What Participants Say About Judy and her EFP Groups
"Judy Weston-Thompson has an abundance and spaciousness as the teacher, leader and guide in the journey to understand Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy. Her sensitivity and intelligence make her uniquely effective in helping students understand matters of safety and protection, nurturance, boundaries, communication, and relationship dynamics as it relates to working with a mighty horse.

And it must be said that her co-therapists Caesar, Calysta and Star partner seamlessly, providing countless metaphors and projective material to explore and assess with Judy’s guidance. Every session has given opportunity to witness and embrace how this work allows clients to connect the horse’s experiences to their own, and convey their feelings and issues in a way that is both dynamic and less daunting than might occur in traditional talk therapy."

SURCINGLE: INDIVIDUAL THERAPEUTIC RIDING LESSONS
BOOKED BY APPOINTMENT ONLY -- PRE-REGISTRATION AND PRE-PAYMENT REQUIRED
$75 per session, includes horse (STAR)
SURCINGLE RIDING I am excited to include a unique form of horseback riding to my program: riding with a surcingle. On top of STAR, I lunge clients in a 20 meter circle while they utilize the safety of the handles and padding on the surcingle to remain balanced and secure. The rider experiences bareback riding, but the safety of the handles on the surcingle allow for security. People of all ages are welcome.
