Testimonial

Thank you both so much for the fantastic 2 day Confident Rider Course in February. I have already managed to make changes to my riding life. Frances - you helped me look at my horse in a new way, and I think I'm well on the way to speaking the language of Equus. Setting boundaries and being consistent in my approach on the ground is paying great dividends for my riding, and we have been making great progress. Vicky - your skills and experience have given me ways to manage my anxiety that really work consistently, and I'm continuing the visualisation and NLP techniques. We had a frightening experience at the weekend with a large loud motor-bike revving up in a garage next to the road, Toby was naturally freaking out but I dealt with it so much more calmly than previously. You make a terrific team, delivering the course intelligently and humorously, packing an enormous amount into 2 days. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to ride more intelligently to sign up, whether you have confidence problems or not.
