Lessons:

Julie is one of the best instructors I've had (and I've had a few).  She is endlessly encouraging and lessons are always both fun and constructive.  A highly effective communicator if she doesn't immediately use the correct language to connect with your mind, she will keep trying until she finds the correct 'key' to unlock your potential. 

Julie will always target your specific requirements with exercises which stretch mind and body to achieve your riding goals and she is very quick to zero in on your 'problem areas'.  Julie is constantly bringing new ideas and exercises to her work from her wealth of knowledge of the many different disciplines she has researched, ridden and competed in.  She also keeps searching books and magazines to bring useful ideas and exercises to her lessons.
