A friend suggested Dressage training in cheshire with Val Smyth - does anyone know her? Recommended? PM me if poss

cheers guys
 
I'm at Raby House now :D She still comes and teaches a few people on the yard, always hear good things but don't know what her teaching is likely personally.
 
Wow, this takes me back - I worked for Val part-time when I first left school and she was temporarily based at Wirral Riding Centre (we are talking a loong time ago). I know she went to Lucinda Green for a while and then to Ferdi Eilberg so she has great credentials. I ran into her about 4 years ago at Sparsholt, she was based Fordingbridge way then so I guess she's moved back to her roots? Sorry, can't comment on her teaching now, but she was great with me when I was 17!

Wow, didn't realise it was still going, I was there in '69 I think when Mac was still there. Have some very happy memories of there, is the old Equestrian Club still going too?
 
It's just a livery yard now with about 25 stables, I really like it here and my horse is very settled. Current YO has ran it for quite a while now, at least the 10 or so years I've known them
 
Hey...not sure if this a little too late now but i train with Val...she's absolutely brilliant. Shes turned us around in dressage and jumping and we havent looked back since, all my tests comment on how correctly trained my mare is :-) really sensitive with the horses, no gadgets and really supportive...couldnt recommend her highly enough.
Hope this helps :-)
