A friendly and knowledgeable woman with whom you can easily discuss any issues you encounter as an instructor. This leads to a great collaboration between rider, instructor, and therapist. It's also great that Merel rides at a high level herself and is very knowledgeable.
It's wonderful how carefully Merel treats our horse and takes the time for us. Not only for our horse, but also how she helps us feel involved and instructs us on her findings and where there is still room for growth.
Thank you for your skilled work!
Precise, friendly, and knowledgeable!
Merel came to me because my horse was leaning on my right hand. Merel resolved that in just one session, and it has never returned. My other horse, Mara, frequently displayed some stopping behavior. Merel patiently worked for over an hour on Mara's treatment. After the treatment, Mara never displayed the stopping behavior again, and I have my willing mare back. I think Merel is amazing, knowledgeable, and above all, a true horse whisperer.
I am very grateful for Merel's treatment for my two horses! One of them is a young Spanish horse who often finds new things exciting. Merel is so relaxed and kind that both horses immediately felt at ease, allowing her to work with them freely. The treatment revealed many explanations for the issues I had while riding. After the treatment, I noticed an immediate difference in both horses. For example, the pelvis that wasn't moving up now moved just as smoothly as the other side after a few adjustments. And this is just one of many examples where I saw a direct change. When I got on my horses a few days later to ride, she was, as expected, searching in her body, but immediately more relaxed, consistent, and jumped right into the correct canter, which had previously caused us so many problems. It really did her a lot of good! Merel is great at thinking along with you, asking targeted questions, and advising you on exercises you can do with your horse. In short, I am very satisfied, and I will definitely return to Merel!
After the treatments from Merel, my horse is straighter, more responsive to both reins, and collects more easily. Merel truly has golden hands!
After my horse had a trailer accident, she became irregular in her movement. I had various therapists work with her for a year, and just like with periods of rest, nothing helped. She was visibly struggling with her hindquarters, and her behavior was affected as well. On the recommendation of others, I contacted Merel. Merel is a friendly person who approaches my horse with great calmness. She identified clear issues in my mare's pelvis and lower back. Miraculously, after a year of searching, one treatment from Merel resulted in my mare's complaints being resolved. I am very happy and will definitely have Merel come back!
