Training

I appreciate that working with Shah is not an easy job and I admire Sue for her patience and knowledge of working through our issues.

Sue was excellent from the start, helping me work on his behaviour thoroughly from the ground before we progressed with our ridden work. She was never scared of Shah's tantrums, rearing, biting and barging.

Unfortunately he has very deep scars and will never be the 'perfect horse' but I'm very pleased to say that all the old negative baggage has now gone and I feel confident enough to handle him in all situations.

My vet recommended Sue Gardner to me.

The first few lessons we had were on the ground and Sue soon had us working with poles. I could have cried when I realised just how terrified Treasure was of touching one of these monstrosities and what I, in my ignorance must have put her through.

Treasure and I now have an unbreakable bond. I hack out mostly in a rope halter much to the amazement of my friends and passers by.

I will always be grateful for what Sue has given us all.
