Testimonials : What our Clients Have to Say

Caitlyn:

Thank you so much for today. It was a reflective time that really impacted me deeply. Karma is a wonderful grief counsellor. Thank you Terri for your guidance.  You are very good at what you do. I am so grateful for this experience. I wish everyone could experience this!

Ellie:

I love being with the horses. They don’t judge me. They helped me feel more confident – it’s amazing! Terri was lots of fun (and so was Strider!)

O.C.:

I have my own horse and didn’t really think I would learn anything new but it is amazing how much I learned about myself maybe because it wasn’t my own horse. I got way more out of it than I thought. It was pretty awesome! Thank you!

Chantale:

I felt emotionally and physically safe and Terri was very gentle which I loved.  I learned valuable things about myself and relationships.  The overall experience was amazing.  It was perfect.

Aimee:

Everything was so helpful to me – learning leadership, patience, respect and boundaries. I felt at the end of the session that I am able to lead because of the interaction with the horses.  The therapist was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful.

Terra:

You did a great job of making me feel comfortable with the horses.  The overall experience was fantastic!

Jill:

I have tried every kind of therapy in the book but nothing was as deeply heart-felt as this! It was so emotional and so grounding at the same time. I really feel like I have let a huge burden go – thank you!   And thank you Karma!

Allison:

The most valuable thing I learned was that I can be quiet and strong at the same time.  Being shy doesn’t mean I am weak. I didn’t feel safe at first (I was scared) but by the end I felt really safe. I want to come back!

C.M.:

It was all helpful and it showed me that I need to get out of the city more often! This was a new experience for me and was more valuable compared to the usual therapy.

M.T.:

Learning to work together as a team was really valuable.  It was all helpful 100% and I definitely recommend this experience to others!!

Taylor:

I was a bit skeptical before arriving but I found it to be very relaxing, helpful and fun.  I am sad to leave.

Kathryn:

​Learning to work through my nervousness was valuable for me, as was being with friends out of the city. I realized my need to further work on my assertiveness and how important it is to bring others along through leadership. Being in the horses’ presence and in nature was grounding. I recommend this to others.

Jen:

I will definitely be more clear and less ambivalent when I communicate with others. We can learn a lot from horses and apply it to our lives.  It was a wonderful experience.

Jeff:

Spending non-clinical time with co-workers was valuable. The facilitators’ wisdom and being with the beautiful animals was valuable.  I will take away with me learning the difference between confident leadership and cohersion or power over. Thank you!

Doug:

I learned that working with horses shows us how to interact with others and with our clients in non-verbal ways. It’s a treat to be able to interact with horses in a context that touches on my daily work and personal life. The chance to talk in a larger group and smaller as well brings beneficial insights into my life. Thanks so much – it was all helpful.

Chris:

Specifically, working on basic communication skills amongst team members was valuable. I appreciated the opportunity to give and receive constructive criticism. In general, time away from the office to reflect as a team was valuable. Time away from the city and being with animals was helpful.  I recommend this!

Mike:

I learned how much I over-estimated my personal boundaries.  Thank you so much!! The opportunity to spend time in a very unique environment with co-workers and animals was valuable.

Campbell:

It was a wonderful experience that anyone can benefit from.

Wayne:

Being around a horse should be mandatory therapy.

Peter:

I learned that listening isn’t always auditory and that there is a lot that goes into understanding something.  I recommend this day to others.

Annie:

Thank you for the opportunity to get to know the horses and learn something new.  I had an amazing time.

Julie:

Thank you for such a lovely experience that I’m sure I will take with me in my life to come. I gained a greater capacity to recognize how the way I’m feeling interacts the people I’m in contact with and how recognizing that brings greater clarity to my work practice.

A.T.:

I was a bit skeptical as I am not a horse person, but I was hugely surprised by the day’s relevance to people.  Most valuable today was learning the concept of personal congruence and how important it is.  I liked the teamwork part.  Through the horses I learned about my own boundaries with people.

J.R.:

I learned the most from the group activity where each member played a specific role. Regarding my personal life, I learned about my assumptions around intimacy and how to communicate without language.  I would recommend this to my co-workers.

J.B.:

Today showed me a new way of dealing with people and I enjoyed the team-building exercise.

Doug:

It was a treat to be able to interact with horses in a context that touches on my daily work and personal life.  It was all helpful.

S.L.:

Watching how my co-workers interacted with the horses showed me a whole new side of them.  Spending time with the horses was brilliant.  I feel blessed, grounded and happy.

D.D.:

I learned how to ask for help when I need it.

Paolo:

This work is very useful in learning powerful life lessons.  It is also very spiritual and grounding.  The non-verbal aspect of working with the horses allowed me to achieve deep personal insights in a way that felt real and honest.

Jackie:

There were so many great learning experiences that I can apply to my work and home life.  I recommend Equine Facilitated Learning!

Annie:

I didn’t really think this was going to be helpful but I am so glad my husband gave me this as a gift.  It helped me see how stressed I am.  The horses were so amazing!  And so was Terri 🙂

Stephany:

I am surprised at how much I was emotionally moved by the horses.  They were so gentle and seemed to know that I was hurting inside.  I will never forget this.  Thank you so much.

S.S.:

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Sandra:

When can we do it again?!
