Real Stories - Real Results

“After working with your horses, I remembered the response of another to my aggressive “I’m in charge here” approach. I stopped and let them decide when they were ready to come with me. I was able to provide the space they needed, and they gave me the space I needed, which hadn’t happened with us prior to the session. I had previously been demanding trust without gaining it from them. It made me realize that I felt safer trying to be in charge of relationships, so that I didn’t get hurt, rejected, abused, maligned, or otherwise mistreated. I almost got my face bit with that approach. I almost got kicked with that approach.”

“It’s amazing to see what the horses did for us veterans. Tension left our bodies. I had to let go of my control and ego.”
US Army veteran
“Forever Amber Acres has provided unequaled supplemental PTSD therapy for me. Since participating with the program I have been successful in reducing the severity of my depression, and have gained valuable insight as to what the underlying causes are.”
US Marine veteran
“Feeling such a powerful and intelligent animal relax and attempting to earn their trust is so unique and difficult to describe to someone who has not experienced that; giving their emotions and soul wholeheartedly to make this connection. I know this will help others if it can help me…”
US Army veteran
“It never ceases to amaze me how each time I come here, your horses lock into whatever my challenges are and show me what I need to do…that’s why I continue to come.”
US Army veteran
“I’ve had a significant amount of traditional therapy and I was speechless by the effectiveness of my sessions. I’ve been struggling for more than 20 years. My two hour session was revolutionary! I made a shift that was life changing. I had to let go of my attitude so I could move past my old trauma. I have a newfound confidence and hope!”
