Dear Julie and Marie,
I wanted to take the time to send a heart felt thank you, not only to the two of you, but to Starr, Chrome and Sissy. Ever since my first equine therapy session I cannot shake the feeling of privilege. It was such an honor to be accompanied on a personal emotional journey by such trusted guides as the horses…and of course you two humans. I have tried various forms of therapy and self-help seminars and quests throughout my life. I have meditated and lived life fully with it’s many ups and downs. I have been fortunate to see and experience a lot. I was most fortunate to share in looking back, understanding and soul-searching my own existence with your horses. The arena became a reflection of my life and the horses the guardian angels I sometimes believe are hovering out there. The horses during my session were always there hovering, observing, intuiting and sending me the energy I needed to address issues from my past and the present, and the courage to look just a wee bit into the future.

If I had to summarize what I got out of the session it is this: Equine therapy is the fist therapy that made me feel that I am never really alone. There is a great big animal kingdom out there and if I cannot be understood by my fellow man, I can be understood by a warm-blooded, truehearted horse.

Thank you,
