"I so enjoyed getting to know you as you shared stories of how you acquired the horses you have... I saw what a compassionate person you are and how much you have done for the horses and for people like me who come to ride them. Thank you. Thank you for your time, your expertise, your thoughtfulness. I very much look forward to working with you, learning from you, and continuing to bond with Raz. You both have made a positive difference in my life, and I just wanted you to know that. Keep on keeping on and thank you for being who you are" 

"[My girls] had a ball! <3" 

"Masha and I LOVE [Ms.Julia] and love who we have become with [Ms.Julia's] help!!" 

"Thanks for all the time and work you have put into her. It is truly been a blessing to see her transformation from that very shy 6 year old to this confident 8 year old." 

"Thank you for all your patience with [her]. You and Mr. Rocky make her day when she comes for her lesson. We enjoy being part of the tribe." 

"We heard about Walker Acres from a mutual friend that she went to preschool with, and they couldn't recommend [them] highly enough. And then, I think, especially during this time, during the pandemic, it has brought [her] a lot of an outside resource for just social-emotional well-being. Her time off of a screen when so much of our world revolves around a screen right now, it's nice to get outdoors and to not have to have anything related to that or to hear her even ask because there's no need for it. So, that's been helpful, and I think too, just to make a connection with animals. She's always been just an animal lover but, to boost her confidence with a much larger animal has definitely been evident and we can tell a big difference with her." 

"Julia and Walker Acres provide a space for kids to just be kids. They teach responsibility, caring about the environment and the animals, and her patience and her love of her job shine through. So, we love coming out here and having time with the horses; learning how to ride, learning what it takes to take care of a horse and her enthusiasim...shines through and my daughter loves comeing here. We highly recommend it. " 

"You are doing amazing things for [my daughter]. Her confidence and determiniation to succeed are all right there on the back of the horse. Your method, your talents, and lovely entertaining personality keeper her enthusiastic and focused in doing her best...She is so proud of herself and I am so proud of her!"

" We feel fortunate to have found this opportunity - our experience has been fun, confidence building, and peaceful" 

"Highly recommended! Julia is the best teacher and really knows her stuff. She is wonderful with children and makes us feel right at home. She plans lessons centered around the individual rider. We enjoy going to weekly lessons."

I would absolutely recommend this farm 100%, I have had tons of amazing experiences with Julia! I love her to bits, she helped me a lot with riding and you should check her out it’s worth it

Julia [worked with] with [my daughter]for a couple of years. I have a teaching degree and I was a teacher for 9 years. I share this because I observed Julia through the eyes of a teacher [and] l and I absolutely loved her interaction, patience, and guidance with her kids. I particularly remember one day when my daughter wanted to quit because she got frustrated. Julia wouldn't let her quit. She encouraged her until she successfully completed the task. Everyday when I left... I knew [my daughter] was in good hands. If you're a parent, you know the importance of that feeling. I know that Julia has helped to lay the foundation for Abigail's future in horseback and I will always be grateful

My kids love Julia and Pepper. They ask about going almost every day. It’s fun... Highly recommend!
