I wish I had known Emily and Hannah all my life – their unbridled knowledge and enthusiasm for mentoring on the 1-year training programme has been epic. Not only that they have boosted my confidence personally and as a photographer. They have both been paramount in kick-starting my equine photography business and I thank them whole-heartedly for that. I wish I could keep them for life!
When they bring you into the Training Barn it feels like you’re in a bubble – they’re both warm, friendly and professional – it’s a safe haven for talking, listening and sharing ideas plus I have made some lovely friends along the way. It’s been a magical, emotional but hugely fun year.
Thank you so much, Emily and Hannah xx
