Here are some things that participating educators have had to say about our programs:

“I feel that Medicine Horse helped this boy find his happiness again. He showed confidence when earlier in the year there was only anger and resentment.  I think this program brought back a kiddo that might have otherwise been lost.” A. R. Dolores School District

“Prior to visiting Medicine Horse, our student was very argumentative and confrontational and felt ‘singled-out’ by his behavior. When asked to leave the room to calm down, even for a break or a walk around the pod, he would become very upset. After visiting Medicine Horse, he would still exhibit impulsive behavior, but his response to being asked to correct his behavior was much more positive, and pleasant. He would also make requests or ask for alternative choices or tasks as a method responding to behavioral corrections.” L.N. Cortez Middle School

“Our student experiences strong emotions that she acts on with physical aggression or back-talk. Prior to her experience at Medicine Horse, she had a very hard time letting another student ‘have the last word’. After Medicine Horse, she still struggles with impulsivity, but overall still seems to be able to contain her feelings of frustration or anger better. She has also become more productive at school.” L.N. Cortez Middle School
