Cleome is not the easiest horse to deal with as she is a very sensitive mare with major head issues. At times you can not even put a bridle on her and Emma has such patience with her and slowly works away and by the end of the treatment, Cleo is so relaxed.
It is a true loss to the horse world with Emma moving to Singapore. I know Cleome and I and many others with be struggling without her to treat our horse and riders.
Emma has a lovely confident but quiet manner when working with the horses and is easy to communicate with when explaining the issues we may be having.
Emma has great skills and understanding and due to that we have seen horses improve and amazing results, I can 100% recommend her services.
