Testimonials

  • “Hoof in Hand has skilled facilitators who understands diverse learning needs and can connect, lead and listen in an inspiring way. I fully trusted that my neuro-diverse child was being supported in a meaningful and engaging way”

    Home school Parent - Multi-Week Youth Program

  • “My students came out (of the 6 weeks hoof in hand youth program) with much confidence and empathy. Some of my boys are much calmer now. They seem more confident and willing to deal with issues” …. “Many students are now speaking to each other in a different and more positive capacity”

    Teacher grade 6-7 - Multi-Week Youth Program

  • “I have never done something like that before and didn't realize the impact of accessing my own sense of calm via a horse!”

    Team Building and Professional Development - Day Workshop

  • “I noticed the students were very respectful of the other students and the horses. Their communication skills improved significantly (throughout the multi-week program)”

    Indigenous Support Worker - Multi-Week Youth Program


  • “Many kids in our area do not get to interact with horses, despite being in a community of ranches and rodeos. Hoof in Hand made this opportunity special by creating a safe learning space for kids to yes, learn about horses but the amazing connection experience they leave with is meaningful in a different way. Every class was opened with clarity and intention and closed with check-ins and debriefs”.
