What a wet, Windy Miserable day! ☔️☔️☔️ However took the girls to summerhouse for the BS. Must be mad!! 🤣 Despite the weather they both were on fire! 🔥 Thought I would put in some practice and training over the past few weeks with Katie Williams in to play! Well the lessons definitely paid off. Willow jumped a fab double clear in the newcomers. Then pinged around the 1.15. What a horse!! 👊👊 Chateau also fab. Just rolled on pole in the 1.15 ( I blame the wind! 🤣) then in the F...oxhunter (1.20) she jumped a fab double clear to finish 3rd. So pleased with girls!!! 💕💕 #naf #gaintrain #upclosephotography #forestpysiotherapy #safehands

Yay!!!!! Go Fearie. Our 3yr having a trot with a rider for the first time!! Have to say that trot is stunning and she just floats. At the moment she is nothing like her big Bro Fable!! Would say she is more like her Mum Bonnie and Legs. Already her natural balance is amazing. So proud of her in a week she has just been incredible. 💕💕

Our beautiful 4yr Legs. She really is coming on. She is now entered for first ever competition on Sunday. 🤞🤞🤞

Two weeks ago I sent my pony Miss Maisie to Charlotte for some schooling as was finding it hard to get things right well two weeks later it's a different story I rode her today before bringing her home Charlotte went through what she had done and how to get it right so I now know the way forward even jumping over 2ft with rhythm as before I just hung on for life so anyone out there looking for someone with the skill and passion to bring there horses or ponies on Charlotte is the lady you want totally brilliant so thankyou very much x

There are not many people i would leave the precious Master Alfie with but having left him for a weeks training with Charlotte i would put her at the top of my list any day. Charlotte & her team looked after Alf brilliantly & i cant recommend them enough. Master Alfie is not always the easiest of horses but Charlotte took the time that week to ride him with the experience she has to train him in the way that he needs to create the the perfect outcome....i look forward to continuing the progress Charlotte made by spending 2014 having lessons with her to turn a good horse into an even better one.

Sent my 4yr old tb to Charlotte for 3 weeks he was very lightly backed by myself and the difference in such a short time with Charlotte he has come back a totally different horse I took him out for his first proper hack out lasting 3 hours he felt like I was riding a horse that had been ridden for years some amazing work you done with him Charlotte one very happy owner thank u so much x

Posted a request on facebook for someone to break in my 12 year old's Fell colt and was sent in the direction of Armstrong Equine.

From first meeting Charlotte and her gang we were most impressed with them all. Millie was able to go up and spend as much time as she wanted watching and learning. Fred was with Charlotte just 3 weeks when we were told he was ready to come home.

He has come back all relaxed and ready to go on...

A job well done - thanks to you all. Happy to recommend.....

Not only has Charlotte school a horse for me she has also sold him on my behalf, I can not recommend her enough. Takes great care of them and great communication. Lovely lady who knows her stuff 🙂

If you are looking for the right horse, a brilliant trainer, the best advice, the most fantastic and friendliest yard, then look no further. I have just bought a horse from this yard and decided to keep him there for an extra week to get to know him, have lessons with Charlotte and make use of the excellent facilities. I have been really impressed with the way Charlotte manages and brings on horses and ponies at her yard. I have seen horses with a range of issues transform completely during the course of a brief schooling period with Charlotte and during the week come on in leaps and bounds - quite literally! I wish this yard were closer as I would be back for regular lessons and training events. I can't recommend this yard, and Charlotte highly enough. I wish Charlotte all the best in her eventing and business endeavours and I'll be following Team Armstrong all the way!

I would recommend Charlotte to anybody needing help with there horses :) my four year old has been having lessons with her and he started and he was very bulshy but over the time she's worked with him he's now going great on the lunge and even ok to to get on and start hacking still a long way to go with him but he can only get better :) The change is great can't wait to just enjoy summer with him and continue his training myself and see him get better and better :) Thankyou Charlotte xx

I would like to say a massive thank you to Charlotte and everyone at Armstrong equine. I sent Iggy there under three months ago to be sold, as I thought he was to much for me!! In that time she has turned him into a horse I can't ever imagine selling. She did an amazing job in such a short period of time. Still can't believe he did two events, having only ever hacked out since he started work in April. Thanks again

I started having lessons with Charlotte when I got my ex racehorse, she was very green and lacked confidence. Charlottes calm and enthusiastic approach helped us grow with every lesson. Her passion is contagious and inspired me to carry on even when my mare was naughty!! Her lessons always seem to be effective regardless of what mood my mare decided to be in that day! I would highly recommend Charlotte to anyone, whether they are just starting out and need confidence or if you need help building your horse up to work at a higher level. I have used her for both over the last few years and can always see the results x

I really can't recommend Charlotte enough!



I started having lessons with Charlotte on my fairly new horse (ex-racer with a few issues) with the anticipation of popping a couple of jumps sometime in the future due to not jumping properly for a few years... By the end of my first lesson, we had jumped a course of 2'3" and by the end of my second lesson we had jumped 2'9"/3'!!!



Charlotte has done wonders for my confidence and I can't thank her enough. I have been riding for 20 years yet I'm still learning new things. She is really helping me get to know my new horse and helping us work as a team.



My lesson has become the highlight of my week!



Thank you Armstrong Equine!! XXX

I left Tonto with Charlotte and the team for 3 weeks over the Christmas break as I couldn't take him back home with me and I am so pleased I did. The level of care he got was excellent and I can really feel the improvement in his flatwork. He has improved greatly in the short time he was there. We will definitely be going back!

I cannot thank Charlotte and her team enough for what they have done over the last 5 weeks for me and my 2 horses... Charlotte puts 100% into her work and you cannot fault her. She wastes no time or money and gets the job done.

She has an undeniable flare and talent when it comes to this profession and I recommend her to everyone I meet.

I'm so thrilled to have came across Armstrong Equine! It has helped me a great deal in finding me the best possible horse, who I adore, and also Charlotte has put her all in to finding my 2nd horse her perfect loan home.

I always have full confidence and trust in this lady and you can't ask for more than what she offers and delivers!

I hope to stay in contact with Charlotte as not only has she helped professionally but feel I have made a friend!

Thank you to all at Armstrong Equine x

I can't recommend Armstong Equine highly enough. I had sent my homebred mare to two different (professional) trainers previously to no avail......and then........... two people (on the same day, at the same BE event) recommended Charlotte and Katie. What an amazing difference they have made to my horse. Patience, regular and varied work AND TLC ~ what more could a horse (and owner) want! She now looks like the horse I knew she could be and is in a great place with a super home and has embarked on a bright and successful future. My next youngster is already booked in ~ what more can I say other than thank you very much!

Charlotte has had my mare a few times whilst I am away on livery and also schooling. I can not recommend charlotte enough! She works wonders every time, and I always see the end results afterwards. She has a great relaxed and positive attitude towards trying to see how she can get the best out of every horse she gets her hands on! I am always amazed by how she does it. Lessons with charlotte are energising and rewarding as I always feel like I have achieved something, with help and guidance from Charlotte! Thank you for all your help so far!

Can't gush enough about the Armstrong team and what they've done for us over this past year both humans and ponies ! We've had various horses in for everything from schooling to rehab and fitness to just pampering and I can honestly say the ponies are treated as if they were their own and absolutely love being with Charlotte and her team. The support and encouragement for my daughter has been first class and she's grown so much with her confidence and riding ability. Nothing is too much to ask for these guys and they put up with even non horsey parents like us! Love you guys. Thanks for everything and see you really really soon ��� Char, Suze and Paul xxx

Can highly recommend Charlotte after sending my horse to her for holiday livery earlier in the summer but what I now affectionately refer to as "hoof" camp. Ed came back noticeably fitter in the couple of weeks he was with her and thrived on the routine and level of care he received. Fantastic yard and I wouldn't hesitate in leaving my horse with Charlotte again.

After two weeks of schooling (in wind, rain, snow) over the Christmas period, the improvement in my TB is stunning. As a prolific racer, he's always had a bit of a "racing neck" and I've struggled to get him to work in outline. Today, when I collected him and had a lesson with Charlotte, we were walking, trotting and cantering in a consistent outline - thanks Charlotte, I can't recommend you highly enough. Already studying the calendar to book my next visit :)

After trying for 6 months to sell my mare from home I was recommended Charlotte. I had my doubts as for sending her away but when I dropped her off I was welcomed by 3 very enthusiastic lady's my doubts were quickly gone and she was settled into a very smart stable. Within 3 days she had got a viewing, then she had sold her! And to a very nice home indeed! I would recommend Armstrong Equine to any one and thank them all very much!
