Reining training and confidence giving

“I first met Michael with my reining mare Shiney three years ago. I was struggling with her on my own as I was a novice rider. Michael took us back to basics and built up our confidence. He helped me learn to ride and compete in a relaxed and calm atmosphere. He has so much patience and has made a huge difference to my ability.”

Backing, starting and reining training

“I bought Lloyd while at Michael’s yard, when he was two and a half years old. I have had the pleasure in watching my young horse being trained in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. The foundation work Michael puts in is second to none and Lloyd is now out there competing and what an amazing job he has done.

Lloyd is now a well grounded, fantastic little horse. Michael is so patient with horse and rider, and we are both going from strength to strength. Michael is making Lloyd into a fantastic partner for me and I love it every time I go down to ride and learn. He has helped me progress from a novice to a competition rider. If you want the best training for you and your horse I can think of no-one better.”
