Jumping - Yes I Can

Feedback from Yes I Can Jump Clinics:

Cheski approaches riding in such a no-nonsense, sensical way. Both horse and rider feel comfortable and capable and as a result people do more than they think they can! It's so relaxed and friendly. Never at any time do you feel under pressure. In today's clinic we confronted our issues and came away with the key to overcoming our problem of spooky obstacles - it's all in the warm up!

For a new combination the clinic is great to get going and trusting each other. Deals with your/your horse's issues in a way that develop skills for both you and your horse. I achieved more with my horse today than I anticipated.

Cheski is the best coach I've come across. Great at confidence building. I learnt that everyone has the same fears and problems and that riding can be enjoyable after all.

Had a wonderful time yesterday on Muppet, was really pleased with how he settled down around the other horses. Great confidence boost to find out that my much loved boy is good in company and jumping with other horses. Getting a comfortable canter into the jump was neat, now I cant wait to try it out at home.

The instruction was spot on, Mupps was doing things in one session we haven’t been able to sort ourselves in 6 months. I was only hoping to learn to canter into fences but now have a whole new range of tools to use on the flat as well as jumping.

Again thanks for your instruction and insight”

Hi Cheski
Thanks for a great morning. I really enjoyed the clinic. It was really what I needed as like I said, I hadn’t jumped for a while and was beginning to build it up into something bigger than it really was.
Danny can go so well and it is frustrating that he can then go not so great, but I guess at the end of the day, they are animals and not machines!!!!
Thanks again

thank you cheski - you are tremendous - i like your positive approach to teaching - i was expecting to learn a lot but i didn't think that would mean i would immediately improve a lot yet i think i did improve so you are amazing. its one thing reading it in a book but the information kind of goes into one side of the head and then sinks to i don't know where but its never there when you need it. its another thing having someone like you to tell me, as i'm riding, want i need to do and what needs to happen and also to get me involved in the analysing process of what was happening and what needs to happen because of that i felt there was a huge improvement and what i learnt from you has not strayed off somewhere its still very much to the fore-front of my mind - so it was an invaluable class especially at my early stage of riding because its so easy to develop bad habits and so painfully difficult to cure - more so at my age - i will apply to do the blyth tait session on sunday 22nd.

i woke up this morning going over the session in my head - it was a real power session - i'm sure patrick even has a smile on his face this morning -
best regards
