TESTIMONIALS

  • "Have you experienced anything similar to this with other practitioners before? If so, how do you feel this program differs than what you've experienced prior?"

    I have not experienced anything similar to the program Nicole and Maeve have created. They have not only provided the direct and specialized care Krome has needed through this current journey in his life, but they have also instilled a newfound confidence in me as Krome's guardian. The wrap-around support they provide are unmatched.

    “The fairy ladies! Being part of the mentorship of Nicole Linke and Maeve Bandt is a very special experience not only for the horse but also for us, their human. 

    From my experience, it starts by a nutrition evaluation , observation of the personality of your horse, living situation and followed by a body scan and body work. 

    I called them the fairy ladies after watching them working on my horses. Fingers of the same hand! They look at the horse together without discussing, give a look at the other and start working ... You will be puzzled, wondering how they could so fast figure out your horse's body.I witnessed my Natasha unable to move before a session because of neck pain, literally dancing 10 min after....just magic. But to be totally honest it can be a lot of informations to process in 1 session as a non practitioner. 

    Still, the cherry on the cake is that they teach you how to continue what they worked on. They give you tools and homework to be able to be your very own fairy lady. They teach you to think and listen to your intuition. I still call them but I have been able to solve some situation  with confidence and also make my own herbal mix.

    They are both very responsive if you have any question.

    I love their personality and energy, never pushing the horse further than he can. 

    My horses and I, we are blossoming since we met Nicole and Maeve. Thank you very much for creating this unique mentorship” 

  • “What knowledge or "tools" do you feel you gained from being in the mentorship program? Do you feel as though you're in a better place for lameness prevention and wellness moving forward?”

    I have gained knowledge about Krome's specific nutritional needs, the types of foods to avoid that cause GI issues and inflammation, how to read nutrition labels on feed brands, various types of natural healing ointments and essential oils, body work techniques, and pilar work -- BTMM. I am in a much better place to prevent lameness in Krome and to support his health/wellness since I have been working with Nicole and Maeve.

    “The dynamic duo!!  Nicole Linke and Maeve Bandt are truly magical. Their mentorship program is amazing to witness. I met Nicole after trying every medicine and health program, but nothing helped my two horses who were suffering from IR and metabolic issues.  After changing their diet, introducing herbs and whole foods, I am happy to say my horses are living proof how good food supports the body. 

    Nicole and Maeve have a way of knowing exactly what your horse needs and how to help. The way they communicate with each other is what makes them dynamic. They just know… A look, a word, or they collaborate together to come up with the best support they can offer your horse.  The horses are constantly asked what they need, listened to, and they never go beyond what the horse can handle; which is so important to me.  

    One session, they asked me if I was experiencing any body pain, sure enough I was.  Well my horse was mirroring me or was I mirroring him? Right then, they integrated me into the session. That session ended with me, running, and my horse trotting next to me, we were in harmony together.  Magical!!!

    The mentorship program not only includes sessions with your horse but they teach you, the horse’s guardian, how to implement their work. They are available for questions literally anytime!  For the first time in years, my horses are thriving, I am learning everyday what they need, and I am having fun.  My little herd of 2 and myself create an energetic triangle dynamic.  

    If you are concerned about the health of your horse or just want them to feel better overall, I highly recommend these two amazing women”

  • "What exactly did you like most about the mentorship?"

    It's hard to pinpoint one thing that I liked most about this program, there are too many!!! But, (if I had to choose :) I would say working with Maeve and Nicole. Being present to witness the way they interact with the horse is truly magical. They are true equine advocates. You can tell how much they love what they do by being there as they work with your horse. They took the time to guide and teach me how to implement the different types of therapies so that I could continue to support Krome through this healing journey. They answered all of my questions and have been there to support Krome and I with anything (even coming to his vet appointment when I didn't feel confident being there alone). They provided insight into how Krome was thinking and feeling when a lot of outside influences were saying it was his time to move on. Overall, seeing my spicy, redheaded boy return to himself again has been life changing <3. Would not be at this point without them.

  • “ What are the results you notice now at the end? (Physical/mental/emotional shifts in your horse/ you regarding your horse and your relationship)”

    Krome's knee injury is healed! He no longer needs the layers, upon layers of constant bandaging to keep his knee wound from reopening. The movement, body work therapy, and adding accommodations are helping to prevent further injuries and to reduce his sleep crashing. Krome's demeanor is shifting back to baseline. He has become much more confident in being away from his herd and we are making strong gains in reforging our bond. I am becoming more confident with setting healthy and respectful boundaries between Krome and I.

FAQs

Two practitioners feels like it could be too much for my horse - he’s super sensitive!

We understand that having two practitioners work on a horse at the same time can sometimes feel overwhelming for the horse.

Our approach prioritizes the horse's comfort and well-being, so we ensure that both practitioners communicate closely and work in harmony, always attuned to the horse's responses. If we sense that the horse is feeling stressed or overloaded, we adjust the session accordingly—whether that means one practitioner stepping back or taking breaks to allow the horse to process. Our philosophy is to never bulldoze the horse but rather to respect their needs, working at their pace and ensuring they feel safe and relaxed throughout the process.

who is the membership geared towards?
