Living in town I rely on Leigh to exercise and train my horse when I'm not there. My horse has become increasingly responsive and supple under Leigh's training and guidance, this has been reflected in positive competition results.
He told me we would win
our rider class and we did." - Puchi Dunne, Bullengarook ARC |
