Feedback from the Horse Psychology Course Nov 2005

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the Horse Psychology weekend. This was my first IH course and I had no idea what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. A complex subject but I think the course was pitched at the right level and has given me encouragement to read more. I was also thrilled to meet such a variety of people too, who all share the same quest to put 'intelligence into horsemanship'. Krystyna Rogers

Dear Kelly,
Just to say how much I enjoyed the course, I have been full of it ever since, as Simon and Eamonn will testify! I thought it was very well run, with the right mix of student participation and teacher input and would only add that were you to tire of your present life (heaven forbid!) you would definitely make a a very good teacher. I have been doing plenty of that thinking about it afterwards that we talked about on the course, that's for sure.
I also enjoyed meeting the other students, such a lovely bunch of people, but then IH folk generally are, aren't they? Gaynor Renwick
