"I worked with Leia, a young, beautiful and very clever horse. Every time I rode a new obstacle course, we practised with one to start with and then built up slowly. We always rewarded her when she did the right thing. I did the same thing with my school attendance, taking it one step a a time and celebrating every achievement. I managed to sit every exam and pass them all with either A* or A’s. At the beginning of my period at WITH Horses it was doubted whether I would even manage to sit my exams let alone achieve such high marks!"

"A Big Thank You for your time spent working with Claire.

As you know, Claire has difficulty in expressing herself verbally. She has really enjoyed the course with you at your wonderful centre and has come away each time really 'buzzing' about what she has achieved and her confidence has genuinely improved. To see her transformation today was truly amazing.

I am very grateful that Claire has had this opportunity to benefit from your incredible service. I can't praise you enough.

Keep up the good work! Thank you!"

"Doing the Equine Assisted Practitioner training has had a much bigger impact on my life than I ever expected or even imagined at the time. It has given me lots of new things: new skills of course, but also new friends, a new outlook, new enthusiasm, new self image, new confidence and ultimately new hopes and plans. I have gone from being in a rather dark place where I couldn't even identify any dreams or wishes,  to now actually having started working towards having my own donkey EAT business! 

The program offers professional training and skills, in a relaxed, supportive and 'allowing' atmosphere, and being able to be around the horses is therapeutic in itself. Knowing that participants have different backgrounds and experiences, also makes it less intimidating. Having someone believe in me, when I wasn't really able to do so myself, made a huge difference in so many ways. Experiences and ' baggage' which I had seen as negative, a failure and something to be a bit ashamed of, now turned out to be something positive, even a strength, and the very reason that I was able to participate in the program at all. It does sound a bit cheesy, but it really has been a life-changing experience for me, and 18 months on, I still discover ways that it has had a positive impact on my life. 'Thank you' doesn't really cover it."

"The women visibly grew in confidence each week. It was the first time I had seen some of them smile since they came into the refuge. They didn't just learn to ride. They learn to be assertive, to be courageous and to trust in themselves and their own bodies again."
