Our Team
Becky Demke - Founder & Director
As a horsewoman, former teacher, and mother of a special needs son, I was immediately drawn to the SpiritHorse program for its research based steps, one on one instruction, parent involvement, and affordability for our clients. We received our license in 2012 and have been providing quality equine assisted therapy ever since. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with so many wonderful people and know that we make a difference in their lives as well.

Rebecca Fetzer - Certified Instructor & Trainer
I started volunteering at SpiritHorse five years ago and have developed a deep love for the horses and our clients. Each year I spend the summer training the horses and assisting in the lessons. I find great joy in seeing the progress of our students and the love they develop for the horses. I live in Utah for most of the year, but I always look forward to spending a couple of months in this beautiful, enriching place.
