What can I say Elisabeth and May are a wonderful team! I adopted an OTTB 2 years ago and it has been
quite a journey. This team has seen us through rehab, groundwork, ridden work and liberty work. My
horse is learning to trust knowing he will always be safe and cared for. At WRE, horses are given voices
to learn, grow and trust. It is a wonderful place where humans and horses thrive.

I am a forever fan of your mindful and healing blend of human and equine encounters that heal the soul and lift up the spirit.  I enthusiastically recommend your program to anyone who seeks connection with these magnificent, exquisite creatures and fellowship with the humans who love and care for them.

I am part of the Willow River Equestrian family. My horse and I have been fortunate enough to benefit and grow from the amazing training and care given by Elisabeth and May.

Both trainers are so attentive and kind to my boy and he eats that up. Their goal is to make him the best horse for me. All of us have become such a cohesive bunch... our horses get along and it is comforting to know that I have other horse Mom’s watching over my boy when I am not at the barn.

I came to the horse world as an adult, never imagining that working with horses would mean working just as deeply with myself. This has been the greatest gift of my one-on-one training with Elisabeth Hower and her clinics. Elisabeth is kind, supportive, compassionate, and deeply intuitive—not only with riders, but with horses as well. The connection between the two is vital to a successful, harmonious partnership. Wherever you are in your horse journey, you couldn’t be in better hands than at Willow River Equestrian.
