What
our clients think
"Charmaine
has an instinctive understanding of the horse and is a natural at
communicating with them at all levels. I have witnessed her gain
the trust of unconfident horses and also seen her manage and control
aggression and negative behaviour. Her care and knowledge of the
horse is second to none. It is a comfort to know that when you leave
your horse in her care, you can fully trust that the service that
she tells you she will provide, will be given." -

"Charmaine
looked after my horse for 3 years. Her work was always to the highest
standard and she has the rare gift of dealing with everything in
a professional and friendly manner." - Joyce Davidson
