Testimonials |
I have been Jo's instructor for 5 years and witnessed her growth as both a rider and horse trainer with great pleasure. Jo has the ability to adapt to different horses and assess what is needed in their training to bring out the best performance. Jo has been my groom at many important competitions, gaining experience at the highest level of horse preparation including Athens 2004. Any horse put into her care would be in the best of hands. Jo is a dedicated talented trainer and rider and I would without hesitation welcome her at Showfields - Jayne Craike NZIM |
Jo has been a total inspiration to my riding. Her enthusiasm and drive has improved my riding no ends and has given me the confidence to go out and compete successfully. She has helped me so much by explaining and showing me in an easy to understand way. I have achieved more than I had imagined I would with my riding and with her help and support I look forward to fulfilling future goals - Dania Hoskins |
Our first youngsters had the usual challenges. We were getting frustrated and losing confidence about our ability to bring them on. We wanted someone who would educate both horse AND rider. Jo has a light, calm pragmatic approach & a remarkable ability to relate to clients and their mounts. The transformation is remarkable. Our aids are more precise, subtle and more confident with horses that are straight and engaged in walk, trot and canter. Thanks again, we hope your sensitivity, skill and humour helps others to Enter At A Smiling instead of Scowling- Graham Pohl |
When I bought my young mare I had no experience at all with young horses and was a at a loss. Jo is amazing helping me out by schooling my horse and teaching me how to handle, train and ride a young horse. With her positive and encouraging approach she gave me back my confidence in my horse and in my riding ability. With Jo's support I am positive that we can achieve our goals. After my lessons with Jo I always have a big smile on my face and a feeling I have achieved something - Bjorke Schreeder |
