"I recently visited Wind Dancer Ranch for a week of lessons. It was awesome! Heather was really patient while we worked on improving my leg and seat.
Over the week my riding, seat and horsemanship improved drastically. She had many different exercises to enforce correct, classical riding. They were fun, made me think and best of all worked! I even rode my horse in circle patterns without using my reins!! (Something I had never mastered before). I look forward to coming for more lessons and clinics in the future!

As you can see from my home page "About Heather" section, I have a life long history of experience and education with horses. I have learned more from experience, experimentation, and years of interacting with horses and people, both on a personal and professional basis, than my formal education. However, I am certified in a number of areas, which I will share here.

"Heather Bonser is definately an exceptional teacher. Her approach to people and animals is one of great kindness and respect. She teaches her students to work with the horse in a way that both horse and rider have a very enjoyable experience together.

These services are for those who truly seek their own healing, understanding of the people and animals in their lives, their purpose, and finding and development of their own gifts. I employ techniques from Celtic, Far Eastern, and Native North & South American cultures. I am a self taught Herbalist, Reflexologist, and Nutricianist, for over 20 years, who's greatest "patient" is my biological father, who through my herbal, energy, and life medicinal techniques has lived with quality of life, for 14 years past his western practitioners predictions. That journey led to the publication of my first book, The Hepatitis C Cookbook in 2004, available on Amazon.com As with my riding and equine work, I am also certified in some healing arts, which are listed here.

Testimonial:
"I worked with Heather during December of 2008, during my vacation in Texas. I came to her with my confidence at an all time low, thanks to several falls and years of Dressage and jumping instructors who worked exclusively with my body, ignoring my mind. Heather was the first teacher to ask about my history with horses, and the first to understand the mental blocks I'd developed. In a matter of days, she revolutionized my seat, and brought my confidence to levels I hadn't had in years. I highly recommend her to beginners and advanced students alike, but especially to those who, fro wahtever reason, feel that they are not as comfortable on a horse as they should be."
