Praise for Wisdom Ranch Curriculum:
"The girls have been able to open up and enjoy their experience thanks to the horses. Because the horses are the main focus of each session, the girls seem more involved and more at ease. They have grown fond of the horses they have partnered with and you can see their relationships with the horses grow each week. The girls parents have also shared the girls have opened up more to them and theses sessions have created some great discussions at home."Â
