"My daughter has been in horseback riding lessons in this program for over a year. I have seen growth in her horse knowledge comprehension grow steadily the entire time she has been in lessons. Her socio-emotional skills, her tenacity and bravery, and her confidence have continued to grow, I believe, as a result of her participation in this program."

"After looking at several horses closer to where I live, I journeyed ~six hours to Erskine to see this program first hand and meet 'Roger', ('Positively Prairie', 2009 AQHA bay gelding) to see if my instincts were right. Everything I'd read on the website rang true. Cheryl's passion for horses and her sensitivity to training captured my heart. Then I met 'Roger' and he was everything Cheryl told me he'd be. Needless to say, 'Roger' is now a permanent part of my life and I couldn't be happier. I know I have the best, beautiful bay and without a doubt this program will always be an instrumental part of our lives. What a happy moment for me when my search for a horse led me to Erskine, MN."

"The fresh air, hard work and time with horses always brings her home with a smile on her face. Always. She’s never had a bad day at the barn."
