Sexually abused by the depraved men in Jimmy Savile’s circle, her only source of happiness lay in her beautiful horse. Dissociative amnesia would bury the hideous images of her dark past, until a heavy blow to the head deep beneath the London streets during the 7/7 bombings brought sickening memories of childhood abuse flooding back to her. With British healthcare failing her, Beverli went back to what she knew best. Horses saved her mind and her life, with clinical improvement directly attributed to them.
