Camp Testimonials:

​"TRAK officials-
Well, I believe my daughter has "Horse Fever". Symptoms include: talking about horses, reflecting giddily about her experience at the ranch, referring to characters such as "Izzy" and "Little Doc" with a sort of dreamy affect, etc. Having no other contact with horses, I can only assume that she developed this condition directly from her exposure at the TRAK ranch. Therefore I am notifying you indeed to suggest that her Horse Fever most certainly came from the ranch.

Treatable? I'm not sure, however, I believe that her condition can be relieved with more contact to horses. 
​
Thank you- in case it isn't clear, she had a great time at the camp and was empowered and excited working with the horses and of course your patient staff.”
