Testimonial

I was very sceptical when I signed up for the Confident Rider Course, yet I was struggling so much that I really felt I should give it a go. I'd had a bad fall and damaged my ankle and that's all I could think about whenever I wanted to ride. We had lectures in the morning, followed by group work in the afternoon. I can't honestly say what changed or which technique helped the most, but I went home and persevered with the techniques I'd learned - all I know is it was money well spent. I'd recommend the course to anyone struggling with confidence. Vicky and Frances put 100% into the course and I now have a different attitude to riding and am finally enjoying my horse again.
