What do our clients think?
-
Michelle is fantastic! She has been teaching my children for 4 years and they have developed into confident and capable riders. Michelle is calm, patient and makes learning to ride fun. She is also brilliant with adults and has taught my husband and a close friend to ride from complete novice.
-
Tom is a 17 years old 17.2hh warmblood retired BSJA showjumper. He’s had a few falls and sprains while competing and at home. He was frequently lame but no one could put their finger on his problem. Michelle carried out a course of therapy and Tom has been fine ever since. She is knowledgeable, confident and practical – I have no reservations in recommending Cheshire Equine Therapy.
