Testimonials

 

Vicki’s help with both riding and handling has been invaluable. I’m very happy to have found her as an instructor. She is very patient and uses techniques that allow your horse to work with you. I would thoroughly recommend her to anybody.  Sarah Bradshaw
 

Recently we have had several lessons with Vicki and her advice and help have been invaluable, we have seen great improvements in a very short space of time. Our Thoroughbred ex racer can be a bit spooky and Vicki has shown us techniques to help him and us overcome his and our nerves. She is extremely supportive and encouraging and has focused on helping us build a positive relationship with our horse. She has shown us new ways to ride which make for a much more relaxed time for us all! I can't recommend her training methods enough and we will be continuing with our lessons for a long time I am sure. Vicki always works at our pace and never pushes us to do anything out of our comfort zone, our horse loves her too and is always ready for a cuddle from her! Our lessons with Vicki are always fun and we always come away feeling very positive. Emma and Jon Barnes.

 

I purchased Guinness a very green cob in 2004. He didn’t know a thing e.g. leg aids or steering. I wouldn’t have purchased such a green horse if I hadn’t got Vicki’s support.  With regular lessons and encouragement from Vicki we started with the basics and from that Guinness and I have gone from strength to strength. We managed to put in a respectable performance doing dressage. We also enjoy jumping. I have learnt many new techniques. This includes groundwork she introduced me to natural horsemanship techniques and helped me to master lunging and long reining. My riding style is now refined and in tune with my horse. Guinness has become a responsive forward going willing partner. I also received valuable advice from Vicki on foot care, feeding and day to day stuff. You feel comfortable to ask any question.
