We were very happy this weekend to host the final clinic of the year for Kate Sandel of Soft and Sound
It was a truly wonderful experience to be able to not only take part, but to watch Kate’s brilliant teaching and to hear the knowledge and guidance that she shared with her students and their horses.
Kate teaches in the Philippe Karl French Classical School of Lightness which has been transformational for myself and my 16yr old Friesan mare. Kate’s approach is always honest, supportive and encouraging. Through her teaching and advice I have found a path to increase my own self awareness and assurance around my horses. I now believe in myself and my horses notice. My mare and I have had many challenges but through them all Kate has been a guiding light with her approach to finding answers to the questions I was asking my horses.
This weekend was absolutely magical for me. I felt that Manni and I were a true partnership, and our progress is down to the teachings of Kate.
To not only host this clinic, but to take part has been a joy from the first horse arriving to the last stable being cleaned out at the end of the second day!
As always, I am so grateful to Kate for choosing us as a venue, but also , to the wonderful guests, both horse and human, we loved having you here💕
Above all though, it is my gratitude to Kate that takes top place here, for her brilliant teaching , her unending enthusiasm for all things equine and her absolute dedication to all her students, both human and equine.
