“Horses never lie,” she said. “They only know now. They don’t care about your past. What are you right now and how do you present yourself? They give us the opportunity to see a person in seconds. |

Kamp KESSA Guest Reviews
...was an amazing place very relaxing and the experience with the horse interaction was beyond words. Waking up to 20 horses around your cabin and coming up to greet you was so awesome. Everyone was welcoming and kind and was very informative. The whole place is just peaceful. If you take the time to go to Cedar Fire Farm, you have to go on n a trail ride. It was not like any trail ride I have ever experienced. The countryside is amazing and if you don't want to be in a line of horses the whole ride, you must go on this ride! You get to experience what a horse truly is and how special they are and how much they have to offer us.
