Morgan,
I can’t thank you enough for the great job you did on training my horse,
Kricket.
I was very pleased and amazed with the transformation when I picked her up, and still pleased that several days later she is still behaving properly.
When I sent her to you for training, she was very disrespectful, rearing and running over you to get where she wanted to go. She ran people out of her stall, she reared and struck out at the farrier or tried to lay down on him. If you walked in the pasture with her you risked getting kicked as she ran past you and kicked out. If you tried to brush her or pick up her feet she was always trying to nip or just go where she wanted. In general, she was impossible to deal with and unsafe.
When I came to pick her up after training, I went in to the field with her and she came up to me and lowered her head to be scratched. She no longer had the mischievous look in her eye. During our training lesson, I could see how she was focused on you and trying to please. She was a joy to ride and I couldn’t believe she was the same horse.
 When we got home, I rode her in my ring and she behaved beautifully, cantering and trotting and stopping perfectly. When I was leading her back to the barn, my other horse galloped along the fence bucking and kicking, I was worried about Kricket’s reaction, but she walked quietly beside me into the barn where I unsaddled her and she focused on me instead of her pasture mates outside. If this had happened before training she would have reared and tried to get away from me.
So I thank you again for the amazing job you did with Kricket, and would highly recommend you. I urge other horse owners who may have a difficult horse, to send them to you for training so that they too can enjoy their horse as much as I am now enjoying mine.
