I enjoyed this course very much! Trudi is a wonderful teacher and her obvious enjoyment of the subject matter makes the course even better. The lack of pressure and abundance of support made this course achievable and fun! I would take this course or any other course that Trudi conducts over and over! Can’t wait for the next one!

Thank you for a fantastic learning opportunity. The small group size allows for in depth discussion of behaviour and training, and is a supportive environment to share things with other like minded people. Trudi is a warm, encouraging and positive trainer, with a great eye for even the smallest detail, and a passion for passing on her knowledge. Thank you, I have loved every minute, and am sad that the course is over - I'll be back for more!

Trudi is kind, honest, supportive, and knowledgeable. She always has clips to share to explain things clearly along with presentations / diagrams / drawings. I felt motivated and inspired after every piece of feedback which has led to more learning and progress than I could have ever hoped for. Each time I went back out to train with more confidence and understanding. The reviewing of recorded videos is invaluable, from watching in slow motion to following other students different training plans.

I loved this course because I was able to tailor the training to suit my own circumstances, while still having structure and lots of learning opportunities. The community forum is great and having that safe space to share observations and discuss different training or behaviour related topics was really valuable - particularly given that a lot of us are working in isolation. But what took this course to the next level was Trudi. Her depth of experience and knowledge coupled with her humour, friendly approach and constructive feedback enabled me to get the most out of the training. She seemed to know exactly when to be kind and when to challenge which was fantastic. She is also incredibly generous with her time. She has made me think, question, revise and think again. I have a long way to go, but she has helped me to inch a bit further along that path towards becoming a better trainer. On a practical level, the training interface is really user-friendly and the forum became a real focus throughout the 8 weeks, helping to keep me motivated and engaged. Thank you so much.

Wow, attention to detail is Trudi's forte. I have really enjoyed the course, the learning environment has helped structure my training focus on clear and concise work, giving my horse much needed clarity. The only down side for me is that I would have loved the course to go on for longer and to have had more time to train and observe from the other learners.

This was my first course taken with Trudi and can honestly say was one of the best R+ courses I have participated in by far! As a trainer Trudi is practical, knowledgeable and very dedicated to teaching and helping us think outside the box. The time Trudi put into getting to know us all and our horses, her prompt responses to questions, our weekly feedback videos, and Zoom meetings was so very helpful in guiding us to be the best trainers we can be for our horses. Thank you Trudi!

The course was so much more than I imagined it would be. I learnt a lot and it really improved my relationship with my horse. Being in a group with like minded people really helps to absorb the information. Also there were opportunities to discuss things in the group and on the zoom calls, which was great. Trudi has a lovely down to earth teaching style and very supportive in feedback following the videos you submit and provides some great ideas. Thank you Trudi for the opportunity. Definitely be doing more courses with you.
