Sparky & Carlye & Michelle Yanstick

The pony, which trusts very few people, seemed to realize right away that he could trust Nancy and open up to her.

I had the good fortune to have Nancy recommended to me by a friend about a year ago when my daughter’s pony began exhibiting some uncharacteristic behaviors. After a solid six months of working with a reputable trainer, the pony’s issues continued to escalate instead of diminish. My daughter’s once “bombproof” pony that she’d been riding since she was six years old began acting erratically and unpredictable. Obviously this took a toll on my daughter’s confidence and my nerves as a mom. We adore the pony and he is a beloved member of our family, so selling him was not an option.

We contacted Nancy and she “talked” to Sparky to find out what was going on and to reassure him of the situations that were frightening him. Nancy cleared him with SRT and the very next day he showed a radical change in behavior for the better. He no longer spooked at lessons or horse shows, and seemed to be more trusting of people he did not know. He had an overall calmness to him once again.

Nancy was also able to address a joint issue that he was having that we were unaware of. Thankfully we were able to remedy that as well. The pony, which trusts very few people, seemed to realize right away that he could trust Nancy and open up to her.

Her insight into his behavior, health and overall well-being has been invaluable to us. Anytime any issues come up, whether they are training issues, health concerns, or just wanting to know how he feels about something, we automatically turn to Nancy. I cannot thank her enough. I have since recommended her to friends and family members who have been equally amazed and satisfied with her abilities.
