WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT 'HELP FOR HORSE RIDERS'

Problems with Spooking & Bolting: My confidence has been given a HUGE boost. Topper has taken in a hell of a lot the last couple of days and probably seen things he's never seen before and not once did he try to spook or tank off. I can't thank you enough! Kim Goss ( UK) Kim.Goss@theaa.com
Training the Young Horse: You have helped me achieve one of my life goals. You found the way to reach me overseas and describe how I was able to connect with my horses in a way that promotes mutual respect. Your constant encouragement has meant the world to me. Not only are you a great trainer, but have become a friend as well. I know my horses appreciate your methods too! Kimberly Adams (US)
Problems with Stopping and Turning Thank you very much for your help. I feel so proud to say I'd taught her to do that - with your help. I've had so much fun training her and am glad to say that Kizzi is playing so well because I've taken the time to teach her. Helen Grundy (UK)
Problems with Stubborn. I felt I needed a new direction. The way we were going was nowhere. Thank you so much for your help. Sarah Nurse (UK) sent me a poem. I love it. Click here to read it. sarah.nurse@eggconnect.net

Problems with Leaving home. Thank you for your advice. It's been fantastic to talk to some one about it. We have been on a few hacks on our own now. Feeling much happier now, as I now know even if she tries it on she will listen and go. Thank you once again for your help. I'd like to think that other people would benefit from your advice as much as I have. Julie Palmer (UK) julieann.palmer@virgin.net

Problems with Dropping & Rolling: Thank you so much for your help. I had a hunch that she wasn't trying to kill me. Thank you for adding some insight into the situation I explained to you. I am now working towards a happy medium, as you suggested. Nancy Johnson. (US)

Problems with Aggressive Behaviour: You have taught me how to handle my horse in an assertive, yet gentle manner. I am so thrilled with the result. My gelding is not aggressive any more. Gina Tamblyn (Texas, US)

Problems with Wind-sucking: Thank-you SO MUCH. Your advice has helped a tonne and my new horse is not wind-sucking any more. Jessica Scholtz (S. Africa)

Problems with Catching. I had to let you know that what you told me to do WORKED! Within 5 minutes, I was able to get a rope round his neck and put his halter on. Thank you so much. We're new at this horse game and really appreciate your help.
Kim Woda (USA)

Problems with Leaving Home: Boy, you are an angel in the making! The advice you gave me WORKED! Percy was miffed about me changing the way I ride him, but I can't tell you how I felt on returning to the yard. 'Pure victory!' Thank you. Sarah Robinson (Shrops. UK)

Problems with Schooling: Thank you for your wonderful help and advice. It looks like I might be keeping her after all. I am sure there are a lot of people out there who could benefit from such good advice. Jennifer Stinebaugh (US)
