Client Reviews

Hear from those we've helped through our equine-assisted programs.

Zachary's riding lessons are the first activity that has kept his interest and calmed him. We have tried swimming, gymnastics and various others and none of them worked for him. This is an activity he looks forward to and he absolutely loves the horses. I see him gaining confidence in riding when a year ago he was scared to even ride. The 1:1 time with you and the horse is having a positive impact.

To see him working on his core with his arms outstretched while on the horse shows the trust he has in you and the horses.

Appreciate what the program has to offer.

Instructor Kate and her team have been amazing with my son Taylor. They're patient and kind, and they really take the time to teach him how to ride the proper way, at his pace. It's not just having fun, he has learned so much and it's helping him to grow in ways we didn't expect. His confidence has grown, his ability to follow instructions has improved and it's giving him a healthy outlet to express himself.
