Testimonials

“Truly one of the best horse experiences of all my life. I felt so confident today doing the obstacle course which I don’t think I could have said before this, even with prior experience. Thank you so much. This is so much better than riding lessons! Really well done and I can’t wait to take my new skills to the Rescue. Glad I got to be part of it. AND so nice to make some new friends.”

“While I’ve always loved horses, it’s mainly been from afar; I didn’t grow up with them or really know how to interact with them, and I didn’t know where to start to get more experience. Lindsay’s horsemanship workshop opened up a whole new world and I’m so grateful for her patience with a late bloomer and beginner like me. The class was so much more than learning important technical skills — with Lindsay’s guidance I connected with horses in a way I never had before. I learned things not only about these magical animals, but about myself and how important it can be to get out of my comfort zone. As a bonus, I also meant some awesome horse women along the way.”

And I also sincerely appreciate your support of me being the least experienced and such a newbie!! Your presence and ability to meet us each at where we were at in our individual journeys in this was truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your gift and your wisdom with us. Deeply grateful.”

“Omg those amazing horses and that piece of heaven on Earth. I think, as I said, my obstacle course with Hank is in the best minutes in my life.
So grateful to you all. I’m unable to stop talking about it and the immense
pleasure the whole experience has been, with both the horses and humans.”
