She always had a passion for working with people and grew up on a beef cattle farm and so horses have been a big part of her life. For her, horses really complete the connection to spirit and she is constantly amazed at the power, beauty and grace the horses provide our clients.

Dee Dee's work in the veterinary profession provided her countless opportunities to witness the significant value of the Human-Animal Bond. She initially recognized the horse's unique gifts during her years as a volunteer assistant in a therapeutic riding program in Alberta. Since joining the Little Oasis team in 2017, Dee Dee has observed the horses gently but effectively enlightening the EAL participants with their "life lessons". She feels very privileged to be a part of these special and profound moments.
