TestimonialS

Eva Gardner 

This course has helped me grow so much! I used to be scared of horses because I had a bad experience with one once. But this course has helped me overcome that fear, and now I can't imagine life without horses!

Kris & Kristin Hicks

Words cannot express the gratitude and love we have for this program. Our daughter, Jackie, was struggling with moving to a new town. She excelled in this program; it was challenging, but she has transformed her attitude and improved her grades. Jackie is now a 4.0 student, a milestone she had never reached before. She enjoys life again. Thank you, Bradleys!

This is such a great program! I learned so much about myself, horses, and others. I gained lifelong lessons and discovered how important everyone, including myself and horses, is.

Our son has changed so much, and his true character is finally emerging because of Leading Trails. The man I always knew he could be feels safe enough to shine. We cannot thank you enough.
