I’m so grateful for the chance to be part of Horses with Hearts. The equine learning sessions I’ve attended have truly changed me—in ways I never expected.
Before this experience, I often stayed quiet and kept to myself. But being here—working with Miss Karen, the other participants, and of course, the horses—has helped me come out of my shell. I’ve grown in my communication skills, stepped outside my comfort zone, and found the courage to try things I never would have imagined.
Through Horses with Hearts and My Village, I’ve experienced aerial yoga, music therapy, and art—activities that would have once made me nervous. Now? I look forward to them. I’ve become more assertive, more open, and more willing to say yes to life.
In fact, this journey has inspired me to take one of my biggest steps yet: returning to school after being homeschooled for four years. That decision wouldn’t have happened without the confidence and encouragement I found here.
This program isn’t just about horses. It’s about helping people like me rediscover their strength, their voice, and their potential.
To anyone wondering if this could help them too—it absolutely can.
— With sincere thanks,
Waylon Jacob
