A Horse Called Thunder: Teaching Children How to Tap Into Courage & Self Belief

Written by Justine Williams

Narrated by Justine Williams

Do you want to help your child overcome obstacles in their lives by learning how to be resilient and step away from their own self limiting beliefs?

Thunder, a beautiful horse kept in a paddock surrounded by an electric fence soon learned that if he brushed up against the fence, he would be zapped by it. So, he remained in the middle of the paddock, never galloping with the wind in his mane, or enjoying the freedom of wide-open spaces. He was very lonely, with no friends to play with.

Interestingly, the farmer decided to change the electric fence wire to string in order to save money. However, by this time Thunder believed anything that looked like wire could zap him. So, he stayed in the middle of his paddock, eating his grass, and learning to live with loneliness.

Until one day, on the other side of the fence, along came a little horse called Sparkles. She was beautiful, confident and free and Thunder fell in love instantly. However there was one very big problem, they couldn't be together because Thunder was fenced in and whilst Sparkles assured him that life beyond the fence was wonder filled, he was still scared of the unknown and even more terrified of escaping.

Thunder didn't know what to do, until the Wise Wizard of Green Tree Frogs, hopped over and encouraged him to take a leap of faith and to think about what he could do because there is always a solution to every problem.

Quickly, Thunder realised he was fenced in only by his own thoughts. So, he set about looking at different ways to get to the other side of the fence.

Could he dig under the fence? Could he run through it? Could he jump over it?
