“The horse is God’s gift to mankind”

(Arabian proverb)

I believe the care & welfare of animals is of paramount importance. Training animals requires a great deal of time & patience, an appreciation of its temperament & capabilities. All my horses are extroverts & get pleasure from working; you can see the sparkle in their eyes, the alertness of the ear and the sleek condition of their coats. They thrive on the care & attention lavished on them & they thrive on the disciplines in which they excel.

I dedicate myself to the physical & mental wellbeing of my horses. The promotion of their health & wellbeing is my responsibility.

 

Education, knowledge & understanding. 

I believe that it is a crucial part of the learning cycle to continually update my skills & qualifications, thus enabling me to achieve higher standards & evidence of competency. And to demonstrate my capabilities by possessing recognised qualifications.
