I am privilaged to have regular lessons with Paul. His calm, friendly and patient approach with attention to detail, both of myself and my horse have inspired and motivated me. He understands my horse and which approach she needs to develop her best qualities and iron out her faults. I really look forward to my lessons and after each session always feel we have accomplished a little bit more than the time before.

If you're looking for an easy time, short cuts and compromises, go elsewhere. Paul's teaching is hard work, exacting and very thorough; but he's also unfailingly encouraging, endlessly patient and always focuses on the positive. He doesn't place unrealistic demands on horse or rider, but is demanding enough to make his lessons stimulating and always productive.

I've been training with Paul for about 9 months now, and have noticed a significant improvement in mine and Mango's performance.

We won the local riding club unaffiliated novice league this year, having won four out of six novice tests in the league, and coming second in the other two, which I am absolutely thrilled with! Mango is a 10 year old registered Knabstrupper gelding, a very old breed from Denmark, which nearly died out a few decades ago, but are now enjoying more recognition and a revival. I had never competed in dressage before I had him, but he has such lovely paces, I thought I would give it a try. I imported him from his native Denmark as a 5 year old, he was a birthday present from my husband (bought unseen from a photo on the internet), and has turned out best present I think I will ever have! We haven't been totally without problems, Mango liked to buck in the early days, and I haven't had huge amounts of time to devote to his training due to work and children. Now that my children are older, I have started competing at affiliated dressage, gaining a score of 66.8% and second place in my second outing. I owe a lot of my success this year to Paul and his training methods, thanks Paul! Janet.
