Testimonials
"As someone who would not consider myself religious but rather spiritual, no one ever even nudged me about religion which can be really refreshing for some who may not be as open minded as I feel I am. I felt accepted the moment I walked in.
You provide a safe place for people to grow, lean about themselves (and God if they choose). I still find myself telling people about the first time I realized how the horses could teach me about boundaries...if I did not tell them to stay back, often they would continue to walk towards me and ignore what I thought I was telling them. Or if I find myself near horses now-a-days, I smile and pretend to pull in the rope to see if they understand me.
What you and your Gateway family provide is really special Nancy!! Thank you for letting me be a part of that!"

"Thank Heavens for people like you and your farm! When I look at that picture of your rescue fellow I get a lump in my throat thinking of what could have happened to him - Bad enough that so many others aren't as lucky. I wish you more and more success. God Bless!"

“I want to say from my heart, thank you for creating Gateway. Without Gateway I wouldn’t have been able to fully cope from my abusive past…. Gateway opened my eyes to a new view of life…. To know that everyone at Gateway would be there when I needed to talk or just plain needed someone, has opened my heart more to the world around me…. I find myself trying to help more and more people….”

“Gateway is so special, there is something so “magical” about it in a sense…. I know it’s not magic, but it’s the best way I can explain it lol. It is filled with love. God is everywhere there, I feel Him. He lead me to you and forever changed my life. I was able to overcome the anger, I was able to overcome my trust issues, I was able to understand what standing my ground truly means…. Thank you for allowing me to work with Grace, she was and is absolutely wonderful. What an amazing horse she is. She is so strong, stubborn, funny, tricky, playful and trusting. This entire experience will forever be in my heart and memory…..”

“…I will never forget my experience with Gateway. God has blessed you all with such a great gift of wisdom, understanding and such graciousness. I would like to express with my utmost deepest sincerity the gratitude I have towards the Gateway Family.”

“…Gateway offers a serene, peaceful, safe, non-judgemental setting….Although I have only been at Gateway a relatively short time, I have noticed that I am calmer, more at peace, am more courageous, and feel that one small part of my life is ‘good’…. Being at Gateway is like healing balm to my soul….”

"At the end of the day when xxxxxx and I were cleaning up she said that she feels so safe at Gateway. She went on to say she truly feels we are her family. She appreciates how everyone is interested in her and asks her how she is and shows a interest in her, she feels we truly care. She said we are her family because she can’t have her real family. I agreed and reminded her that family is not a family because of blood. Overall she's so grateful to the Gateway family-all of you!"
