Testimonials
Meagan’s coaching has helped me through one of the most difficult phases of my life. Through her guidance and unique way of communicating key lessons with her equine team, I have been able to progress further and gain more insight than I previously thought possible. Her coaching has helped not only strengthen the understanding and connection between my horse and I, but also how I connect with other people. I would recommend her coaching to anyone, and feel very blessed to have met her and her beautiful horses.
Meagan is professional and strategic in helping you achieve your personal goals. Over the years, I’ve relied on her knowledge and expertise to come up with solutions in managing overall health in mind, body and soul. Meagan’s level of energy and personal commitment has made a significant difference in my life and will continue to do so.
When I first went to the Ranch and met Meagan and the horses, I really didn’t know what I would get out of it, but I felt drawn to go and explore. What I found was an amazingly intuitive woman who is able to facilitate inner learning and growth with the partnership of her beautiful horse teachers. I have opened many doors of learning during the year that I’ve been visiting the ranch and have worked through life’s journey with grace and ease and very importantly – without shame. The healing energy at the Ranch draws me back each time and I am met with love and support always. I’m so grateful to have found this wonderful piece of Heaven, Meagan and her wonderful herd of wise teachers – they have added so much to my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
There is a trust exercise where a person stands above people who have their arms out to catch you when you fall. Working with Meagan Saum relates very well to this exercise. There is never a moment where the person falling feels pushed or forced to fall. That reason is because the people catching them knows boundaries and limitations. Meagan is the person who will be there waiting to catch you. I have had the pleasure of working with Meagan for over four years, not once have I felt unsupported or my boundaries pushed. I love horses, however what I love most is the support Meagan has given me to strengthen the bond between my horses and I. This further leads to helping me reflect on my weaknesses, strengths, boundaries, and limitations. There is no way I can ever thank Meagan Saum for how much she has helped me grow and continue to grow, knowing Meagan will always have my back.
In the spring of 2015, with the help of a grant, we were able to provide a group of students the opportunity to engage in an equine therapy program. We engaged the services of Meagan Saum and Silver Valley Ranch for program
where students went out once a week for a period of 8 weeks for approximately one hour.
We found Meagan transparent in their approach to equine therapy and open to our needs as a school. She was knowledgeable, experienced and professional and was highly communicative with the school and the guidance counselors who attended with the students. The students that participated were enthusiastic (they were always excited and looking forward to the day they got to go to the ranch) and found it enjoyable and meaningful. It was observed that these students were also better at connecting with each other through this time and were engaged in the process.
I am 14 years old and when I first met Meagan, I wasn’t very confident and I didn’t know much about mindfulness and meditation. Much has changed for me since then. Meagan has helped me develop self-consciousness and confidence. She has helped me understand myself and the world around me. I didn’t have a lot of
confidence at the time and I was frequently anxious. I not only learnt more about mindfulness and connections, but Meagan taught me to be confident and to speak my truth. She taught me what body language signifies and how it affects us and also how we use it. Now, I feel more confident, I feel truthful with myself, and I think I have grown so much more with the help of Meagan. I am eternally grateful for what she’s done for me. I would recommend Meagan to friends and family.
Meeting Meagan and working with her beautiful horses has been ground breaking for me. Her knoweledge and ability to really connect is amazing. THANK-YOU for all you do!!
The first workshop I attended was absolutely transformational. I highly recommend everyone to sign up and see what Meagan & her healing herd at Silver Valley Ranch can do for your life!
Having practiced various forms of mindfulness meditation since my teenage years, I can attest to Meagan’s broad knowledge in various forms of mindfulness training and how this relates to social and psychological wellbeing. I have been impressed with how Meagan guides larger groups through equine mindfulness exercise. I personally experienced immediate benefits from the equine mindfulness therapy including improved sleep quality and a higher level of energy.
After many years of traditional therapy, equine facilitated resilience coaching has been the most rewarding and engaging experience of my life. Thanks to Meagan and the herd, I understand more deeply the person I am and who I am becoming!
Nobody makes it alone, Nobody has made it alone, and we are all mentors to people even when we don’t know it.

Meagan helps you feel comfortable being you. Period. By her own authenticity and providing a safe place for you to “explore” yourself…you discover that you are strong…you are capable…and you are beautiful. What she gives is POWERFUL and NEEDED.
Meagan has a beautiful and unique way of standing with women while they journey to find their true inner strength! I’ve never seen work like hers before, you’d be highly re-missed if you chose not to work with her.
I have been telling my daughters since they were toddlers that women must support each other. Meagan’s inspiring view of the world is reflective of the message I instilled in my girls. Love, support, inspire. The world needs more women like Meagan.
Meagan is very intuitive, perceptive and direct. She is one of the most supportive women you will ever meet and is wise beyond her years. I’m so glad I met her and is now part of my life.
Absolutely incredible! Meagan does so many amazing things with her clients. She and her horses can change your life.
Everything Meagan does is a work of heart! What a beautiful spirit!
Meagan has such a great presence, she holds space that is safe and nurturing with just the right amount of push for forward movement.

Meagan offers authentic coaching that brings strength to your personal or professional game & honors your soul!
I loved my time at the ranch so much I’ve brought friends and my Alive Family back there. Meagan is truly gifted and a heart centered woman.
Thank you for all that you have supported me with and all those I’ve brought to your ranch.
Meagan is such an uplifting and incredible soul. I have been fortunate enough to grow up with this amazing women. She is someone I really admire and look up to. She is beyond gifted and has this pure rawness about her that makes who she is so special. I would spend every day with this lady if I could! Everyone would benefit with a little Meagan in their life!
My journey has been one of up’s and down’s, like everyone. For me I got to a place where I couldn’t just roll things off my back anymore. Things were getting more challenging and I knew in my heart that this feeling wasn’t who I really was & mostly I knew I didn’t want to live this way….. Fast forward a few years…. I am now living on a small acreage (lifelong dream) with my amazing husband, two dogs, & two donkeys. Life is good! Only wait…. This anxiety is still looming and actually seems to be getting worse…. Something needs to change…. In comes Bella, my now beautiful grey mare who was scheduled for euthanasia because of a bad leg; Well… Not on my watch! I can look back now and see that Bella had already been working with Roy (a horse down the lane), & Roy was working with Meagan & her amazing herd a few township roads away to get us all together.
May 2014 I went to my first workshop and have been a part of the Silver Valley Ranch tribe ever since.
Meagan has a very special gift in her life coaching & horsemanship skills. It has been a true gift to be witness to every relationship she has with each horse who lives on her families beautiful property called Silver Valley Ranch.
Each one of her horses has an amazing story as to how they ended up at the ranch and if it wasn’t for Meagan seeing the best in each of them some of them unfortunately would no longer be a part of this journey. She has turned fearful, anxious, angry, sad, frustrated, & dangerous horses into calm, safe, compassionate, patient, and loving souls… I truly believe the reason Meagan has these amazing horses that do the beautiful work they do, is because Meagan showed them the love, patience, grace, they deserved and never showed judgement or turned them away.
These horses know what it feels like to be scared, anxious, mad, frustrated, & depressed so when they are in a session with someone feeling the same, they can hold space and send their message of “it’s going to be OK, believe me, Meagan has helped me, and together we will work with you because you deserve it!”
My experience at Silver Valley Ranch has given me much more confidence, self-love, compassion, and an understanding as to why I was feeling the way I was and hanging on to that fear and anger that no longer served me.
If you are looking to feel empowered, full of strength & confidence, loved, someone who will always see the best in you, and push you to your best self, Meagan and her herd at Silver Valley Ranch is the place for you.
A very special Thank-You Meagan from Bella, Roy, Taxi, Wicca, Fantom, & every other member of the ranch herd.
There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.
