I first came across Mohegan Equestrian Centre on the internet while trying to find a trainer for myself and a TB mare that I was re-educating for a friend. I had gotten myself to a point I had no idea how to get past – simply trying to achieve the correct leg on a canter transition. I emailed Karen with my problem and she suggested I come out for a lesson. Well after doing some exercises aimed at getting myself and the mare to relax we were suddenly able to canter on a loose rein in both directions!! Since then I have had the pleasure in watching my friend take this mare to C grade Pony Club events and do really well – which I know wouldn’t have been able to happen without Karen’s insight.

Since then I have brought many horses to Karen for help. Latest is my gelding who I purchased as a yearling. Karen gave me the guidelines and has been there every step of the way to help me, encourage me and correct me when I go wrong. We have achieved a lot together and it has been the most wonderful experience.

I can truly say that if I hadn’t met Karen and been introduced to her methods I wouldn’t be the horsewoman I am today. Karen has way of explaining things to you that make sense and are easy to follow. She is more than just a trainer. She is a friend, a confidant, a shoulder when things get hard and my mentor. When I grow up I want to be just like her!!
