Testimonials
General
Lea F., Missoula, MT
“This program has been life-changing. The connection I built with the horses helped me understand myself in ways traditional therapy never could. The staff are compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly invested in each participant’s growth.”
Stacy L., Prairie City, OR
“From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and safe. The combination of horses, nature, and supportive facilitators created a powerful healing environment I didn’t even know I needed.”
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy
A.K., Dillon, MT
“I came here as a 49-year-old woman completely broken in every way possible. I was desperate and I felt I was at my wit’s end. Three sessions in I felt things start to shift. I kept coming. I can honestly say
my enthusiasm and energy for life is returning. My sense of humor, imagination, self-trust, and ability to take true care of myself is still there and becoming more present all the time. Healing happens here.
Thank you.”
Daliala, C., Glendive, MT
“I’ve tried different types of therapy before, but nothing compares to this. The horses mirror your emotions so clearly—it’s a powerful and eye-opening experience.”
Sami, G. Dillon, MT
“This program gave my teen a new way to express emotions and build confidence. The transformation we’ve seen has been incredible.”
K.C., Dillon, MT
“If you are struggling with relationship challenges, I highly recommend working with Cathy. This girl gets it! Neither my wife or myself ever felt judged, she didn’t play favorites. We were welcomed and the work began. The work, by the way, is actually fun. Instead of dreading couple or individual work, we found ourselves looking forward to it. We still have work to do, but I could not be happier with this experience and feel a little silly my wife had to guilt me into it. Cathy and the horses have something to
offer.”
M.B., Miles City, MT
“This is the one place I have come to for therapy and did not feel judged. Working with the horses helped me break through walls and barriers I have struggled with for years.”
Riding Lessons
Terry T., Butte, MT
“My daughter looks forward to every lesson. Her confidence, focus and responsibility have grown leaps
and bounds.”
Emily C., Dillon, MT
“I learned so many things from Dani I cannot begin to list them. I think the most important one was confidence riding out in the open. She really made me think and most of the time I forgot I was talking to someone half my age. Dani is hilarious and talented. I hope to see her on TV one day teaching the
masses! I so enjoy my time with her.”
Addison W., Dillon, MT
“Not only am I learning to ride better, but I am also learning how to communicate with my horse at different levels. It is so much more than a lesson -it is a relationship.”
Kerry A., Dillon, MT
“Cathy and Dani are patient, encouraging, creative and truly skilled. I started as a beginner, and now I feel confident and connected darn near every time I ride. If you get the chance, have them take you on a back country ride. They are skilled, humorous and a good time is had by all! Great human beings.”
Parent/Family
Erika J., Dillon, MT
“As a parent, I am so grateful for this program. My son has become more confident, emotionally aware and calm. The impact goes far beyond the sessions.”
Josie K., Dillon, MT
“Families pay attention! We have seen improvements at home, at school and in relationships. This program truly supports the whole person, which in turn, supports the family.”
Group Work
Alecia B., Butte, MT
“Our team-building workshop was incredible. Cathy and the horses quickly revealed our communication patterns, and we left with stronger trust and collaboration skills because we were able to spot our strengths and challenges all in one day. Work has us do a team-building training once per year. This is by far the BEST one I have ever gone to.”
Kellie A., Dillon, MT
“Being part of a group in this setting helped me feel less alone. The horses and counselor created a safe space for me to connect with myself and grow within the group. I am thankful.”
Lea M., Miles City, MT
“The group sessions created a sense of community I didn’t expect. Sharing the experience with others while working with the horses made it even more meaningful.”
