TESTIMONIALS
"Alex is a wonderful coach and after each and every lesson I always learn something new and come away feeling positive with lots to practise. Cruachan has changed both physically and mentally during the course of the last competition season with Alex’s lessons and treatments. He now finds the demands of dressage a lot easier and his approach to learning new movements is substantially better after Alex’s EMRT sessions. What he would once find difficult, and therefore reject, he now tackles with positivity and is a joy to ride and school. She has a wealth of knowledge that she shares in such a way that is easy to understand and Alex has transformed the way I school my pony and how I approach schooling in general."

"Cannot recommend Alex highly enough. She has performed what seems like a miracle on my girl! I know very little of my mare's history but after years of bad treatment, bad riders an ill fitting tack she came to me badly misshapen in her back end, in pain and with too much of the wrong muscles built up and not enough of the correct ones. After trying physio, asking vet, numerous different schooling techniques/exercises Alex was the answer. She is loving and calm with the horses. My girl adores her! One of the few people in the horse world that does their job firstly for the love of the animals. Thank you so much Alex for giving Saffy a second chance of a comfortable and happy life"

"Alex has been my mentor and riding instructor for the last 8 months. I started as a complete novice with no riding experience. Alex started with all the basics, I know how to tack up correctly, set my stirrups and saddle to provide me with correct seating and balance. I have progressed through walk, trot and canter over the course of our time together. I have practised out on hacks all the exercises Alex suggested. I am now starting Trec and looking forward to advancing my riding this year. Alex will be my go to instructor and mentor, I can't thank Alex enough for the professional approach and easy to understand lessons and instructions. I highly recommend Alex to anyone who wants to start or advance their riding skills and experience"

"I have a 17hh ex broodmare. She hadn’t really been ridden for years so had poor muscle tone i.e none! She found it very hard to hold her frame and at times was bridle lame. She can also be quite tricky and stressed. I heard about Alex Fox, how good she is with tricky horses and that she is trained in Equine Muscle Release Therapy. As soon as she started riding Mo she just got her. Mo became the horse I’d known before moving her. Alex is very in tune to the horse and natural in how she asks questions of the horse. Alex has also worked on Mo using the EMRT technique. Mo initially wasn’t too sure what was happening but very quickly responded to the gentle muscle manipulation. In the past few months Mo is no longer bridle lame, can hold her frame much better and is building equally balanced muscle tone. Still a way to go but I’d recommend this to anyone who wants their horse to move naturally and freely."

‘Alex worked wonders with my less than easy mare after I realised I was over horsed. My horse went from refusing to go over trotting poles to jumping a metre including scary fillers. Alex’s schooling sessions drastically improved Luna’s paces, flexibility, muscle, outline and attitude. Her muscle release treatments really helped before and after difficult schooling sessions to ensure Luna got the most out the session and prevented any stiffness or soreness the next day. Alex took her to her first ever competitive outing giving her so much confidence and gained a 1st and 3rd in her prelim dressage to top it all off. Alex has a professional, patient, devoted, kind and calm manner and I can honestly say I trust her 100% which is important when letting someone loose with your horse.”

"Had the fantastic Alex Fox out to treat my 2 ponies. Only started a year ago with Alex but already seen a difference in my boys. Blue is always very relaxed during their treatments. When I was in hospital Alex helped school my youngster Elmo. Would highly recommend her schooling and treatments"
