I can't thank you enough! I was about to give up on him but now I'm excited to ride every day. What I like the most about the way you've done things is the fact you listen to him and don't shout or get annoyed, you've always been calm and understanding.

I treat a few of the horses Tor teaches and the aftercare advice given to owners and Tor following any treatment is taken seriously by her as a coach and horses benefit from strengthening, elasticity and flexibility exercises which she works on showing an improvement over the few weeks in between each treatment. I work closely with Tor and the owners who update me with how the horse is performing and feedback given if there is an issue which arises during training

Less than a year ago I brought a new horse and immediately got lessons with an instructor as he was hot headed and sometimes hard to handle and we didn’t connect well. After months of lessons and being told to use spurs and sawing movements with my hands I felt like we weren’t getting anywhere together I was recommended trying Tor as an instructor by a friend. Within less then two lessons with Tor the Spurs were gone, my hands were still and Mali and I were working amazingly together slowly and steadily building a less forceful and aggressive contact and a more natural correct way of going. Mali and I are both a hell of a lot happier with the new exercises and methods Tor has taught us and we can’t wait to continue our learning experience with her. |

Tor has helped both my horses in such different ways. She has put my mind at total ease as my older semi retired horse Joy is living at her yard where she is looked after just as she was with me. She has all her needs met and more, any problems she's had (like falling over in the field and hurting her fetlock) were treated with compassion and knowledge. I was informed immediately and Joy was kept quiet until the vet arrived. I don't worry about her at all.
My younger horse Bella is just starting her education, I imported her from Ireland after viewing a YouTube video and I couldn't have ever considered doing this without Tor being there to guide me. Tor rides Bella once a week for me and we're hoping to take her to jumping competitions soon. She did her first hack out with Tor a few weeks ago which I couldn't have done alone. She has all the time and patience Bella needs, she is confident yet comforting and we both are coming on leaps and bounds under her guidance.
Tor's help with our jumping and flatwork has been invaluable and my confidence is soaring. Tor's clinics have also been the best value for money lessons we've ever had. We both improve so much by the end of the session and have clear goals for at home. She's always there to talk to if I'm having problems. As an instructor I couldn't ask for more. She's patient, knowledgeable, confident and so down to earth. She really listens to your problems and understands a horses psyche as much as a riders. All in all 10/10!

Tor has done a fab job with me and Barney, going back to basics has allowed me to balance Barney and stop him being the strong, unruly tank that he was. I can now jump Barney with the same steady rhythm in the take off as the landing without worrying that I'm going to get my arms pulled out of their sockets. Barney is now so much more pleasant to ride and works much more correctly after only a few months with Tor, I can even work him on a long and low contact which I never thought I'd be able to do! I always knew there was the potential in Barney somewhere, I just needed Tor to help me bring it out! Thank you Tor!
