Making the move from ponies to horses can sometimes be challenging 🐴

However, I was absolutely delighted tonight with the progress being made by coaching client Millie and her beautiful horse Nicole (also known as Big Nic, NikNak or Nicola Sturgeon mood and day dependent)

The path of horses is rarely straightforward!

Patience, processes and consistency is key 🔑

Excited to see what the future brings for this pair 😊
