Testimonials
"Wow!! What a blessing SpiritHorse has been for our family! Our daughter is having few, if any, meltdowns. Also, her ability to recall information has greatly improved. Thank you Gayle and volunteers for all you do!"

Caleb was diagnosed with ADHD. After having a bad reaction to medications for ADHD, we began searching for alternative ways to help him control his ADHD. Through our research, we came across Spirit Horse and decided to try equine therapy with him. The results we saw from his session with Spirit Horse were tremendous. Each day we went, Caleb had to help prepare the horse to be ridden, he learned how to ride the horse, he learned to help lead the horse while walking, and he learned how to care for the horse. He did this while under the constant guidance of Gayle Thorn and her volunteers. They were so patient with him. Each task that he learned how to do was intentional in helping him to learn how to handle the symptoms associated with ADHD. Caleb learned to take instruction, to follow through with tasks, to deal with frustrations in a task, and to remain in control of his body. Caleb’s time at Spirit Horse prepared him to begin Kindergarten. We are very thankful to Spirit Horse and her team of volunteers for working with our son.
