for how ecstatic I am. I just received an email from a client whose horse went home on Sunday after three weeks of intensive schooling. He's a 5yr old ex-racehorse who she was having real trouble with. He's her first horse, and she was having real problems with mounting him, with his bargey behaviour in hand, general bad manners, and the naughtiness under saddle.
He came to us for three weeks, and went home a different horse. I think he needed to go somewhere new and start from scratch again. He learned that he had to respect us, and that we respected him, and since he went home I've had a text every day telling me how well he's doing. Then today, I got this, first emailed to me, and then posted on our yard facebook page.
"Hi guys, i am so impressed and amazed with the work you have done with Dee, i hope you don't mind me letting others know.
My ex-race horse went to Robyn and Alex to learn some manners and to learn how to stand to be mounted. They gave me regular updates on his progress and made sure he was looked after to the highest standard! I was told i could go up and see him whenever i wanted and when i did i was made to feel very welcome!
He had never stood still for me to get on him and i literally had to get on him in canter, he would pull you around the yard, and barge you in the stable, however in less than three weeks hes now back home, he is calm, chilled, he doesnt barge and most importantly he stands like a brick for me to get on him. I never thought he would ever do this! It makes it so much easier to push him on and enjoy him! Its so nice to receive texts asking how he's doing and i know that if i wanted to book future lessons with them they would be more than happy to take us on!
You guys at abbey barn are fantastic and i will recommend you to everyone!!!
Thanks so much guys! Love H and Dee xxx"
I feel so proud to know that we've done our job well, and that the horse that she was saying she was ready to sell is now with her for the forseeable future.
