What do Riders say?

Change your Ride, Change your Life

Romy Jankelowitz

Linda assisted and guided me in finding HOW to find direction again: how to create achievable and bite-sized goals, how to maintain a feeling of achievement in order to not feel I wasn't progressing, how to identify, address and conquer mental blocks I'd had for 22 years of riding without even realizing it. I learnt how to be my own inner cheerleader rather than critic, how to sync my vision with my day-to-day plans and actions, and how to go into shows feeling calm, prepared, and ready to have fun AND win. Linda - you not only changed my riding, you changed my life.

My Riding Goals are Back on Track

Molly Gregory

My experience with Forging Ahead gave me a perspective on riding which I thought I lost. Linda helped me regain my love for my horses and the sport itself. After I fell off my horse last year, I felt as if I’d lost control of my riding career. Thanks to Linda I now feel excited and passionate every time I get in the saddle, she helped me put myself and my goals back on track and I’m looking forward to becoming the best rider I know I can be.
