That's how it began

It's me

It all started with the purchase of my current horse. He was 17 years old at the time, so everyone assumed he was already well-trained. That was a mistake, though. I've worked with horses for years, but he was a completely different beast. His predecessor wasn't easy either, but I could handle him well with my limited knowledge at the time. My current horse was considerably more difficult. At first, I thought I'd gotten the wrong horse. It was anything but pleasant or enjoyable, as he was neither easy to handle on the ground nor in the saddle. I eventually got him to the point where he was incredibly well-behaved on the ground. Riding was a different story. But I'm grateful to him; thanks to him, I was able to overcome many obstacles and problems and learn an incredible amount. And I'm still learning from him, even though he's become a real treasure, both on the ground and in the saddle.

On top of that, I'm currently training a young mare who hasn't been properly trained; it's the typical "saddle on and off" approach. The main thing is that the mare can be sold for a good price, without any consideration for the consequences for the next owner. The mare barely knew the basics of being a foal, just enough to be haltered and led. I ran into the owner by chance at my stable, where she asked for my help. She'd seen how I work with my horse and hoped I could help her with the young mare. And I did. With a lot of work and effort, the owner and I finally managed to get her back on the right track. The owner is overjoyed that she can now work with her on the ground without fear.

"I met Michelle quite by chance after buying my first horse. I was extremely desperate with my young horse at the time. Although I had some experience with horses, the mare pushed me to my limits and made me feel insecure. Luckily, I found Michelle then. She not only took care of my horse five times a week and worked wonders (for example, the mare used to rear when I picked up her hooves, now she handles them easily with all four), but she also looked after me and my fears and insecurities. She helped me find a new mindset and, whenever one approach didn't work, taught herself another to perfectly adapt her training to me and my horse. All in all, she's the best thing that's ever happened to both of us, and I wholeheartedly recommend her as a trainer to anyone."
