I had a great time! Diane and Bear were very welcoming and shared so much of their knowledge with us. the Center is so peaceful and a true opportunity to unwind and connect with nature. The horses themselves are beautiful and you can see the love and compassion Diane and Bear show for them. I truly enjoyed my stay here and hope to be back soon.

The hosts were absolutely fantastic and made us feel right at home from the start. They were incredibly supportive and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. If you're curious, they share a wealth of knowledge, making the stay even more enriching. The location exudes tranquility and is the perfect spot for some serious relaxation. We had two unforgettable weeks here, during which I truly felt like I recharged my soul. Saying goodbye to Diane and Bear was hard, and I still think about them and their beautiful place every day.

The most incredible experience, Diane and Bear are both truly amazing people who made me feel at home from day one. All of the horses are so wonderful to work with and I loved learning all about their story's. Day to day work was enjoyable and exactly as Diane advertised and was always appreciated by Diane, I've been able to make friends for life through this trip and also gained a home away from home with Diane and bear. I can't thank them enough for this opportunity and welcoming me into their beautiful home🤍
