I am grateful for Cindy’s structured feedback & Mr. Doogie’s heart. Their openness allowed me freedom and a different perspective on my life. Mr. Doogie’s instincts gave me space to truly view my feelings and become aware of an emotional wound long hidden. This work helped me to free myself

I recently did a session at Equine Enlighten Ojai, and it was truly a transformative experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of calm and curiosity.

​

What I loved most was that it wasn’t about riding or learning horsemanship in the traditional sense, it was about connection. Cindy gently guided me through exercises that helped me tune into my emotions and energy while interacting with Doogie the horse. It was fascinating to see how Doogie mirrored my feelings/energy, making me more aware of my own presence and silent (wordless) communication.

​

The session was peaceful yet powerful, and I left feeling grounded, clearer in my thoughts, and strangely lighter, like I had let go of something I didn’t even know I was holding onto. Cindy creates a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can truly slow down and be present, and Doogie opens your eyes to the quiet, powerful connection we share with animals and makes the whole experience feel genuine and real.

​

I highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking something therapeutic, restorative, eye-opening, or simply wanting to try something new.

My equine-assisted learning session with Doogie and Cindy was more profound than I ever could have imagined. I arrived excited, but I could not have anticipated the depth of what I would walk away with. The experience brought me home to myself in a way that felt both grounding and freeing, opening up space for an inner conversation that I was unaware had been waiting to break through for quite some time.

​

Cindy and Doogie hold such a unique and beautiful presence together. Cindy is warm, open, and deeply intuitive, asking thoughtful questions that guided me gently into new awareness while also leaving room for Doogie’s quiet wisdom to naturally lead. The balance between her facilitation and his grounded energy created an environment where I felt completely safe, seen, and supported. It wasn’t just about what surfaced during the session, but the way they invited me to slow down, listen, and connect with myself on a much deeper level.

​

The setting itself was peaceful, private, and surrounded by beauty. A truly ideal space to truly open up and receive. Every detail of the experience reflected care and intention, allowing me to feel fully present and immersed.​

Cindy was wonderful to work with. I did a private horse assisted learning session with her and received a lot of insight from the very first session. I found it to be powerful, and Cindy is a very deep listener which creates a safe place for her clients. I’m excited to see what future sessions with her will uncover.
