TESTIMONIALS

CAROLINE & CHARLIE +

“I met Lyndsey when she was judging at a BE dressage competition. I loved the way she described how she worked with her clients and their horses, and subsequently arranged for her to undertake a physio session on my horse. Using a variety of techniques, she was able to get him to move more freely...

After this I booked in for weekly lessons and I cannot believe how much we have progressed.

Lyndsey has endless enthusiasm, her ability to understand the mechanics of horse and rider enables the rider to get the most out of their horse even if they are not perfect.

She has gone over and above, to help me when he refused to load; and schooled him for me when he put me in hospital for a week!

We embarked on the journey with Lyndsey having no expectations for our competitive dressage career. Over the summer we entered online dressage competitions and to my complete surprise he had numerous wins (over 70%) and placings.

We know there is still a lot of work to be done but Charlie is now able to engage and carry himself and I can now ride him so much better; both of which neither of us were capable of doing before we met Lyndsey.”

HAYLEY & MR BAILEY +

“I first started lessons with Lyndsey over a year ago. Bailey and I clicked with her straight away; Bailey adores her! We started with weekly lessons and identified what we wanted to improve and achieve...

Bailey suffers with kissing spines and can become rather tight and difficult to ride at times which Lyndsey discovered in our first lesson! Lyndsey totally understood that he needed to build his muscles through lessons to help with his posture. She also focused on calming him down and was able to get him to listen and focus, which then helped me stay calm and confident.

Bailey and I have improved so much with Lyndsey. She works hard on getting the rider’s position correct and explains everything in a way that I can understand, and she adapts her approach to each individual rider. She has given me my confidence back again! I am so pleased with this achievement.

Lyndsey is extremely passionate about the importance of all aspects of working with your horse. She is especially good at explaining groundwork techniques, she also explains things from a physio’s point of view in addition to other perspectives.

Lyndsey always gives me exercises to do in between lessons such as lunging or pole work and movements to help with Baileys suppleness and to get him listening to me. If I am unsure what I need to do, she will get on and show me! He is like a different horse when I get back on him as she is an excellent rider!

Lyndsey’s unmounted goal setting sessions are fantastic. We had a virtual meeting during the current lockdown looking at what I would like to achieve and accomplish this year and how we could get there. I am so pleased to have met Lyndsey. She is a fantastic rider and is deeply passionate about teaching and physio. She gives 110% every time. I really enjoy my lessons with her, and Bailey enjoys being back out again, the transformation is amazing!!”

MARK & JORDANSTOWN +

"Whilst searching for a physiotherapist for my ex-racehorse I received a recommendation for Lyndsey and that is where it all started...

She came out to treat my horse and helped him tremendously by finding areas of muscle pain and weakness. After a couple of treatments there was a huge improvement.

Lyndsey soon identified that my riding position was influencing how Jordon moved. I embarked on rider symmetry lessons with her and was amazed how much I learned. I just could not believe that my balance was having such an effect on my horse and causing the sore muscles he was getting. We have regular lessons now and we are both improving so much. The lessons are great, the focus is on me becoming a better rider and gaining an understanding of how my horse moves. When we get it right my horse is happy and willing to do his job.

The difference in my riding is so apparent and I now have a different mindset whilst onboard, especially when schooling. I am so much more focussed on what I must do, and Lyndsey regularly sets me exercises in between our sessions.

Lyndsey will quietly work through any issues with us and encouragement is key. I have had many lessons in the past which have been great, but I have never been as focused as I am now, and the transformation is amazing.”

JULIE & MOLLY +

“Never Too Old/Age Doesn't Matter- I discovered the joy of horses late in life. Prior to meeting Lyndsey, I was a novice happy hacker who just muddled along without any real direction or understanding...

I have had Molly, my gorgeous 11 year old Irish cob for nearly 3 years. She is a gentle soul but soon sussed me out and at times showed me very little respect. I used to wonder why she didn’t behave that way with Lyndsey, now I know it’s all about working together in a partnership of mutual trust and and respect..

Things are now changing since meeting Lyndsey. With her help and support I am gaining an understanding of how to work with Molly to establish that all important partnership, and what I need to do to help Molly work correctly - all to her benefit of course.

I never used to do any groundwork and had very little enthusiasm for schooling, I just didn’t know what to do or what I was hoping to achieve and left the arena feeling very disappointed with myself. Believe it or not, I even used to think that Molly hated me riding her.

With Lyndsey’s help my transformation has started. I now understand the importance of correct balance in both horse and rider and the necessity of gradually consolidating and building on progress, never rushing onto the next step until the horse and rider are ready. With Lyndsey’s guidance I now regularly lunge Molly and our partnership is beginning to develop, Molly even listens to my voice which still amazes me but never fails to make me smile. I have gone from hating schooling to enthusiastically having a go, Lyndsey has given me direction and purpose and we always have homework to practice, which I do with Lyndsey’s voice echoing in my head helping me along.

I am now loving every step of my horse journey. My transformation is totally down to Lyndsey. She is a truly inspirational coach with a deep understanding, vast experience, endless patience and she totally transforms every horse that she rides. Lyndsey’s holistic approach also makes use of her knowledge of equine biomechanics with the welfare of the horse being central to everything.

For the first time I feel that I am beginning to do things properly with Molly, even though I have a long way to go, I know with Lyndsey’s help and guidance that I will enjoy the journey enormously.

Don’t hesitate to ask Lyndsey to help you with your journey of transformation, the only question that you will ask yourself is .......why haven’t I contacted her sooner!?”
