"I started my riding journey having lessons with Melissa many years ago and am so pleased she has returned to our centre. Her lessons are technically excellent and explained in a way that is easy to understand. She has given me the confidence and skills to improve my position and horses going and at the end of each lesson gives really helpful useful feedback. I always leave the lesson feeling i have improved some aspect of my riding."

"My horse Fin has had the pleasure of a McTimoney Chiropractic treatment from Melissa. She was really thorough and treated my boy as an individual, listening to the minute cues he was giving her. At the end I had a very chilled horse and we also saw instant improvements in his stature. The following day was a rest day and when I started working him again I could feel the difference in his movement and balance. I would not hesitate to recommend Melissa and am going to build in a treatment every few months.

 

I have also had a couple of lessons with Melissa and learnt so much. She has an eye for detail (I couldn't hide my bad habits!) and a positive and supportive teaching approach that gets great results."

"Melissa is an inspirational coach. Due to the depth of her knowledge and her holistic approach to both horse and rider development and coaching, she is able to see the big picture in a way that most coaches are unable to do. Her combined academic, traditional work based and riding background gives her both the scientific knowledge, the riding and the linguistic capabilities to put her ideas forward in a way that is easily translated into commands that the horse can comprehend and execute.

She has helped me immensely over the years that I have known her, to grow both in confidence, competence and knowledge.

The added bonus that she can spot and treat any problem that your equine parnter has along the way is invaluable. She has kept my Grand Prix mare in tip top diva form for the past year and we are thoroughly looking forward to smashing it it competing in the forth coming season!"
