"A Horse Connection is a wonderful program! My son (who is autistic) has been attending for the last few years. His progress has improved tremendously and the benefits show in his social and education skills. He has gained the experience of coordination and listening, to actually preparing the horse for his therapeutic session." - G. Spurdis
"Nancy King is doing ground breaking, progressive work in the field of equine assisted therapies ... Each client has an individualized program that focuses on reaching the highest goals." - Petina Cole, Red Horse Productions, LLC (Path International Riding Instructor, EAGALA Equine Specialist)
“Our daughter lights up with joy and excitement every time she sees “Pony Boy” and Nancy. She (Nancy) has not only blessed our daughter but our entire family. After only one month of sessions, our daughter has so much more awareness of the left side of her body than she did before and weight bears through her arms, which she refused to do before. Sophie went from crawling to standing to cruising along the couch.” - Ashley Jones
“The environment created by Nancy is amazing. I have never seen a more caring and nurturing person when it comes to the care of her horses and clients. Emma (daughter) was fully engaged. Nancy and her volunteers maneuvered the horse and created fun and natural activities, providing much needed balance and trunk strengthening. Emma’s natural gate began to also change. Emma’s orthopedic doctor commented, “Whatever you are doing keep doing it.” – Liza Knox
"This experience has proved to help build his strength, his confidence, his awareness, his speech, and his love for the beauty in the world around him. On a social emotional level, I truly believe a Horse Connection has already helped our son and it will continue to help him as he gets older and becomes more aware of his differences.” - Deborah Slocum
Nancy King is a very patient, calm, supportive and wonderful therapist! My child has become more confident, less anxious while at the same time working on social skills/cues, physical dexterity and more! He has less outbursts and finds the sessions to be calming (even if a task is very challenging to him). He perseveres with the task until he is successful – something he never used to do. It has been a blessing for us to find Nancy King! - Tracie Dugdel
