As a little girl I used to think that I wasn’t lucky enough, because I couldn’t have my own horse. But soon I’ve realised that I was the luckiest person in the world, because actually, I could have hundreds of them. Every single school horse that I’ve ridden, every single horse of my clients that I’ve trained, every single horse that I have started or helped to train, to brush, to clean his box,… taught me at least one precious lesson. And now I’d love to share them with you!
