Mel Stimpson, Horse Owner - "Liked the mix of practical, anatomical analysis and DVD - good way to break up the day. Brilliant informative day - Thanks Lotty"

Pat Green and Carol Dadswell, Horse Owners -
"Very Friendly and Informative, good information on others subjects e.g. Hooves etc"

Angela Ricards, EBT - "Enjoyed the informative day"

Sally Eccles, Horse Owner - "It was good to practice on our own horses"

Andrea Planchant, EBT - "Very useful course, good stretches to incorporate in my Bowen treatments and to give to my clients where required"

Julie Maconochie, Horse Owner - "Thoroughly enjoyed the day with a small friendly bunch of people. Really think it will help Bloss a lot with her stiffness and help her to work forwards. She seemed to enjoy it too especially the carrot stretches!! I look forward to working and bonding with her further. Your knowledge and enthusiasm was inspiring to me as a novice owner and the  booklet will be with me daily for easy reference.  Thank you so much for letting me bring her. You should add a box on your feedback of: "value for money" I would have answered excellent to that too."

Sarah Minton, Horse Owner - "This was an excellent course, which gave me lots of interesting and enjoyable ideas to help my older horse to remain flexible,  and prolong the time that we can enjoy riding together."

Jill Ellis, Travelling Head Girl - "Found the day very interesting and am looking forward to practising all I have learnt."

Suzanne Ruddle EBT - "This is just the course I need right now. I feel that everything I have learnt today will complement my Equine Bowen practice."

Lindsay Cotterell DAEP - "Working as a DAEP we always try to implement in our visit the term often referred to within AEP (Applied Equine Podiatry) as Whole Horse Hoof Care.  I find when a horse transitions to performing shoeless that the years of being shod have impacted on posture and physical performance as well as psychologically for both horse and rider.  Lotty's Equine Stretch Course at the College of Equine Studies is invaluable and a lot of fun for any owner that wants to implement whole horse hoof care into their programme of transition.  It's a way of further helping your horse both physically and emotionally and Lotty can offer so much help and explanation on functional anatomy that I can't recommend it highly enough.  As a DAEP to be able to work towards helping a horse become more relaxed and comfortable during a visit is paramount and relies on team work and a holistic approach, and I'm looking forward to my next course at Rose Farm College of Equine Studies."

Chris Cook, Horse Owner – “A very good day which was also tailored to us the group and our specific horse’s needs. As Lotty already treats both our two (Jester & Bailey) a lot of the content was tweaked to be more relevant. I would have liked to have Jester to practice on, but the horses we stretched were a good mixture of size and style, and all very willing! I really like Lotty’s style in dealing with horses and took a lot from watching her lunging Neo with the different techniques she had told me to use on Jester. This is an example of the personal content as it always helps to see what is said or illustrated on paper acted out by a pro. From doing the stretches, and other training that Lotty advised previously, I am seeing a massive difference in Jester after a matter of months. I would recommend this stretch course and Lotty as a Therapist to any horse owner whether their horse is lame or sound. She will improve every aspect of your horse and make both you and your horse happier and closer.”

Norman Hyatt EBT - I really enjoyed the day and learnt so much more about stretching exercises, and will certainly be using them myself on my horses and recommending all my clients use them as well.

Karen Wiltshire EBT - I  am really interested in how we can bring horses back into work & how to keep them supple, as I feel being a Bowen practitioner isn't just about treating the pony, so this course has really helped my development.  Thank you for a great day.

Emily Ceurvorst - I found the day really interesting as I would like to be a horse physio, and I think I will enjoy working through the stretches with my horse.

Nicky West - VERY GOOD, I will definitely use the stretches on my horses.

Sarah Hane - Very good & enjoyable, you certainly know your stuff.  Thanks.
