Equine Facilitation^TM Client Testimonials

Kelli Wallace, Fort Collins, CO
"WOW!! We had a 5-star experience with Dawn and Julie during our Family Equine Facilitation Adventure! Prior to this experience, I had participated in Dawn's Dream Builder Program as well as attended her retreats. This was the first opportunity for me to include my family of four in one of her programs. I knew we would be in for a treat, but once again Dawn far exceeded my expectations!

The guided experiences with the horses, Drifter and Cowboy, were meaningful and impactful. I love that after each exercise we had time to share and reflect as a group. Dawn and Julie fostered meaningful conversations about being present, the importance of personal space and respecting boundaries, and exuding confidence that inspires leadership. Those conversations have continued since we returned home.

The facility we were in was beautiful and everything was well-appointed. The weather was a little chilly on the day of our session so they had heated seats, blankets and standing heaters ready to go. They even had snacks for the all of us, a pro-move much appreciated by parents. The lessons we learned from over 1,000 lb. horses and our facilitators, Dawn and Julie, were priceless. We are grateful for the truly original, meaningful and authentic day we had with them and highly recommend the adventure to all families!"

"Dawn is a highly skilled Equine Facilitator^®! In just one 15-minute session in a round pen with a horse, Dawn helped me discover the importance of being mindful of how I show up in the world. She helped me discover my inner strength and confidence, and believe in myself as a leader. Thanks to Dawn and her equine partner, I am no longer 'making myself small!' You are in good hands with Dawn! She will adeptly guide you, coach you, and teach you in a gentle, yet profound manner!"
