Testimonial

After my one to one session with Vicky I was amazed at the difference in my attitude to both my riding ability and to Daisy my horse. Vicky helped me to delve along way back to my childhood to challenge beliefs that I had held for a long time and that had in turn had a detrimental effect on my confidence. She also pointed out the importance in being herd leader which proved to be very successful with my rather dominant mare. Just by setting a few ground rules and sticking to them Daisy is far more respectful and I am more confident on the ground which has a positive effect on my riding. I have competed and attended clinics with her and I am now jumping 85cm with confidence and most of all I am looking forward to and enjoying these events. I am looking forward to cross country when the weather permits and have the safe knowledge that if I begin to falter I can contact Vicky for reassurance. I would recommend NLP to anyone who is finding that their fears and lack of confidence are hindering their enjoyment with their horse and at the ripe old age of 53 I can say that it is never too late to try something new!
