Julia has been instrumental with the boys riding. She puts the ponies needs first and teaches the children to listen to their ponies to get the best from them. She explains everything in detail so they understand what they’re trying to achieve. The boys enjoy their lessons, even flatwork!!! Thanks Julia for all you do and your dedication.

What some of my clients say....

" Julia has helped me enormously for the last 5 years. She had the hard task of helping a young horse and a rider to whom dressage does not come naturally. Her patience and support has made the world of difference and we are now being competitive at elementary. She has a way of explaining things that just makes sense, and explains a feeling rather than a result. Heavy elbows being one of my favourites. I have seen so much improvement and because of the way Julia makes it fun and stress free the horse and I don't get tense. She knows when to push us and move us on to harder movement, and when to stop. If we are finding something hard she has an armoury of exercises that make you improve without realising it. I laugh my socks off most lessons and always leave with a smile. Julia is so much more than just a trainer she is good for the soul. "

" Julia is a fantastic instructor, I particularly like her approach to understanding the individual and their horse, gently teasing out the very best from the combination. Julia has been exceptional at helping me through many stages where I have lacked confidence over the years. "

" Julia has been an incredibly popular instructor for South Wiltshire Riding Club for a number of years now, her lessons are attended regularly by members who are always hugely complimentary of her knowledge and expertise helping them achieve success with the four legged friends. The results of those she teaches speak for themselves! We highly recommend Julia. "

" Finding a good match between rider and trainer isn’t always easy. It requires knowledge, patience a good eye and understanding of both the rider and horse. Julia offers this. Julia has trained my daughter for the last 10 years. She is excellent at training and building the core skills to help a rider achieve their best and a solid platform to developing their skills with her and when they need to do it for themselves at completions. This can been seen in The success her riders achieve and their ability to cope when faced with adversity. Julia connects with my daughter and has helped her form strong understanding relationships with all her ponies and horses no matter how different they may be. "

" Thank Christ she's finally stopping that woman from flapping at round on my back like a paper bag in the wind. Could improve the hard work to treat ratio though - I definite deserve more. "
