Success Stories from Riders Like You
"A Happier Horse!"
After years of struggling with my horse’s rearing, I was ready to give up. But after just three sessions with Jody, we’re finally making progress! Her methods are a game-changer
– Minon - France
"No More Trailering Issues"
Trailer loading used to be a nightmare, but now my horse walks right in. I wish I’d started this program sooner.
- Jane F
"Bridling Woes Be Gone!"
My gelding had always been impossible to bridle—he’d toss his head, back away, and make it a daily struggle. I didn’t think anything could help. Jody introduced me to clicker training, and within a few sessions, he started lowering his head willingly and accepting the bridle calmly. It felt like magic, but it was all about understanding how he learns. I couldn’t be happier!"
