TESTIMONIALS

Allow your intuition to guide you to this remarkable experience. My journey began in search of a distinctive celebration for my boyfriend’s birthday. Upon arrival, Andrea’s warm and vibrant energy welcomed me, affirming the serendipity of our meeting. This experience stands apart from all others, offering a genuine connection with Flash and Red, all while unveiling new facets of yourself. Flash resonated deeply with me, while Red found a special connection with my boyfriend, mirroring our unique personalities.

Upon departing, I left with a profound connection to Mother Earth and Smarty Pants Ranch, eager to share this enchanting adventure with my mother someday. Words fall short in describing this extraordinary journey, but I’ll leave you with this: it’s an unparalleled experience that has illuminated my path and purpose. Endless gratitude to Andrea, Flash, and Red for this transformative encounter

It was so wonderful to meet you, Red and Flash. To visit your beautiful home and to see all you have created. We had such a magical time! My husband said, “This was the best birthday gift ever.” I am so grateful because in just those few hours with you... you and the horses provided us with awareness and tools that I know will support us for a lifetime! I am so glad to have met you! I appreciate how kind and compassionate you are & how you helped me work through my initial discomfort with the horses and brought me back to trust. Internal trust ❤️ You are a beautiful wild woman. Thank you for modeling that to both of us.

Dearest Andrea, Kindred spirit, wise woman, nurturing mother, gentle and fierce facilitator…

Thank you for a magnificent two hour trip through your portal and into your world of healing. The circle, cards, prayer and guidance brought us deeper into what we received from your majestic beings RED and FLASH.

Clearly the love and care you share with them radiates out into the field we got to play in. Thank you for holding my family in a way they have never been held, oh boy did I need it, crave it, and felt every bit of it.

Thank you for guiding my children back to themselves and helping them see themselves through your eyes. Thank you for seeing my husband and being able to reach him through his dark horse armor.

Thank you for seeing me and allowing me to receive it all. Thank you for sharing so much of your story, home, and wisdom. We are all changed because of it. Thank you for committing to our connection! Can’t wait to visit you again!
— Andrea
Red blew me away! He was so tender and sweet. It was beyond anything I could have imagined. I really felt him there. He so emphatically answered the question I had for him...and then confirmed it when I told him I was going to follow his advice. Completely amazing
— Bri
Thank you so much for that incredible experience with Red and with you. You and the horses are providing a portal into which human souls can access their “true selves” and their spiritual domain. If I would have known what I was in for, I probably would have chickened out, but you made it feel like a hero’s journey and I am so grateful for you and so happy I made it through.

One feels both vulnerable and brave at the same time in the ring. I listened to Red breathing close to my heart and it felt like Red was breathing life back into me. We synched our breath and his strong male energy felt like a cape around my shoulders.

Thank you for the amazing resources and allowing us into your sacred land. You have created something that is beyond words and the experience keeps getting richer and deeper as the days go by and the energy of you and Red sinks deeper into my consciousness and heart.
— Liesa
