Feedback from workshops:
Hi Davina, I just wanted to drop you a line to say a big THANK YOU for your talk last week. I had no idea there was so much to know about saddles, girths and numnah’s! It really was fascinating and has kept people talking for days. We were so enthralled we went straight home & read all through your hand- outs, which I have to say were also very comprehensive and easy to understand. The practical demonstrations really helped to consolidate the theory into the practice as well. Pinner Riding Club
Hi Davina, Thank you very much for your time on Saturday, had lots of good feedback from some of those who attended. It was very informative and provided many of us (including me) with some new insights that I certainly had never even thought of. Great Missenden Riding Club
