I felt safe and supported, thank you.

I look forward to working with my own horse on a new level of connectedness.

A beautiful location, even in the dry times and the horses were lovely.

It was fun sneezing when Dozey did. It made me laugh.

I learned a lot about the horses and how they respond in the moment and then move on.

My initial nervousness and awkwardness turned into losing track of time. Quite relaxing.

I didn’t realise how much I held my breath and tension.

Our son has been attending Wilkydoo for approximately two years now and has thoroughly enjoyed all of his sessions engaging with the horses, exploring and understanding the workings of the property and connecting with the environment.
Betty provides a safe, relaxing and fully inclusive space where our son is available to engage, enjoy and immerse himself at his own pace and feel confident with the choices that he makes for himself.
This service and environment, has helped in allowing our son to improve his ability to centre himself, relax and therefore focus in the moment, improve his memory skills through positive and enjoyable interactions that create connections. The experience also promotes idea generation and independence.
We would recommend this assisted learning session to anyone in need.

I approached Betty to assist me with some sessions that I needed to undertake for my course, whilst I thought I was attending as a learning experience, what I found was that I was actually learning a bit about myself. Betty was able to gently coax me into making some self realisations whilst working with the horses. I felt safe and supported in doing this. The horses allow for expression where normal counselling offices may not. The property and horses were a wonderful experience to be around.

My experience with my EAL session was something that I will never forget. I was very nervous to start off with as I had not been around a horse since a child but Betty and Dozey certainly put my mind at ease and I found the session to be fantastic. Betty was amazing with the way she guided me through the session and we were able to identify and work on some personal issues. I felt very comfortable in the session and Dozey is just a beautiful horse who has the patience of a saint. I am looking forward to undertaking another session soon.

I attended a session with Betty and her beautiful horses and found the whole experience both very interesting and valuable. The briefing we had before working with the horses meant Betty was able to tailor my session and activities with the horse to my specific needs. The horse I got to work with was calm and had a beautiful personality. I really enjoyed my session and would recommend Wilkydoo Equine Connection to anyone!
