Testimonials

It took me a long time to find the right person with the right "heart and hands" to teach my gentle but intimidating Friesian Stallion about the saddle and to give him some experiences beyond green broke. What a lucky day it was when I met Simon Fielder! I am certain that my Nemo would pick him out of a crowd of a 1000 men!

We’re thrilled with the work Simon Fielder is doing with Shiloh and Odin. His remarkable feel, timing, and balance, combined with an intuitive understanding of each horse’s needs, make his approach truly special. His kindness and empathy shine through in every interaction, and he remains dedicated until the horse reaches a relaxed and trusting state. It’s a privilege to watch his horsemanship in action.

Highly recommend Simon. He came out this afternoon to help with float training for my horse. Simon did an amazing job and kept the whole thing stress free. By the end of the session my tb was like a different horse getting on and off the float. He was much more relaxed, willing and responsive. Can’t thank you enough!

Simon has a lifetime of knowledge and experience with all types of horses & disciplines. Today we were so privileged to be a part of his horsemanship clinic. Simon techniques were gentle and kind and gained my horses trust & respect whilst working through an obstacle course. Thank you Simon we look forward to another clinic soon.

I’m always impressed by Simon's gentle ways. This is a man who understands horses, and takes obvious pleasure when the horse achieves even a very small increment. From handling foals, yearlings, restarting horses, and helping me settle my high anxiety OTTB, I’ve never seen him become frustrated, he has a very calm and gentle way with horses, and they love him in return. Highly recommend Simon.

Simon had a great way of working with each horse as an individual. It was amazing to see how far
each horse came in a relatively short time. Thanks Simon.
