“I can’t recommend Fiona and Barwick equestrian enough. The work she does is incredible. She brings out the best in both horse and rider, giving you such a confidence boost.

My 4yr old has recently been in Fiona’s care. Watching the progress of your youngster go from bolshy to respectful and enjoying his work is so exciting. The first time you sit on your youngster is the most amazing feeling and Fiona just has a way of making you feel completely at ease and confident.

Fiona takes you through each stage of their education and helps you so much along the way. Making sure both you and your horse are working together as a team before you leave. With the confidence to continue it all at home.

The care each individual horse gets at Barwick equestrian is second to none. Fiona and her team run such an fantastic yard. You know that when you leave your horse they are in the best possible hands.The only place I would ever send my horses.

I will never be able to say thank you enough for all Fiona and Barwick equestrian have done for both me and Archie.”

“I cannot praise Fiona Jones highly enough. She is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and nothing is too much trouble for her. She has taken my "straight from the field " youngster and in a matter of weeks has turned her into a lovely confident lady who now has manners. I wanted the very best start for my girl and thanks to Fiona ....my girl has had the best start. Highly recommended. Thank you Fiona....you really are the best.”

I can’t recommend Fiona enough. The work she does is amazing! Six weeks ago I sent my 4 year old to her to be backed and yesterday was the first time I rode him at home. It’s the most amazing feeling! Watching his progress throughout the six weeks was brilliant. The care she gives is exceptional and the way she understands each horse and their individual needs is mind blowing. I can not thank her enough for all she has done for my boy.
