Pony Xam (11 years) – Eventing M-Z
“We wanted to improve the stamina of the eventing-pony of our 12-year-old daughter Emma, so she would be able to sequel her successful start in the preliminary class. The condition test showed that Xam should be able to handle the desired level of fitness, but that he accumulated lactate too quickly. Based on this information, Carolien has drawn up a training schedule for three months. Xam now is in better shape and comes back from competitions fit and healthy. Our daughter also learned a lot from this. She has learned to be more aware of the pony during training sessions and competitions. I recommend such a training course for all hoirse riders who have the ambition to be able to ride on a higher level. To be conscious at an early stage, you learn a lot about the intensive equestrian sports. “

Horse Great George
“I wanted to train the condition, strength and driving skills of my horse Great George properly without under-or overloading him. I am an experienced dressage rider that emanates intuitively. For many horses this was sufficient, but with Great George I didn’t know what to do. He was feeling tired quickly and I didn’t see any improvements. The guidance of Moxie Sport started with an extensive condition test. Based on that test, I received an exercise routine. In the beginning I found it difficult and contradictory. I felt as though my horse wasn’t ready for certain technical riding skills. However I relied on Carolien completely. Thanks to her advice, I managed to get my horse in shape quickly”
