More comments from our alumni
"Time flew by as the classroom sessions flowed seamlessly into the horse sessions. Putting the classroom material into practice with the horses was priceless."
"Spending time with the horses has really opened my eyes and made me more aware of who I am, how I present myself and how others may perceive or feel being around me."
"Being with the horses was amazing. A little intimidating to me when we first walked into the barn to meet all of the horses but I loved that there was no talking."
"There was just so much great information from learning the difference between moods and emotions to reflective listening and Socratic questioning."
