"The Mastery Program was a significant factor in helping me change me. I started the Mastery Program during a very difficult and vulnerable time in my life when my son was battling against a life-threatening disease. Although I dedicated most of my time to my son, I still had my horse and even though I didn't have time to ride him, the little time I spent with him each day (20-30 mins) was good for me because it gave me something positive to focus on other than the sadness, desperation, and anxiety that filled most of my day as I waited to know whether or not we would find a bone marrow donor for my son. Even though I spent so little time with my horse, I saw big changes in him. The step by step approach in ST helped me to be able to explain things to him that I had previously been unable to explain with the approaches I had been taught. He had been a racehorse and then an endurance horse and had quite a difficult life before I got him, and I had been trying to teach him classical equitation, but the things that worked well with the lovely Lusitanos I was used to, didn't work at all well with my Arab and until ST I didn't have another way to do things. The Mastery Program opened up new horizons for me."
