"Thanks to the Medicine Horse Center I have gained a confidence I never dreamed I could possess. I was able to incorporate the skills I was learning into my life and help me cope with stressful situations that would arise. My breakthrough took place when one of the horses I was working with began walking along side me and I noticed I was leading him without the lead rope. Now, this may not sound like much but for me it was remarkable. Especially since I have never had any experience with horses and have been afraid of them since I was a little girl. Yet, this beautiful animal accepted me as his leader. Suddenly my posture changed dramatically and I was walking with my head held high. You see, when I first arrived I had very low self-esteem and was just going through the motions so to speak, with no real goals in life for myself. I felt lost, lonely and confused. One horse in particular I felt a close bond with and somehow he connected with me on an emotional level. When I was sad, he could sense it and was there to comfort and give me the needed support.
Now, I am feeling positive about my life and my family. My relationships are improving and I laugh a whole lot more! Finally, I feel capable of doing things I never thought possible before. Also I am finding out what things I excel at and have viable goals to reach out for! However, it is not over for me. My journey of self-discovery has just begun and will continue. I highly recommend this program for anyone who is struggling out there. It is unlike any therapy you'll ever experience but you won't regret it!
I was to thank Barb, Trish, and Katie for their understanding and support. And I can't forget to thank my two favorite horses, Blue and Elvin."

"The Medicine Horse Program has far exceeded my expectations. In just a few short weeks, my daughter has become much more confidant and trusting of others. The family session was the most empowering experience I have ever been through. It unlocked the doors of communication for us and allowed me to see a very special side to my daughter. The program facilitators provide a warm and nurturing environment for the girls. And the wise and gentle nature of the magnificent horses can be felt immediately."
