“The Bentley technique is so easy and different to any training I have ever come across and I believe it will revolutionise training in the future. It has resolved so many issues for me in an uncanny “magic wand” kind of way. It gives the most careful consideration to all the different factors involved in crookedness, it then  shows you through simple exercises how by “unfixing” rather than “fixing” horse and rider,  crookedness gradually crystallizes out more and more up to a point where it dissolves and solves itself.”
Andy Ford a Kent and Surrey-based trainer. His eventing pupils have competed at Burghley, Badminton and Boekolo, and he also teaches F.E.I and pony dressage clients. "

Hi Joni, just thought I would let you know we had a very interesting session after our mounted clinic with you. Both Andy my trainer as you know rode on your clinic and myself found it very enlightening.

We were both very surprised and convinced by what we saw. Andy  could see the  difference in Ginella was  remarkable.   The canter was very much better, strike offs correct on both sides and I particularly felt a difference in the left canter when she went around the short side of the arena, I really felt it engage.

The biggest difference though, and the one that amazes me most is the difference in the way she is carrying her head. Previously, she held it very high and tight back into the wither, with her nose tucked in like a lot of Iberians do. I always found it very difficult to get her to stretch forwards and down. The other problem we had previous to your clinic was that she was always tossing her head, particularly towards the end of the session as she got more tired. Now, after about 2 or 3 minutes in trot, she is seeking the rein downward, and in the canter she almost had her head on the floor at some points, which was marvellous. I also felt that the canter, although still nice and forward was rather less of a romp along and I felt a bit more in control of it today. The other thing is that she did not toss her head once, and has not done so since Sunday.

Andy was actually very impressed by the difference, and he got on Ginella for a quick go so I could see how she looks from behind. By this time of course she had actually straightened up considerably so he didn't have too much work to do on her. He has said that he is very interested in learning more about your training method.
