What Our Participants Say

Overlay.jpg

Recovery isn’t easy—neither is life. A few weeks ago, I was forced into horse therapy. I didn’t want to go and was angry. I have anxiety, depression, and had to ride in a van for over an hour. Everyone knew I didn’t want to be there. I was paired with a staff member—I felt bad for her. I’d been in a car accident and had limitations. Thankfully, the horses didn’t know that. I met Durango and instantly fell in love. The moment I stepped into his stall, everything changed. He broke down every wall. Huge thanks to the kind, patient women on my team. I’ll be back.
