Testimonials:
“The horses Hilda & Oak are just so steady & gentle. Fran was amazing building rapport with our 6 & 12 year olds, then letting them meet the horses. Till this morning, the 12 year old was terrified of horses. Within half an hour she was grooming, shampooing & braiding Hilda’s mane. What a transformation. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
