Just wanted to let you know that Lindsay and Amelie absolutely loved their lesson with you and Anita on Friday. They chattered on and on all the way home about how great it was! Both of you have a terrific rapport with the young, inexperienced riders.
We are very much looking forward to next Friday at 4:00

It was an amazing day, space, experience and the team is already letting me know how much they enjoyed the day. Thanks for making all the arrangements and being such a gifted teacher and facilitator.
The whole group really enjoyed the experience and felt it really honed their ability to be present and to observe and respond more directly rather than respond through preset ideas.

I just wanted to thank you so much for your book! We talked at your booth and, in very short order, you figured out that my horse was a Reluctant Rock Star. I bought your book and, after running through the personality quiz, I confirmed that you called it right. I am amazed at how accurate your description of him is.
I incorporated a lot more praise in my ride today and had a really great ride. He sure likes to have his ego stroked!
Thanks for coming to the Mane Event, and best of luck with all your endeavors.

March 14th - Lethbridge Dressage Club-Talk & Demo "Personality Typing Your Horse" |

Very interesting to watch and learn. It was fun stereotyping our own horses based on the information Dessa shared. I am glad I attended and found Dessa a pleasure to listen to...very approachable and knowledgeable.

Excellent workshop! Great balance of theoretical and practical. I loved the demos and the interaction between Dessa and the participants as we analyzed each horse. I wish we could of used my horse. I really liked your groundwork demo with horse no. 6. |

Had some friends over for dinner last night and we were
playing with your book. It was bang on with every horse we tested it
to! I hadn't had the opportunity to read through it previously but we
were so impressed that I bought 6 copies this morning. Bob Williams (see www.polarpintabians.com)
and I are thinking about making it a mandatory test for compatibility
before selling horses.
Thanks again for all your hard work, it's certainly paid off!!!!

I signed up for a clinic on horse personalities without any
preconception about this topic or the presenter herself. It was said to
me that “she has a cool way of describing your horse’s personality”.
Right from the introduction I knew that there was a lot more to this
ladies approach. Dessa was continually coming up with great ideas
for each individual and she has a fabulous approach to horsemanship. She
was able to get you to look at your horse in a different light to see
their unique personality, likes and dislikes - do they want to be touched
or are they just comfortable to be with you? It was fantastic how
she showed all of us that there was never a bad trait or personality
but just a different approach on how to work with it. I was amazed
at how the horses in the clinic were so different from each other which
only substantiated her approach all the more. Immediately following
the clinic I bought her book, came home and opened the pages to find
out more about my horse and her personality. I will be riding with
a new educated way by understanding her distinctive character in the
years ahead. This new found skill will most certainly be added
to my repertoire when I go to purchase a new horse in the future.
Thank you Dessa!

I saw her at the HHH conference and her methods for training horses
based on their personality traits is sound. It is also really cool to
see how to tell what your horse is (personality wise) and how each type
respond to the different methods and different human personalities.
Riders and horses welcome
