Vos réflexions/Your thoughts

Je monte aux amis du cheval d'Asnières depuis des années et j'aime beaucoup y venir car l'ambiance y est très bienveillante. Yannick s'investit énormément et il prépare chaque samedi pour nous faire progresser. Il ne fait pas que donner cours, il nous fait réfléchir en nous demandant d'aller visionner des vidéos ou de lire des articles. Il cherche toujours à nous trouver des exercices nouveaux pour faire évoluer les chevaux et les cavaliers. Yannick m'emmène en concours aussi et il m'accompagne sur les préparations des tours, c'est un vrai coach ! J'ai beaucoup progressé grâce à lui et ses chevaux (d'un très bon niveau de dressage)

Je faisais beaucoup de progrès et je pense, c’était un facteur déterminant que Yannick est motivé également. Il est évident qu’il est heureux et content si on a réussi quelque chose et, à l’inverse, il est anxieux à corriger nos fautes en cas des problèmes. Parce qu’il a des décennies d’expérience, il a toujours un exercice adapté pour éliminer des fautes particulièrement et il change le parcours approprié par conséquence. Ich habe große Fortschritte gemacht und ich denke Yannicks Motivation als Lehrer hat entscheidend dazu beigetragen. Er ist sichtbar glücklich und zufrieden, wenn wir etwas Neues gelernt oder geschafft haben und, auf der anderen Seite, ist er auch begierig, unsere Fehler zu beseitigen, wenn wir hier und da noch Probleme haben. Da er viele Jahrzehnte Erfahrung als Reitlehrer hat, hat er immer eine passende Übung um bestimmte Fehler zu korrigieren und ändert den Parcours dementsprechend. I made great progress and I think a critical factor for that was that Yannick is equally motivated and it is evident that he is happy when we accomplish something new and, on the other hand, he is very eager to improve our weaknesses when we don’t succeed at something. As he has many decades of experience in teaching, he always has a particular exercise to train a certain weakness and changes the parkour accordingly.

I have been having regular riding lessons with Yannick Court for about six years now. I take my own horse, a retrained racehorse, who is a lovely horse, but given his origins, and the fact that I am in my late sixties,is not always entirely straight forward. Yannick is always patient and encouraging. His lessons are well constructed, but not prescriptive. He often used particular exercises to help overcome individual problems. He does not push his pupils too hard, makes the lessons enjoyable, and you always feel that you are in a safe environment. I am very pleased with the progress that I and my horse have made. The atmosphere at the club is always friendly and welcoming and I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to have fun with their horse, whilst learning.

Je vais chez Yannick et Marion depuis seulement quelques mois et je trouve cette endroit superbe. Ils sont très accueillants et les chevaux sont super! Yannick est quelqu'un de très pédagogue j'ai appris beaucoup de chose surtout en dressage mais aussi en cso dans lesquel j'ai pu participé à de nombreux concours ce qui m'a permis d'évoluer. Nous faisons aussi quelque sorti en cross dans différents lieux qui sont à chaque fois très enrichissante pour nous mais aussi pour les chevaux! J'adore aller la bas et je recommande "Les amis du cheval d'asniere"!

My daughter Sarah and i joined Yannick and Marions club a few months ago. We both have our own horses and used to compete regularly in the UK. Since being in France some 15yrs now we hadn't really got to grips with the competion side of things even though we both still rode now and again. I felt quite apprehensive about competing again but with weekly lessons and generally feeling part of the club we've gone from strength to strength and feel much more confident. A really lovely club to be in whether you are novice, experienced, young or old

We stayed with Yannick and Marion and all their wonderful animals on their beautiful farm in France for one month. We went on the best hacks with Yannick out in the countryside, cantering across fields, paddling in rivers and jumping over logs in the forest. Honoustly like paradise,- I could write pages!! We did do many different things in a relatively short time period which I found amazing. We went to jumping competitions with the horses and club members, visited another beautiful farm where there was a sort of workshop for carriage driving(very interesting!) etc. Yannick is not only a warm, friendly, patient person whom I loved being around, he is also a wonderful teacher who explained things well so that I could learn, and who helped me improve my riding-especially jumping which was my favourite thing to do. I appreciate that he took the time to teach and work with me. There are horses you can ride no matter what your level, and it's so fun getting to know them during the stay. I wish I could have stayed longer! -Lahore I was also given the chance to watch some show jumping competitions and even go to a carriage driving workshop, which was so interesting and a unique opportunity - one I never thought I'd have. I also did some vaulting - something else I had never done before - and it was glorious!! I rode almost every day (in itself a dream come true) - sometimes in lessons - and Yannick was very patient in helping to improve my riding and jumping skills. The horses are beautiful and so calm and approachable - I loved spending time and getting to know each of them. And then the hacks Yannick took us on!!! Wow! Absolute bliss!! Racing through the idealic countryside and up forest paths, splashing in rivers and dams, jumping logs...it couldn't have been more perfect. It was honestly one of the most thrilling and happiest moments someone could have given me. I will miss being on the farm with the horses, wonderful dogs and cat, the delicious dinners Marion cooks, playing the guitar and talking or singing in the evenings, the tranquility of the surroundings...I will miss it full stop! But I definitely left with the intention of going back. Laura

Yannick is a great teacher, patient and exceptional at what he does. The reason why I say this is that by the time I left, I was able to ride a variety of horses and do gallop 4-5 dressage stuff. The biggest achievement was that just after 3 months of riding I jumped 1.20m. The progress I made during these 3 months wouldn't have been possible without both Yannick and Marion, who taught me theoretical stuff accompanied by a lot of practice in the arena.

Marion et Yannick m'ont accueillie en stage en début d'année et ils m'ont fait progresser, ils m'ont appris en une semaine plus que j'ai appris en 6 mois de stage ailleurs. J'apprend à travailler les jeunes chevaux différemment des chevaux expérimentés. Je travaille beaucoup le dressage alors que dans mon ancien club on ne le travaillait pas autant. Je les remercie vraiment et je recommande vraiment ce club.

Marion et Yannick ont définitivement un cheval pour tout le monde. Des adorables petits shetlands, en passant par Tempete, jument parfaite pour les débutants, aux jeunes lusitaniens, et chaque cheval que j'ai monté m'a aidée a m'améliorer comme cavaliere. Yannick a été un instructeur formidable et j'ai tellement progressé en équitation grace a lui. J'ai appris tellement de choses quant aux subtilités de notre communication avec les chevaux, et a m'occuper de jeunes chevaux et des chevaux plus difficiles. J'ai beaucoup plus confiance en moi meme et je sais que je me suis beaoucoup améliorée techniquement, j'ai meme appris a faire des appuyers. Yannick peut etre ferme, mais il est toujours juste et est rapide pour faire des compliments. On montait de 4 chevaux par jour a monter un jour sur deux, selon les autres taches a effectuer et qui se trouvait au centre. Nous avons aussi fait des superbes balades dans la tres jolie campagne environnante, ce qui m'a rendue "illimitée heureuse"

Marion and Yannick definitely have a horse for everyone, from the adorable shetlands to bombproof Tempete to the young Lusitaniens, and every horse I rode definitely helped to improve me as a rider. Yannick was a fantastic instructor and my riding improved so much thanks to him. I’ve learnt much more about the subtleties of communication and how to handle young and sometimes challenging horses. I feel much more confident in my ability now and know that my technique has improved too, I even learnt to do a half pass. He can be firm but is always fair and quick to praise. The amount of riding varied, from four times a day to every other day, depending on what other work needing doing and who else was there at the time. We did some fantastic hacks as well in the beautiful countryside surrounding their house which made me “unlimited happy”!

I just wanted to drop you a line to say how much I enjoyed myself today. As a club you should all be so proud of yourselves. The spectacle was first class. I have been to watch several spectacles at clubs since living in France but this was by far the best. All the students showed a high level of good riding and what really impressed me was that each rider was in control of their pony and worked completely independently but remained within their group, i.e. not just following the pony in front. Thank you very much for asking me to judge and I feel very privileged.

"Merci a vous deux Marion et Yannick, Ziggy et Alexandra ont tous les deux développé leur confiance mais c'est vous qui leur avez montré comment faire! Elle adore monter a poney et c'est incroyable qu'a l'age de 8 ans elle peut sortir en balade avec les grands et pas seulement pour faire du pas sur le chemin, mais faire du galop et sauter des troncs d'arbres dans les bois... Vous avez une capacité étonnante avec les enfants... Bonne année a vous!" "Well thanks to you both Marion and Yannick both Ziggy's confidence and Alexandra's have grown but you showed them the way! She loves her riding and it is amazing that at 8 years old she can go out with the big girls and not just a walk along the lane but cantering and jumping logs in the woods ...You have an amazing ability with kids ... Happy New Year to you!"

C'est une excellente structure. Yannick et Marion sont vraiment très sympas avec toujours un mot pour encourager les jeunes. Les chevaux sont heureux, bien dans leur peau. Je n'y ai vu aucun accident et les chutes ne sont jamais dues aux "humeurs" des chevaux. Yannick sait adapter ses conseils à chacun pour individualiser les progressions. Les stagiaires y sont très bien accueillis et des tâches valorisantes leur sont confiées (travail des jeunes chevaux) C'est aussi très enrichissant de côtoyer des jeunes de différents coins du monde. Longue vie aux "amis du cheval d'Asnières".

Hello, Do you have a Facebook Page?

j'ai passé 3 jours avec mes petits enfants, c'était super ! l'accueil au top, Alice et Tempête ont été très gentil. Pendant le séjour, ballade en campagne après avoir pris quelques leçons d'équitation. Les enfants en redemandent.
