Euwe – Friesian. “The training at Turville has been incredible. Euwe has learnt all the lateral work and is now moving on to more advanced work such as piaffe. This is something I would never have achieved without the superb training we have received during our regular stays. We really cannot thank Diane and team enough.†Clare Axon-Saunders

Thanks to Turville Valley Stud my Welsh Cob , Dallas is a real pleasure to ride. With their help, guidance and schooling we have great fun with our Dressage and Working Equitation. He is very supple, performs all the lateral work and very good Spanish Walk….Jean Holmes.
Zimbral – Lusitano Stallion “Zimbral I have been coming to Turville since March & it has been brilliant. Diane has really helped us get to grips with our lateral work which was an area we were struggling with. Diane is one of the few trainers who has not only had traditional Portuguese training, but also knows what is needed to compete to a high standard in modern dressage. Thanks for all your help so far, and looking forward to continuing Zimbral’s training under your guidance.” Emma Brooks
