Kind Words From Trained Facilitators
-
“My personal confession. I did not expect the horses to be so sensitive to the child’s needs. Or how this was going to work to improve a child’s reading or math skills. Now I’m all in. Totally supportive. I can’t thank everyone enough for this experience.”
— Diane, Isaiah’s Place, Texas, United States of America
-
“Thank you Michele. This little girl only had two sessions with Bullseye due to COVID, however her learning took off after the first one! She hasn't looked back on her reading. Thank you so much for all that you do. The program is inspirational and one I hope to use many times in the years to come.”
— Trish Forsyth, School Principal, New South Wales, Australia
-
“So this little girl started school this week, and her mom called in to say that she can’t write or spell. Guess the teacher was wrong. Thank you so much for HPR! It is definitely happening and it’s all because of you [Dr. Pickel]!
— Lene Carsten, South Africa
