Customer Testimonials
Kathryn Ogilvie BHSAI, Ayrshire
"Not only is Jane Penfold the lady from whom I purchased a superbly schooled and contented horse, she has become a constant source of advice, information and dressage training.
From our first meeting I was impressed by Jane's equine knowledge and quiet, professional manner around horses. Her progressive and thorough training methods produce, time and again, horses that are a delight to ride and own.
Very quickly after purchasing a handsome chestnut gelding from her and booking as many training sessions with her as I could, I found myself moving successfully through the dressage levels from Preliminary to Elementary and am now considering attempting Medium.
Jane's dedication and commitment to her horses' training and well-being, and her patience and perseverance with her pupils produce the results we all seek. I wish Jane continued success and my thanks for all her assistance."

" I have had the pleasure to work with Jane at the same stable for a couple of months where I have experienced Janes' teaching and training methods.
Jane has all the teaching skills a horse & rider require at all levels. Jane has dedicated her life to study and practise the need of the "dressage" combination to bring out the best of both of them.
Jane is serious, professional, committed, logical and passionate. She possesses great teaching and training skills and has a superb eye for technique. Jane looks and explains and oversees details like a teacher should.
Her passion is to get the best out of a horse and rider within their respective boundaries.
I fully trust and recommend Jane in the care and training of horses, even with my own."
Nigel Shaw, Somerset
"Coming from a racing background, dressage has not been that high on my list of priorities except for using it to help balance racehorses and give them something completely different to think about. But I have always found Jane's instructions on dressage to be clear and understandable especially when some of it is more like a foreign language at times.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Jane to either a beginner or an experienced dressage rider as she certainly has the ability to always leave you with a feel-good factor whatever your level of riding is and to assist you in raising your own standards."
Carole Sweeney, Surrey
"Jane is such a knowledgeable horsewoman and a great communicator. Her unique teaching style and amazing passion for horses offer deep insights into you and your horse, whatever stage you are at, and help take you to the next level."
Suzanne Gilmour, Kingston, London
"Jane has a holistic approach to each lesson, looking at both horse and rider, discussing classical riding concepts, passing on what she had experienced in other countries, and encouraging us to read to widen our knowledge. Jane is remembered for the way in which she got the most out of every rider and horse in her calm, intelligent and humorous manner."
"..would be delighted to have the benefit of your teaching again. I felt I learned so much...having mutual respect is the key.."
