Working with Kellie Sipos was an absolutely transformative experience for my journey in establishing a therapeutic riding center. From our very first conversation, Kellie demonstrated not only a deep understanding of the equine-assisted services industry but also a genuine passion for helping others bring their visions to life. Her guidance was comprehensive—covering everything from facility planning and program development to navigating regulatory requirements and creating sustainable business practices. She helped me avoid costly mistakes and connected me with valuable resources and professionals in the field that I wouldn't have found on my own. Kellie’s professionalism, insight, and responsiveness made every step of the process feel achievable and well-supported. She took the time to understand my specific goals and challenges, and then tailored her advice to fit my unique circumstances. Her encouragement and strategic input gave me the confidence to move forward, and her ongoing support has continued to be an invaluable asset as I grow the center. If you're looking to start or improve an equine-assisted therapy program, I can't recommend Kellie Sipos highly enough. Her expertise and dedication make her an incredible partner in this important and rewarding work.

My name is Jam Lee TePoel, instructor at Rise Again Riding School. I first saw Kellie Cunningham Sipos made a comment in a riding instructor group that she was publishing a book of lesson plans for EAL, EFL, and EAP. I reached out to her and asked her if she had any faith based lesson plans that incorporated spiritual lessons or scriptures with horses. She promptly offered to create a sample faith based lesson plan to send me. I was so impressed with the sample she created that I suggested she could also create an additional faith based lesson book to publish and market. I even suggested to her some Facebook groups to post in to gauge interest. She now has 30 faith bassed lesson plans with worksheets and optional scripture cards available in a PDF format which is awesome. She would like to publish it in paper format too which I think would be great because I tend to prefer Paper based books. I would highly recommend the books by Kellie Cunningham Sipos- either her first published book with 75 lessons Called Where Horses Lead- A Guide with Lesson Plans - available in Print or PDF. Or her second book of Faith Based Lessons currently available in PDF and hopefully soon to be available in print edition too.

Kellie has been incredibly helpful on a personal level, offering thoughtful guidance and support beyond just the lesson plan. Her passion for equine-assisted work truly shines through in her work and dedication to the field. The lesson plans she personalized for our equine therapy groups were exceptionally well thought out—clear, practical, and grounded in real-world experience. They offered a solid structure for group sessions while allowing flexibility for different needs and dynamics. The therapeutic activities are engaging and meaningful, and the emphasis on emotional safety and connection with the horses is spot on. I’m so excited to receive my copy of her book—it’s clear from her work that it will be an invaluable resource. I highly recommend her book to anyone working in the field of equine therapy or group facilitation.
