What others say about us

I had some hang ups about my riding. I had been working for over two years trying to get over my issues without much success. Amanda and I had a session over the phone and she gave me homework to do. Well! Within ten minutes of my first ever lesson with Amanda, I had happily cantered round the school on both reins!!!! This was a massive step for me (silly to others, but it was my hang up). Amanda said that it would be my favourite gait, and she is correct.
Amanda is a very clever lady, who helps you to feel good about yourself, who is positive and helps you to think differently. I would 100% recommend her help if you lack confidence and want to get back to riding “the way we used too”. Thank you Amanda x x x

Confidence Camp: I have had a wonderful weekend with my horse. I have enjoyed every aspect of the camp. Amanda you are SO positive and calming and gave me new found positivity. Thank you SO much, hopefully see you again soon.

Anne MichieEllon, Scotland

Confidence Workshop: I’ve found the workshop to be extremely beneficial. Being given the tools I need to remain in a positive mindset has set me up for future challenges that I can now embrace. The hypnotherapy was very relaxing and a great way to start off the correct mindset. Thank you very much!

Sophie NicholGloucester

Confidence Workshop: I thoroughly enjoyed today’s workshop. It was a lot of information to take in, but I am going to take the methods away today and keep testing them out. I have come away from the workshop feeling calmer and content and I am hoping the exercises prove effective in my future. Thank you very much.

Jessica PyneInverness

Confidence Booster Workshop: Really enjoyed the hypnosis having never done it before and I can see how it will come in useful in keeping me positive. Loved the technique with using cartoons and that will definitely help me put my demons to rest!
