Delighted owner Jane Whaley with her beautiful BWBS mare Westpoint Freya

  Jane bought Westpoint Freya (Fulton (DV) / Leonardo II (DV) / Luxemburg (Hann))  as a three year-old from breeder Edward Evans of the Westpoint Stud in Shropshire and has kept her at Centre Lines with Carrie ever since.

At the BWBS (British Warm-Blood Society) Mare Grading in 2000 Freya was graded into their  Select Stud Book, awarded a prestigious Gold Medal and was also made the Mare Grading Supreme Champion that year.

It was a real team effort and we were all very proud.

"I have known and had lessons from Carrie for approximately 18 years.

In that time she has always impressed me with her intuitive ability to assess horses and riders at any level.

Her excellent communication skills help her to deliver clear and concise instruction that is always beneficial, and gives you the confidence to develop further in your own time."

" I never thought a horse could change so much. Carrie has a unique ability to get the very best from the horse, then has the terrible task of making the rider/owner try and understand and teach us how to treat our horses, to communicate effectively and form a partnership, which she does so patiently.

"Carrie came highly recommended and I haven't been disappointed!

My first lesson learnt was with regards to the degree of control that I had with my horse from the ground, (or lack of it!) and how much this linked with ridden control. This was an approach from a trainer that I had never come across before, and has probably, to this day, had the biggest positive effect on the relationship I have with my horse.

Carrie's explanations are clear and concise about the overall structured long term training plan, of working the horse and rider together, ensuring the importance of the correct scales of training.  Her flexible training technique ensures that she can adjust sessions as necessary to meet the needs of both horse and rider as required on any given day."

After initially visiting Carrie and her yard, I was very impressed with her honesty, the relaxed atomosphere and excellent training facilities. I thought this made for the perfect environment for Brecks to learn in.

'' I have only just started my training with Carrie and already I am reaping the rewards after only a few sessions. The results speak for themselves as
after only one session my horse Alfie Moon recorded his best score to date with 68.5% at affiliated Novice, prior to this we were struggling to get a respectable score at this level.

Carries quiet and calm approach suits both myself and my horse and she has not only focused on my horses way of going, but also the effect I have as a rider. I now have a better knowledge and understanding to hopefully progress further in the future.

In the past I have dreaded training sessions whereas now I really look forward to them!!  Thanks Carrie!!''
