Professional Testimonials
Horse care is a team effort. Here are some testimonials from equine professionals I’ve been able to share that effort with.
Carlos Tabernaberri, Whispering Acres Horse Starting and Training
“As a horse trainer and educator I conduct over 36 clinics each year meeting hundreds of horses and people. It is my duty to educate the human as much as possible and share what I know. The horse knows it all, we don’t, so here the need for broader education for us all. If we listen to our horses, they educate us first. I believe good education is beyond doing circles, Piaffe, rollbacks, changes of leads etc.
“During one of my clinics I had the pleasure of having Jane do a talk and demonstration during my clinic. Bodywork, bio-mechanics and saddle fitting are often neglected areas and misunderstood subjects. There is a lot more for the well being of the horse than just how to do manoeuvres and having the right seat. You have to have the right team.
“Jane’s clarity, knowledge and understanding of the horse, and her work, speaks volumes, not to mention the great results she achieves while treating them. I am happy to recommend Jane to anyone who wishes to have a better moving horse, which would be an asset to ground and ridden work for any owner and any trainer sensible enough to see the benefits of this kind of work.
“If I wasn’t based in Victoria but NSW instead, not only would I be recommending Jane to do my clients horses, but maintenance on my own horses too.”
Graeme Aitkens, Aitkens Saddlery, Brisbane
“Jane assists our team at Aitken’s Saddlery by providing saddle fitting services in Northern NSW. We equip her with a good selection of saddles and this compliments her bodywork therapy, enabling her to provide a complete service to her clients.
“I admire Jane’s experience and knowledge of the horse’s anatomy and biomechanics, which is highly beneficial to good saddle fitting. Her ability to apply the finer points involved in ensuring good balance between horse and rider when saddle fitting is admirable and encourages a better environment for our horse industry.
“She is an honest colleague who is constantly striving to build on her knowledge and skills in all areas of her work. She aims for and demonstrates similar standards and follows the same philosophies in fitting saddles (maximising welfare, comfort and success for horse and rider) as our team here at Aitken’s Saddlery.”
Oliver Liyou, BVSc (Hons1) MANZCVSc (Eq Dent) CMAVA
“I have known Jane for over 7 years as a horse health professional and have witnessed her dedication and professionalism in working on horses and assisting owners to care for and help their horses. As we all know, horses often do express themselves – either subtly or obviously – when in pain or discomfort.
“Jane helps owners to detect and treat many of these issues, such as saddle fit, back soreness etc. She also helps to direct horse owners to seek help from other professionals if she cannot help in that area. I wish Jane well in her career and thank her for her hard work in helping horses in need!”
