“Our daughter loves her sessions with Alice and the herd, whether they walk, poo pick, paint tails
or manicure hooves. Since starting horsemanship, she has learnt so much. When she started,
she was scared of horses and now she is calm and relaxed having learnt to listen to the herd
and how she can communicate her feelings to them too. Her knowledge of horse care is so
broad and her confidence has grown outside of the sessions too which has made the best
impact. The strategies Alice has taught her in the sessions, she applies to the outside world
which has given her a real boost. Our daughter always looks forward to her session and loves
the herd. Alice is patient, kind, calm and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend her and
the herd’s services.”

Therapeutic Horsemanship, parent

“I love the herd. My favourite thing to do is paint their tails and symbols on the horses. I like that
Alice is kind, she always listens and never asks me to do anything I’m not comfortable with.”

Therapeutic Horsemanship, age 10

“I have really enjoyed my time with Alice; it has been a great opportunity to connect with many
different horses and build an understanding of how their minds work, how to care for them and
ride them whilst giving full attention to their needs.”

Relational Horsemanship, age 12

“Our daughter has loved sessions with Alice and the horses over the last few years. She enjoys
caring for the horses and bonding with them, as well as riding them. She has found it really
interesting learning about the herd and how to interact with them and a big bonus is she gets to
spend good quality time outside with Alice and other friends too- so she gets a lot of different
positives from these sessions.”

Relational Horsemanship, parent

“Alice and the herd have taught me invaluable communication skills that I can use with every
horse I come across. I now feel confident in my ability to keep myself safe around horses, as
well as create a positive experience for both myself and the animal. Furthermore, the
therapeutic techniques that Alice endorses have stayed with me, helping me to ground myself
during stressful situations.”
