Sandy's Horse Training Clinic Testimonials

 

Hello Sandy,
I just wanted to send you a note of HUGE Thank Yous! for putting a wonderful clinic at Fresno State in January. With that being my first clinic, it was very intimidating but extremely educational. I found (and already knew) I tended to make a mountain out of a mole hill but didn't have the correct tools to do any different. But the things I learned at the clinic, and thank goodness are also in your book, were sort of ah-ha moments and the light has started to come on. I am hoping my horse and I can now become a much more productive partnership. Thank you again. It was a privilege and an honor to be able to ride under your superior guidance.

Taker care,

Sandy,
I wanted to thank you for an awesome clinic. I cannot believe the response I am getting with this filly. There were a lot of things that finally sank into my head when you were here. Your motivation really works for me as a student. I really appreciate you coming to the east coast to do this clinic. There was not a person there that did not learn something.
Thank you

Sandy,
I was at Dom's in PA watching your clinic a couple months ago because it was full I did not bring a horse. He was kind enough to let me watch. I just want to tell you that 35 years of trainers and lessons (they have been good--they made me who I am this far) but, those two days watching you and the people you where helping--seeing it work through them was the biggest boost I have had in my life. I came home and my program didn't change but was improved ten fold.

When I get up at least four of my mornings start out with me eating breakfast to one of your DVD's before I go up to the barn to start my day. I am not a trainer; I am an amateur who trains my own horses. My western pleasure horses are going better with your DVD's My young  have such a better feel, and the one's I am starting understand it quicker because I know how to communicate it better. Thanks you so much for taking the time to spend with me. If you are ever within a 200 mile drive giving a clinic please let me know I would love to bring a horse.

"Sandy did an excellent job at teaching to all levels. She was able to explain, in broad terms, the basics for beginners and pinpoint tiny corrections for the more experienced riders."

Sandy,
I wanted to take a minute and thank you for another GREAT clinic. We have had you coming to Utah for a clinic for the past five years. Your clinic just keeps getting better every year. You have a style that fits so many people, from the novice of novice to the open trainer. You truly have the ability to wear out twelve riders with your never ending style. All our riders from the clinic want to know when you will be returning. We had you for three days this year and that still isn't enough. You have helped Britney and myself so much again thank you for your GREAT ability to teach and your friendship.

Sandy,
Thank you so much for the fun clinic!  I haven't laughed that much in a long time and learned so much at the same time.  We really enjoyed meeting everyone, what a funny group!  I have been to a few clinics ( although not a clinic slut ) and walked away really discouraged.  Once, I even thought about selling the horses and buying parakeets to raise for fun and profit.  You are a really great clinician.  Not only did you teach in a positive way, but you encourage participants to "think outside of the box".  The most important part though, is that I walked away INSPIRED to do better and try harder.  I can't wait to go out and ride today!

Sandy,
I really appreciated working with you this weekend and was impressed by not only what you told me but by how you helped everyone else, too.  Thank you for working with both horses  and helping me be confident about how to school both of them. Pete has always said you were not only a great horseman, but a great teacher, and I definitely agree. 

Thanks again.
