Reviews

  • “What an excellent afternoon for our team!"

    “It was the perfect opportunity to come together, get out of our comfort zones, and challenge our go-to mechanisms we use when working through our everyday projects. The lessons learned in the horse obstacle course were incredibly applicable to where we’re headed as a team.”

    Elizabeth Cipolla, Decision Associates

  • "What a neat and enriching experience for the staff and the horses..."

    “Dena taught our Centaur Stride Therapeutic Horseback Riding Facility staff how to get grounded in our in- house EAL clinic. What a peaceful and blessed experience. She worked with our facility’s mares and the result was nothing but magical. Growing our horse skills will give us new insight and love for all we do here.”

    Holly Reslink, Centaur Stride Therapeutic Horseback Riding Facility

  • "In less than 6 months, my life significantly changed for the better in every aspect. I can say without a doubt that Dena guided me on the path that I am meant to be on. She inspired me to start my own successful business."

    “When it seemed like life was too much to handle, the universe sent me Dena. Her wisdom, compassion and empathy are like no other. She assured me that I could succeed, and she knew I could make it happen, even if I didn’t believe in myself or believe that I could.”

    Chelsea K

  • "The biggest takeaway from our session was finding the ability to ground myself in a way that deepened my connection with my horse."

    My session with Dena was a once in a lifetime experience and I am thankful...so now I can better take care of my horse, ”Easy”. Prior to our session, I struggled with nervousness. Now, when he acts out of the ordinary, 1 am able to quiet my energy and respond to his reactions confidently. It is extremely rare that he exhibits unsafe behavior, but when it occurs, I am able to work with him in a way that brings his attention back to me and reestablish a connection that results in safe interactions.” - Clarissa S.

  • "Got to experience horse yoga with this business and absolutely loved it all.

    Her calm and relaxing personality help you immediately feel at ease even though our group had all beginners in it. Lots of laughs and left feeling uplifted and grounded."

  • "Almost immediately Matt had a connection with her horses, Keke and especially Mr B."

    “A wonderful experience. Dena is so welcoming, and excited to share her love of nature and horses.

    Dena works with Matt on relaxation techniques in nature, with Mr B watching and waiting for Matt from the barn. We noticed on our last visit that Matt had left his iPod and head phones in the car, he was indeed ready to just enjoy his time with his friends Dena and her horses.” - Karen Silzle, Counselor

  • "Truly one of the most amazing moments I've been lucky to capture."

    "Dena is one of the sweetest souls you'll ever meet and her calming aura fills any space she's in. Along with her two rescue horses, Mr B & KeKe, Dena offers therapy, yoga, paint sessions and more for anyone looking to relax and unwind in a country setting... an unforgettable evening of sunshine, warm breeze, flowers in bloom, birds singing, horses grazing, and so many smiles." -Catherine Baglia, 716 Media Solutions

  • "Talk about a good positive experience....l cant say enough."

    “My 9 year old granddaughter spent some time here and she was absolutely glowing afterwards. There are people you just can sense the good positive vibes from and Dena is one of them. Talk to her about what you are looking for and she will deliver.” - Donna Fowler, Licensed Real Estate Broker, Century 21
