Just some course customer comments to date: "nice, relaxing, informative", "I really learned from the course - it helped me to understand my horse!", Most enjoyable - would thoroughly recommend your courses to any caring horse owner!", "a great opportunity to see the horses free-schooling", "I am looking forward to using what I've learned today with my horses", "Enjoyable, very intellectual, opened my eyes!", "I've learned so much in a short space of time", "Thanks goodness I took this course - my horse will thank me!" Please note, the following courses are taught using my horses
(it's easier for you to learn with horses that know what to do!) you can then take this knoweldge away and work with
your own horse. If you would like training with your own horse this can be arranged as a 1:1 session
either at your yard or here. My courses have a maximum of 6 students to ensure 1:1 tuition. Alternatively, if
you have 6 people I will run any of the courses at your venue. “So, you want to own a horse?” 3-day course I
was inspired to offer this course having met so many people who bought horses and it quickly became apparent to them
that they had not a clue what to do but had just meddled along as best they could. Some people assumed they would get
help from others at their yard, but often this was conflicting and in some cases downright wrong! Luckily some got the
right help in the nick of time, some had to work through a lot of problems and heartache but unfortunately others, like one
particular lady I met, acted on bad advice which in turn left her with a dangerous, angry, misunderstood horse. She
completely lost her nerve, felt she had no option but to sell her horse and has sadly given up something that was once her
passion. Goodness knows what happened to the poor horse as it is now "labelled"……..
