I am 65 and have been with many trainers and had many, many lessons. So it is a really impressive to me that Nessa still manages to come up with new things to teach me on a regular basis. She’s very good at conveying what she expects and wants you to do and she’s open to questions. I can say categorically my jumping and flat work have both improved under her supervision and I look forward to adding dressage to the mix in future!
I got to know Nessa when I started half leasing one of her horses. It was a great experience. The horse was talented and jumped well and I really enjoyed riding her. Eventually, I decided I wanted to buy my own horse and Nessa took me shopping. It was a great experience. She knew the market. She knew the values and when we found the right horse, she gave me excellent advice regarding some medical issues. She also worked on my behalf throughout the purchase process.
I have been absolutely delighted with the horse so I can’t recommend her enough.
