God made all of us on purpose. You're not an afterthought, you're not on earth "just because," and you're not a random act of His creativity. You were given His 100% stamp of approval from head to toe before you were born- and the moment you were, He beamed with Joy. We are all wonderfully complex...    Max Lucado.


These are just a few great things clients are saying about their experience working with the horses at Valhalla Hill Farm...

" I worked with the horses today. They are so beautiful. Even though I am being challenged to do things I don't always feel capable of, I still experience a great level of peace when I am with them. Since starting this venture with the horses, I have learned a lot about myself. "

"If you are a wild stallion, run to the One who will not tame you, but will transform you. God's desire is not to corral you, but set you free...."

" I felt like a mirror was turned on me today... I am not sure where this equestrian therapy is going to take me, but I am going to stick it out for I am learning and seeing things about myself that merit my attention. Who knew this could be possible by working with horses?"

"Tonight, I worked with 2 horses. We did an exercise on focus and fear. Wherever our focus is that is what is going to drive us. I have been so fear driven all my life. But what happened tonight makes me want to change that. One of the things I learned from this experience is that I do need to change my focus. Sola, walked over to the cone just by my focusing on getting her to move over to it. If I can do that there, how do I transfer that to getting things to move in my life in a positive direction?"

" When the stress of this season mounts up ( no pun intented), I just visualize falling off the horse... dying to the increasing panic/fear and just "falling"... I've had to intentionally fantasize this to get me to relax numerous times..."
