“I cannot wait for the next session! I see the light at the end of the tunnel!”
“We’ve covered lots (food aggression, tacking up, stable, groundwork, long reining, leading, catching etc) but the improvements aren’t just in those areas, it’s everywhere. I love that the methods are clear and firm but gentle and kind and I love that you are gentle and kind with him too and genuinely care about him.”
“The guidance, support and teaching I have received from Julia has completely changed my approach to interacting and working with horses. Julia has supported me to better understand how to communicate with horses in a language that they understand and this has enabled me to feel more confident around my horse and the other horses on the yard. The array of communication strategies and groundwork exercises I now have in my toolbox help me to stay calmer, even in tricky circumstances and I can see that the more I work with my horse, the calmer and more trusting he is becoming"
“Prior to meeting Julia, I had developed a fear of picking out Zac’s feet because he would lift his back legs when I didn’t want him to and I felt scared that he might kick me. Zac would also not stand to be groomed and instead would move from side to side when he wished, sometimes almost knocking me over. After two sessions of groundwork with Julia, I felt confident to pick out Zac’s feet, by myself, and not only did he keep all four feet on the ground until he was asked to pick them up, he also stood perfectly still whilst I groomed him. I now don’t hesitate to groom or pick up Zac’s feet and I am very grateful for Julia’s support with overcoming my feelings of intimidation around him. ”
