A lovely review I received from Bella’s owner;
I contacted Nicola in desperation as I really had been down every avenue I could think of with Bella. Bella who was 7 at the time was terrified of the world and would have what I could only describe as full on panic attacks. I bred her and know she has never had anything bad happen to her. She would rear, go backwards, drip with sweat and shake. In her stable she would jump out of her skin every time you approached her. She had every scan and investigation physically that was possible. Nicola came to see her for the first time last summer. I was absolutely fascinated to see her working with Bella and see Bella start to relax. Throughout this Nicola was fully explaining what she was doing so I could continue with it myself. When I started doing what Nicola had taught me it was amazing to see the stretches Bella would start doing as she relaxed. It took a while but the difference in her has been amazing. From a horse that quite often wouldn’t leave the yard even in company to one that I can hack literally anywhere on my own. Nicola fully explained what she was seeing in Bella and it was enlightening for me. She has changed Bella’s life totally and taught me a horse owner for more than 50 years they there is always so much still to learn
