“I take therapeutic riding here as much as I can. They are very patient with my mobility issues and the horses they pick for me have been great!"

“Lisa loves what she does! Through interactions with the horses, along with Lisa's guidance and wisdom, my daughter is learning to trust herself, believe in her abilities and develop a beautiful bond with these animals. We could have found a place much closer to us but instead we drive the hour long drive because of Lisa!"
