I met Judy and Souly more than a year ago when I had personal issues to resolve. Judy provided the human touch to listen and advise, but Souly offered me a compassion and kindness that made me able to open up more freely. I believe he absorbed some of my anxiety. I also believe that in this time, the three of us formed a bond. I trust and love these two and consider them my friends.

Souli has me wrapped around his hoofs! Judy and Souli together are really helping me navigate this thing we call life. ❤️

I grew up with horses. My first ride was at age three — on a full-sized horse — and these magical creatures have held a place in my soul ever since. But osteoporosis ended my riding years, and I had quietly accepted that the deep communion I once knew with these animals was simply behind me.

Then I found Equine Insight, and Judy, and Souly.

I went not seeking therapy. I went simply to be with a horse again. What I didn't expect was how much Souly would be able to give me just what I needed.

His history says everything. A mounted police horse. Then years at Giant Steps, working alongside children and adults with disabilities. That kind of life doesn't just pass through a horse — it settles into them. Souly carries a quality of attention you rarely encounter, in humans or animals. He reads what you're not saying. He doesn't perform or push. He simply arrives, fully, right beside you.

Judy creates the conditions for all of this to happen — unhurried, knowledgeable, warm without being sentimental. She understands what the horse offers and just lets it all happen.

I left with something I hadn't expected to find. A quieting. A reminder that presence — real, unhurried, honest presence — is its own form of healing.

For anyone who loves horses, has lost their connection to them, or simply needs to stand next to something that doesn't require anything at all from you: Souly awaits.

Judy and Souly are truly something special. Her ability to connect, interpret, and guide through her work is both insightful and incredibly grounding. I left feeling more clarity, peace, and a deeper understanding than I expected. Souly is absolutely amazing, he is calm, intuitive, and such a powerful part of the experience. Highly recommend. I walked away feeling lighter, more clear, and honestly a little in awe of the whole process. If you’re even a little curious, it’s absolutely worth it.

What a wonderful experience this was. I had the pleasure of meeting Judy and Souly today, and I feel so fulfilled. Judy is a great listener. She made me feel so comfortable and welcome. I don't have much experience around horses which didn't matter at all. I connected with Souly right away. His calming energy was exactly what I needed, I found it to be very healing. Judy created such a peaceful and calming environment, and the entire experience helped me feel more grounded. She is so knowledgable and in tune with Souly. I learned a lot about him today, it was so impressive. I would highly recommend equine therapy to anyone looking for a unique and genuinely rewarding experience. I cant wait for my next session.

Judy Weston-Thompson has an abundance and spaciousness as the teacher, leader and guide in the journey to understand Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy. Her sensitivity and intelligence make her uniquely effective in helping students understand matters of safety and protection, nurturance, boundaries, communication, and relationship dynamics as it relates to working with a mighty horse.

And it must be said that her co-therapists Caesar, Calysta and Star partner seamlessly, providing countless metaphors and projective material to explore and assess with Judy’s guidance. Every session has given opportunity to witness and embrace how this work allows clients to connect the horse’s experiences to their own, and convey their feelings and issues in a way that is both dynamic and less daunting than might occur in traditional talk therapy.

I have had the deep pleasure of being in the company of Judy and two of her equine guides. Their calming energy, along with the peaceful environment at the stables, allow me to be fully present and at peace even when emotions are overwhelming and life seems unmanageable.  

The horses model the ease with which we can interact with each other if we choose — with honesty, empathy, and mindful awareness.  In their presence, we can look to our instincts and feelings, and listen to our visceral reactions instead of our thoughts. They naturally encourage self reflection, grounding, and the exchange of unconditional love.  It's a special treat to spend time with them 💕.

I am so happy with how much progress and growth my son has been making through therapies with Judy and Baron for his own growth. The social challenges that used to be so hard in previous years are FINALLY starting to lift. It is such a wonderful thing to experience and I truly am so glad we crossed paths with Judy to get the process moving.

Walking into the arena to meet Judy and the horses was life-changing. I never realized how deeply horses connect with people and their surroundings. Working with Rosie, Doc, and now Sully has been incredible. The most powerful moment for me was sitting outside, feeling energy release from my body as the horses absorbed and processed it. This work is unforgettable, and I’m forever grateful to Judy and the three horses I’ve been lucky to grow with.

My Mom passed away, and I was not prepared for all the information about to come my way. Murder, child abuse, and so many lies, I didn't know the truths I was about to learn about. All I could think was leaving the planet myself. Then I pulled out an old business card from Judy Weston, and I hoped she would help me again. I left a message, and she returned my call so quickly. I cried, telling her to help me. She said absolutely!! She explained she did therapy with horses, EquineInsight.net, and I don't know if I even heard her. I was afraid of horses and thought they better leave me alone. The three horses she had at that time were Ceasar, Baron, and Calista. I avoided them at all costs yet started to notice I wasn't so scared of them anymore and began to feel the gentleness that they would give me. The bond between the horses and myself was growing with every visit. I was trusting them and they were LOVING me safely. I hadn't really experienced that before. I have worked with many of her horses and not one was a disappointment. Her present horse, Souly, is by far so connected to doing the work with you that it won't be long before you will feel a connection like no other. A peacefulness will rise up within you, and you will begin to really understand what love is and that you deserve it!!
