I had a wonderful trip over to the Isle of Wight yesterday where I was working with delightful sisters, Kate and Andrea and their horse and pony, Willow and Magnus. We were working on confidence issues and separation anxiety starting off with good old groundwork. Kate in particular has had a couple of nasty accidents which she describes in amazingly vivid detail . We talked about the techniques that I have learned via Amanda Barton whereby these images can be reduced from a glorious, cinematic, technicolor video to a small black and white still. Hopefully, once she is ready to ride again, she can have a lesson or two with Amanda. Magnus has a stunning array of showing and dressage rosettes and just needs to widen his horizons so that he can be hacked out quietly.
"Just a little email to thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to come over to the island and help the four of us.
We had an absolutely fantastic day and learnt so much about your methods, ourselves and Willow and Magnus. Your calming influence worked wonders! With no clear professional back up, I think both Kate and I had begun to question our own abilities to the point of even narrowing our comfort zones. It's all too easy to bumble along in your own little bubble becoming more and more overly protective and not looking to new horizons and most of all FUN! Thank you for putting confidence, new methods and most of all fun back into our horsey lives. We are lucky enough to live in a beautiful area, be around two wonderful animals daily, and now have renewed enthusiasm for the future........minus our various selection of bogeymen! (Who now live in the "bucket" you left by the gate)." A
"Willow and I have been using the techniques you taught us on a daily basis. Even in the gale force winds the other day she walked quietly by my side out to the field." K
