TESTIMONIALS

I have four horses in full livery at Thundry and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The horses are very well cared for and have an excellent routine and feeding program which ensures they are happy and content.
Christine has put a lot of work into fine tuning my riding and, as a result, we travelled down to Portugal earlier this year to compete in the Sunshine tour and even managed to gain a few placings and we had a great time!
As a company director, I need to know that my horses are cared for and ridden properly when I am not there. I can trust Christine and the team to do this which lets me put 100% focus into my work.

On arrival the yard was very clean and tidy and gave a good first impression. High standards of horse husbandry and training were apparent. This yard constantly performs above average. Continuous BHS approval is supported

Thundry Farm has been my life saver!, before coming to training with Christine, my riding was going down hill and my confidence was going rapidly. I first came to Thundry to do work experience, which I loved! The horses are all so happy and extremely well looked after. They have a good routine and Thundry has brilliant facility's to cater for their routines. Every one on the yard are also so friendly and happy. Christine is an amazing trainer, she listens to you , and helps you in every single way ! I have come on leaps and bounds with my horse and couldn't have done it without her! My dream is to keep showjumping and I know that the only person to help me get there is Christine. I recommend Thundry to any one who wants a chance at achieving their dreams! '

I don't think I have ever really thanked you enough for all the time and effort you have put in with me and my riding. I know that I can be incredibly difficult, coming every day for a week and then disappearing for a month. But I am SO thankful for all your help. I have really enjoyed all my lessons with you and I know that my riding has improved heaps. Hopefully after university I will have a chance to really get back into riding and competing again. Dad has promised that he will always continue to fund me when I can fully commit time wise.

Christine has done wonders for my confidence in just a few sessions. She actually listened to my concerns & then made positive and constructive comments on my riding. Rather than try to change me or my horse she has worked with us to improve what we can achieve as a partnership.

I first came to Thundry 5 years ago as a very green 39 year old who had spent only two years competing at riding club level. Since then I have had the unique opportunity to be in the correct show jumping environment at Thundry, surrounded by professional people who not only help your horse with its development, physical well being and careful feeding plan, but also possess a genuine desire to help amateur riders reach their full potential by having a structured training plan, coupled with attainable target goals and ongoing steady monitoring at all times which helps hardwire technique until it becomes second nature.
It is this special environment which has fast tracked me within the BSJA in such a short time to be able to jump confidently and competitively at 1.10 and enjoy the sport to its maximum while the 5 star attention given to my two horses has helped them through difficult times temperamentally, and physically speaking leaving me time to run a large company and even have a social life.

Without Christine I do not know where my riding would be! Christine has not only transformed the way that I ride, but the way my horse goes too. Christine sets out exercises that challenge, making both horse and rider think, therefore allowing the partnership and trust to flourish. The way Christine instructs means the aim of the lesson is accomplished by the end - then practiced at home and again with Christine until it becomes second nature. She ensures that I know 'why' I am doing an exercise or making a correction. She always asks me questions to ensure I understand. She is very thorough, concise, understanding and patient.
When I go to BSJA and walk the course, I always know "I can do this turn" or "this fence/approach needs to be ridden to like this...in order to be clear" because we have worked on it at Thundry. I KNOW I MUST HAVE A PLAN!
