Kind words inspiring mothers:
“Having my daughter work with Savvy and Franny has been such a gift, an answered prayer really. She has a huge capacity to feel her emotions and sometimes they can be intense and nothing we have done so far has helped her. With only a few lessons we have already noticed a difference in her entire being. She is more confident and has been able to self regulate in times when these big feelings come forward. Being able to ride Savvy and find friendship with her and Franny has opened my child’s world. Every day she has a session she is beaming! I am amazed at how intuitive, clever and fun Franny makes each session. She is amazing with children and has such a warmth to her approach. Savvy has been such a great horse also and my daughter hasn’t stopped talking about either one.” - Sarah
“What a true gift our experience with Franny and Savvy (the sweetest horse you will ever meet) at Wild Yarrow has been! With no prior experience with horses, the whole process feels very natural for our 3-year-old daughter, Piper, all thanks to Franny’s thoughtful planning and guidance. Piper enters this magical space where her feelings are validated, encouraged, and worked through. As she bonds with Savvy I see her cultivating a deeper self-confidence and respect for the horse's boundaries and her own. I highly recommend these sessions to ignite courage, mindfulness, and connection for your child. It’s truly just a bonus that she’s 3, riding a horse with stirrups and reins, with the brightest smile, “all by herself!” We couldn’t be more grateful.” - Lindsay
