Testimonials

"I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you have done with Monty. I have held off contacting you before now as I am a very superstitious person and felt that as soon as I had told you he was wonderful he would do something bad.

However, time is getting on and it would be very rude of me not to get in touch now.  I kid you not - the "golden one"  hasn't put a foot wrong.  My friends are all totally bored with him now and have given up waiting for the tantrums etc.

Thanks again. You are stars."

"Thanks so much for taking me out for a hack yesterday, think it was the best thing ever for me. You are so awesome and so is Harry and apart from paying my account lol I have no way to ever pay back what you two have done for me and for Toby for that matter.

I am going to get years of doing something I've loved since I was kid .. the love has always been there, the confidence not so much lol. Even that one ride yesterday has made a huge difference, so thank you thank you thank you."

Tracy Ritchie and Toby

"I owe you so much more than words can possibly say Karen. For all your kindness, expertise, advice. Not to mention all the extra help and support that you so readily gave, even long after you had waved us ‘goodbye’ as we disappeared down the drive at the end of Dak’s stay.

I still miss you guys terribly, and the giggles we always managed to squeeze in between the ‘real work’. It was also terrific that at Brookby Heights we are able to be alongside the training process and able to learn alongside our horses the things we need to take away with us. I will be singing your praises Karen (and those of your wonderful team also) for evermore, and once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Libby and Dakota

"In November 05 I bred to Mighty Heights (MH). The result was a stunning filly foal (Meg) and she been the most delightful animal to handle, very laid back and very friendly. She has been easy to teach the basics and to break in. I am happy to say she is a stamp of her father and I would like to breed another MH foal in the future. Karen was always available throughout the mares pregnancy and is always willing to answer any questions I have. Meg is currently grazing at Karen's stud and it is reassuring with her vast knowledge that meg is in the very best place for advancing her education."
