Birgitte Sørensen – Denmark:

"With ST Mastery I found all the good stuff about training horses, collected in one place. And on top of a great, easy to understand, horse training program, there is also a human coaching program. ST for me is one big personal journey. In ST I found all the best from what I have been looking into while I have been with horses, also including personal coaching. All explained in a way, that it is easy to understand, and still you will find all the detail. Every time I repeat some of the video or PDFs I pick up more details. Thank you, Marijke this is a university I will learn from many years."

Kathleen Beesley – Portugal

"Straightness Training was the best thing that happened to me and my horse. I have learned so much about how to help my horse to better balance. We now have a clear way forward and my horse is now able to do exercises like shoulder-in, travers and renvers with ease, when this time last year he was still struggling with a 15m circle. Now, I can begin to think of myself as a trainer who can help my horse fulfill his potential. People tried to convince me that my horse was beyond help, he was too old to change, he had too many bad habits. I am just glad I didn't listen to them and kept searching for the right way to help him - for us that has been straightness training!"

Gilly Prime – UK:

"At last there is somebody out there that has explained in easy to understand detail, about how horses think and work, then applying these principles to training in a sympathetic system, which is enjoyable for both horse and trainer. The online course is enjoyable and addictive, there is loads of educational information, which is easy to follow and understand. I would encourage everybody to join the ST Mastery program for the sake of the horse (health and mental wellbeing) We finally have a decent educational system for all things, which has been sadly missing for many years."

Lisbeth Arnestad – Norway:

"The mastery program has definitely improved my communication with my horses and made me a better trainer. The program has provided practical input on how to train horses in a harmonious and still very effective way through building skills for both horse and trainer step by step. I also love the structure of the program, Marijke’s very inspirational way of presenting the material, and that we can continue to develop and get feedback though the ST evaluations."

Lynn Punturiere – US

"The Straightness Training Mastery program has given me the confidence that I can take my horse to higher levels than imagined. Marijke shows us our goals are possible and teaches purpose in the work giving great depth and understanding. Mastery provides such a holistic wealth of knowledge; giving students an abundance of tools. We learn how we can build on our strengths with optimism and yet, still pay attention to details without stress. I highly recommend this program no matter what your discipline."

Tanja Verhagen - Sweden/The Netherlands:

"Loved the on-line course, to do it in your own pace. Their is so much material available that you always find an answer. The webinars are the motor behind it, to keep us motivated, inspirated and gives you a boost of fresh energy. The course changed most me and my thinking and as the horse mirrors people, we will see a change in them too. Now I'm talking about the mental /emotional part. Physical I see some huge improvement in flexibility of the body, just a more happy horse! I have to admit ST becomes an addiction ;)"

Avalon Pommer – Denmark:

"Straightness Training Mastery has been an amazing journey for me and my horse Elliot and it is not over. Mastery is just the beginning. ST Mastery have giving me the tools to make my own organized training plan, so that Elliot and I can develop in to the best version of our self's. Other benefits are the fantastic Mastery forum on Facebook that provides help 24 hours a day. You ask a question and everyone in there is sharing all of their knowledge and wants the best for you and your journey. It has been and still is amazing and I love every part of the ST Mastery program."

Carole Cox – USA:

"This is the most comprehensive, all in one program I have seen. The good news is, it is available to anyone in the world. The internet provided us with a mechanism that brings this superior training to everyone! I live in an area where quality clinics are not available. Marijke organized a course that was just as useful as "being there". I no longer feel like a back yard horse person and am looking forward to the many things I have to learn and the evaluations that follow."

Jacquie Blake - UK

"Straightness Training is the reason I am riding my ex racer again. For years I have been told that his issues were all psychological. Finally I found a vet who told me that his problems were due to osteo arthritis in the sacro iliac. After learning the principles of Straightness Training on the Home Study course I started to notice a change in Beans. After joining Straightness Training Mastery I discovered a whole new level which I am still exploring. I am now riding my horse after having retired him three years ago. Mastery has made me more aware of the essence of ST and so I have been able to refine and understand our work. The mini mastery is a fantastic visual reference for people who want to know more about Straightness Training."

Emma Rennison - UK:

"I am looking below and realising this has been said many a time, but cannot emphasise enough how much straightness training has changed mine and my horses lives forever. I had one in particular difficult horse and now I see him in such a different light. We have so much to strive for, and we are so much happier from a physical, mental and spiritual level than ever before (ugly duckling to magical swan). Also, the straightness training community is the most supportive, non egotistical and non judgemental horse community I have ever been involved with and will only help you grow in the world of horsemanship for the better."

Marlies Baumann - South Africa:

"Straightness training was a journey not only to be a better trainer, I also came in a new world of horseman ship. My horse does communicate to me and we have the greatest friendship I always was dreaming about! I see and also feel horses with much more knowledge. I have home work for the next couple years with so many different things to train and never get board! I'm so grate full to Marijke's knowledge what she does share with us:)"

Mia Månsson - Sweden:

"I think Straightness training is helpful also for people not experiencing huge problems with their horse, because you can never know what you don't know - ST can be help reaching a higher level of awareness, develop the talents of the horse and finding details and missing pieces (some pieces maybe you didn't even know was lost! ;) "

Kim Alford - South Africa

"I have been a student of the horse for many years now. Before I discovered Straightness Training, I had to try and find my way through a sea of information on training horses, in books and on the internet, which could be very confusing at times. I have finally found a training system with a structured approach that teaches us how, why and when. I believe that every horse owner should be a Straightness Training student. It is a logical system of gymnastic exercises for the horse. The depth of the information shared by Marijke is endless. If you have a question, she will have the answer. It is one of the best investments I have ever made."

Chris Gratton - UK:

"Not only is ST a wonderful program, the ST community are totally inclusive and supportive. No-one is ever made to feel stupid and no question is ever too simple or too complicated to be answered. Not only that but there is never any criticism of other methods or trainers. ST is a program for everyone, whatever kind of horse you may have, and wherever you are at in your horsemanship journey :)"

Elaine Coxon – UK:

"The Mastery Course has been the most phenomenal course imaginable. The depth of learning has been remarkable. If you are wanting to 'fast track' with your own ST journey, then I really cannot recommend the Mastery Program enough. Marijke has personally coached us every step of the way. We have developed as a community - a supportive tribe. The feedback from the Evaluations has moved me along on my journey, and I have developed as a person through the Wheel of Mastery. Marijke has gently taken me out of the Comfort Zone and into the Stretch Zone, but never into the Stress Zone. I would not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone who wants to develop themselves, and their horsemanship beyond their wildest dreams. Worth every Euro."

Zaneta Georgiades - South Africa:

"The Mastery program has been essential to the breakthroughs and insights I have had with my horses. It is worth much more than it costs, it is a treasury of information! I have recommended the Home Study and Mastery course to all my students because I think it gives one such a detailed and solid foundation to build on. The Mastery community has been supportive and inspirational; it is by far the most open hearted horse community I have ever been a part of. Thank you Marijke for all you and your team's hard work in creating this amazing learning opportunity for us!"
