What Clients are Saying
Hear from Our Happy Customers!
I have had the deep pleasure of being in the company of Judy and two of her equine guides. Their calming energy, along with the peaceful environment at the stables, allow me to be fully present and at peace even when emotions are overwhelming and life seems unmanageable.
The horses model the ease with which we can interact with each other if we choose — with honesty, empathy, and mindful awareness. In their presence, we can look to our instincts and feelings, and listen to our visceral reactions instead of our thoughts. They naturally encourage self reflection, grounding, and the exchange of unconditional love. It's a special treat to spend time with them 💕.
Sabrina
Individual Session
I met Judy and Souly more than a year ago when I had personal issues to resolve. Judy provided the human touch to listen and advise, but Souly offered me a compassion and kindness that made me able to open up more freely. I believe he absorbed some of my anxiety. I also believe that in this time, the three of us formed a bond. I trust and love these two and consider them my friends.
Andrea
Individual Session
I am so happy with how much progress and growth my son has been making through therapies with Judy and Baron for his own growth. The social challenges that used to be so hard in previous years are FINALLY starting to lift. It is such a wonderful thing to experience and I truly am so glad we crossed paths with Judy to get the process moving.

Quiet, honest, and
just for you.
At Equine Insight, our individual experiences are a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and be fully present — with yourself and with the horse beside you. These one-on-one experiences are designed to meet you wherever you are in your life journey, offering space for reflection, clarity, and meaningful connection.
The horse meets you in the present moment, offering insight in a way that words often cannot. Whether you’re navigating change, feeling emotionally stuck, or simply looking to reconnect with your inner voice, the gentle presence of a horse provides a powerful mirror. They respond honestly to your emotions and energy — without judgment — helping you become more aware, centered, and grounded.
