My son’s time with Heather and Scotty is quite frankly something that I will back on and treasure forever. I watched my son evolve as the weeks went on as we spent more time with Scotty, building confidence, learning new skills and expanding self-regulation skills. Heather does an excellent job at meeting your child where they are at, adapting the session to fit their specific needs at that specific moment. My elementary-aged son has a neuropsychiatric disease in addition to being on the Autism Spectrum, therefore his needs can vary from day to day. I was amazed at how flexible and creative Heather was in accommodating his varying needs. Scotty is a horse with such a kind, forgiving and amazing soul. There is something amazingly special about the program Heather has created here. Scotty and Heather make an incredible team. It was an experience we will not forget, and I’m so grateful for all the time Heather spent with us. -Lindsay Grappone
Heather is a pure gift to this world! Words do not describe the transformation in my children after 8 weeks with Heather and Scotty. My boys are more confident and happy. They genuinely formed a trust with Heather and Scotty that is hard for them to foster with most people. I can't believe the improvement in communication. I am forever grateful to Heather for her humility, compassion, and love for others. Her love for Scotty literally passes through him to the children and families they serve. Thank you for all you do! Mental health and Autism support through horses is brilliant! I know you have more in store and I can't wait to see how far you take the healing so many need and deserve. Much love and respect to you and Scotty.
This program is absolutely PHENOMENAL! Not only is Heather great with kids but you can really tell she loves what she does. My daughter looked forward to this every week & I can see the positive impact it gave her. I absolutely recommend this program! This is such an incredible asset to the community. Thank you Heather & Scotty!

Healing on Manes is a wonderful non-profit organization. We are so fortunate in this community to have someone like Heather Luby to devote time and energy to help children with trauma thru equine assisted learning. Heather is friendly, energetic, patient and compassionate. Her and her sweet Scotty made my daughter feel special and helped her increase her self-confidence. -N. Snyder
Healing on Manes has been amazing for my son. Working with Heather and Scotty has brought him so much joy, and helped improve some of his social skills. Heather’s patience and communication helped my son come out of his shell quickly. He learned so much, and now loves horses. I’m very thankful!

I would highly recommend Healing on Manes. My daughter was looking for an outlet to manage her anxiety. Scotty is a gentle giant and helped her develop her love of horses. In my daughter's own words the experience "helped her escape from the world for a little bit". She has continued to work with horses and is becoming an accomplished rider. Heather is a gentle teacher with a great sense of humor. Her dedication to the program and her students really makes the experience enjoyable.
