Two of my kids worked with Carolyn (separately) and Wildfire Ranch, and I was able to attend a women’s retreat. It was such a lovey quiet time for me, to learn about horses and how they interact with humans. My last time around a horse was, erm, not pleasant – these mares though are calm and used to people. My kids really like learning horse care and how to behave and be present around large animals. A great experience with a caring professional, all around. Thanks Carolyn!!

We had a great visit with Carolyn and Hope Higgins as they introduced us to the wonderful horses at Wildfire Ranch. We were led through grooming and getting to know Daisy and Liberty.  My 8 year old had the joy to lead Daisy in walking and trotting which showed her confidence. Then she was guided to be brave and try riding Daisy.  Young Hope was such an encourager for my daughter and Carolyn was a great coach and guide. Our visit was to get to see Wildfire and the horses first hand.  I see only blessed things happening here through equine therapy, especially for those having experienced trauma.  The Higgins Family have begun a wonderful ministry.
