TESTIMONIALS
Anke Hawke you forgot to add your compassion and empathy for the rider 😊 your coaching style has enabled me to drop my expectations, get out of my head and focus on the horse. A lovely mindful, confidence building experience
Tash Robinson
I am so amazed with Anke’s eye to find something that needs some adjustment- we do a little tweak here and little tweak there and WOW 🤩 Lennie feels so much better. His wither has come up and croup is lower - not bad to get this on a quarter horse. If you are looking for your training to be a little different, as slower and not pounding your horse around the arena, then give Anke a go. That slowness then seems quicker.

I have a been working with Anke over the last year with my mare Fei. Fei would become very tense through the back and would brace often resulting in pig-rooting or even bucking. We also found that her shoulders did not have enough movement to accommodate the movement from behind. Which would result in her not wanting to go forward. We have been doing some great groundwork sessions to get more movement in the shoulders and overall balance to help Fei relax into her work. The results have been great. I have such a lovely, relaxed mare to work with now, who wants to be with me and work with me rather than against me. We wlstill have a way to go but I am enjoying the journey, the learnings and the relationship I now have with Fei.❤️
