Blimey i've only just joined the forums and its a very 'interesting' place ;0 Well I have trained with rebecca for 3 years and she has taken me from unaffiliated prelim to winning my first medium bd test last weekend and the nationals at prelim within 6 months of meeting her!!
She has a very nice way with both clients and horses. My youngster was especially difficult rebecca has kept us both calm and quiet and still worked through the required scales of training for each level. A 100% thumbs up from me!!
I'd definately recommend Kate G to anyone and everyone. She has done wonders for both me and my boy and we are continuing to improve all the time, winning our first BD lem with 70%. I've tried loads of different people in the area and she is by far the best and really easy to get along with. I feel totally comfortable around her and we can have a laugh but every time I have a lesson I learn looooads. The horse loves her too. I really couldn't recommend her enough and everyone I have recommended her to are continuing with lessons with her. Don't know why you couldn't get hold of her? I have always found it very easy to get in touch with her and book weekly lessons and she will always do her best to accomodate me even at short notice. Despite having a yard full of horses to work herself and a plethora of clients to teach she always seems to be willing to squeeze me in and know she does same for others. I even get replies when she is away training in Germany!!
Have watched a couple of lessons with RP teaching and wasn;t very "taken" with her (being diplomatic )and haven;t heard many good things tbh- most people have eneded up looking for someone else. Jan Evans is good though. She works in Pencoed College.
