We had the Bunny Gurus at a joint birthday party for two kids turning 6 and 7, and they were truly…read moreone of the highlights of the day! We had originally considered having a petting zoo, but after finding Bunny Gurus, we realized it was actually the better option for our party. Instead of a large setup with lots of different animals competing for attention, this gave the kids a more personal, hands-on experience with the bunnies. They were able to slow down, interact with them, and really enjoy the experience in a way that wouldn't have been possible with a traditional petting zoo. From the very beginning, the booking process was seamless. They responded quickly to my inquiry, answered all of my questions, and made everything incredibly easy. Their website clearly explained the different packages, and we chose the smaller package, which still included 10 adorable bunnies--more than enough for our party! The staff was absolutely wonderful with the children. They were patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the rabbits they care for. They shared fun facts about each bunny's personality and habits while encouraging the kids to gently interact with them, build trust, and bond with the animals. They made each child feel special by pointing out when a bunny seemed to like them, which really boosted the kids' confidence and made the experience even more meaningful. They brought everything needed for the setup, along with a huge variety of bunny-safe treats that kept the kids engaged throughout the event. The children loved getting to feed the rabbits, watch them do fun tricks with certain treats, and our birthday kids even got the opportunity to hold a bunny at the end! If you're looking for a unique, interactive, and memorable party experience, I can't recommend Bunny Gurus enough. It was such a special addition to our celebration, and both the kids and adults absolutely loved it!

As someone with a son who has intellectual disabilities, I can only hope that he someday has this kind of opportunity. What wonderful people in a wonderful place doing wonderful things.

I think what makes her special is her ability to communicate in a way that helps you move past your apprehensions and fears, without making you feel incompetent. Her knowledgeable, gentle and intuitive instruction is the only thing that got me unstuck and helped me progress to the next level of riding. I am forever grateful for her in this respect. Also, as a first time horse owner, I knew very little about horse care and health. Cici has helped me every step of the way in caring for my mare who was in bad shape when I took her on. I am so grateful to Cici because she helped me save this horse and get her into excellent health. Cici has turned my mare from a skinny, ill-tempered bucker into a healthy, responsive, respectful and connected horse. She turned my horse and my life around for the better! It's easy to see that Cici absolutely and truly loves what she does. She's a true teacher and horsewoman, and I am so lucky that I found her! Highly highly highly recommend!!

Their generosity helps these kids, grades 6 - 12, to spend a night away from home at Camp Arroyo, to learn how to better interact with peers, learn teamwork and communication skills, develop greater abilities to trust and create social bonds, and have a fun time, too! There is a pool, zip lines, and activities at this well organized site just on the hillsides overlooking the grapes and wineries of the Livermore valley. This has been going on with Springstone for at least the last 4 years or more, through their generous sponsorship. All the kids got knapsacks with items like water bottles and other momento items. The kids love the experience and learn new things about themselves and their school mates, which can only build their confidence and help them grow into better adult members of society. The Foundation sponsors other children's groups with similar generosity.
