Client Experiences & Success Stories

  • Sarah. C

    Peace Equine Connection and Psychotherapy Services has been a life-changing experience for my daughter. Through her sessions, she has gained incredible confidence and patience that extend well beyond her time with the horses. Bonnie’s compassionate guidance and profound understanding of children and animals have fostered a safe and nurturing environment where my daughter feels supported, empowered, and inspired to grow. Each session offers her a unique opportunity to bond with the horses, face challenges, and uncover her inner strength. The positive changes we’ve seen in her daily life are remarkable. She now approaches challenges at school and home with greater calm, resilience, and improved communication skills, even in stressful situations. I’m deeply grateful for the lasting impact this program has had on her emotional growth and overall well-being. Bonnie and her team’s dedication and expertise truly set them apart. I wholeheartedly recommend Peace Equine Connection and Psychotherapy Services to anyone seeking a transformative and therapeutic experience.

  • Danielle. B

    "Peace Equine Connection and Psychotherapy Services has been a transformative experience for me. The Equine Therapy Sessions have significantly boosted my confidence, self-esteem, and helped me manage anxiety while navigating through my hardships and overcoming obstacles. The added bonus of being around horses—whether it’s brushing them, learning to saddle, or simply spending time petting and talking to them—has been incredibly healing. I’ve been participating in Bonnie’s program for over a year, and even my children have enjoyed riding lessons during that time. The atmosphere at the barn is so welcoming; when I see the horses waiting for me, it truly feels like I belong. Thank you, Bonnie, for the invaluable programs you offer to our community and to my family!"

    "I’ve seen an incredible transformation in my daughter since starting Equine Therapy. I was searching for something that would excite her while fostering awareness and mindfulness, and this program has done just that. It has nurtured a side of her that I’m truly excited to witness. She eagerly looks forward to her weekly classes with Bonnie and the teachers. Thank you for all the support, and we’re excited for many more classes to come for our family."

  • Lisa. M

    "I've had the privilege of working with Bonnie over the years, and each experience has been nothing short of transformative. Bonnie is incredibly professional, compassionate, and insightful. She has a unique ability to address challenging situations with a direct yet gentle approach, helping to ease the intensity of any issue. The strategies and tools she offers have been invaluable in my own growth, and I always leave our sessions feeling empowered and equipped to handle whatever comes my way. I highly recommend Bonnie to anyone seeking support for their mental health or navigating life's difficulties."
