"My son, Boris, who has Cerebral Palsy and I have been going to Special Spirit for a therapeutic ride for a few months already and I can say that it is not only an excellent physical exercise for muscle strengthening and balance improvement for my son, but also a wonderful experience for both of us.  When we go there, he brushes his horse, gets acquainted with the other horses, after the ride he feeds them carrots, goes to see the rooster and the chicken, Eva even gave us a few fresh eggs once. There are also peacocks walking around and everybody is so nice and friendly. We LOVE going there !"

"Our daughter Avery is 5 years old and started riding at Moonshadow Ranch almost a year ago.  She had a major abdominal surgery when she was 4, and we began riding lessons as a way to restore and strengthen her stomach muscles.  Avery loves animals and is very at home in the stables.  We strongly recommend Eva Lund and her riding program for children.  Eva has a passion for her work and a natural ability to inspire and motivate our daughter.  We feel that safety is a priority to Eva, which puts us at ease.  Avery doesn't seem to mind being pushed to try new things in her lessons, which is a testament to Eva's ability to make riding fun.  All of the positive reinforcement Avery has received from even her small achievements in riding has boosted her confidence.  We also love the wonderful volunteers who help and encourage Avery.  Special Spirit at Moonshadow Ranch is more than a place of learning, it is a place of mentorship!"
