What our guests are saying

Read the experiences of our past guests below.

Dr. Kelley Lay

“I’m a veterinarian. Along with that I grew up with horses, so naturally I have a respect, admiration, and a feel for them. Because of my background, I had heard about equine-assisted therapy. I had never participated in it, but thought “I just want to see what this is like so I’m more educated.” I wasn’t really planning on getting anything personal out of it other than some quality time with one of God‘s beautiful creatures. Oh, pride and naivety.

In all of my times around horses before, it had always been an interaction and discussion with the horse from my perspective and my angle, but having an expert read the language, the feeling, and the intention behind the interaction was illuminating. My ego was called out and my character examined by a cheeky gelding named Titan. I learned things about myself, about my confidence, my need for better boundaries, and my childhood, all from spending 45 minutes with a horse.

You see, horses are most concerned about the intention behind your actions. Are you scared or nervous? Are you angry? Are you passive or doubtful and so you don’t really mean it? They will reveal to you what you are unwilling or unable to show yourself (along with the help of the amazing Ashley as an interpreter).

The details of a session are hard to explain because it is really an experience, and that is unique to each person who does it. So if you have not yet allowed and gifted yourself with the experience of finding out who you really are through the soul piercing eyes, mind, and heart of a horse, I advise you to visit Redemption Ranch at the Aerial BVI and experience the magic for yourself. Vet’s orders :).”

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Ashley and Team were kind, courteous and provided good information. The energy of the ranch is very calm and you can tell the animals are loved and well cared for. It was a fun but educational day! So happy that this experience is available. I will definitely be returning with more friends!

Ashley is such a special soul. Horse, pony, and most importantly, human whisperer. In two hours with her, I learned more about myself than i havein years.

“I notice small differences and growth each week. More confidence, more curiosity, and more of a willingness to try”

I want to express how much more powerful my session was with Ashley and Titan was than I had anticipated. They are truly amazing, and I am so incredibly grateful to have met them both.

Sharing my unforgettable experience with Ashley for equine therapy. I didn’t know what to expect going in but it was a new experience that made a huge impact in my life. Ashley has a way of intuiting and translating horse’s interactions with you into inner discoveries and exposes the underlying root causes that has been holding you back in life. I cried, I laughed, I got frustrated, and I learned about myself deeper in my soul. It felt like 5 therapy sessions all rolled into one. I highly recommend everyone to try Ashley’s equine therapy!
