1. My mare, Belle, has been stabled at Entwood Stables with Heather and Dave Turner for three and a half years now. I couldn't ask for better care for my horse. They are 100% dedicated to the wellbeing of all the horses on their property. Belle had a rough time before she came to me which made her a nervous mare. Heather and Dave have treated her with nothing but compassion and gentleness from the very first, and this has greatly contributed to making her the confident happy horse she is today.

1. I have been with Entwood stables for 7 years now. I originally baited an Andalusian gelding who gave me my confidence back after a bad accident. Dave and Heather helped me to get my nerve back and taught me all aspects of horse management. I now have my own TB gelding, Imperial Mint and they have been superb in assiting with his racing problems both physical and mental. I love Entwood and Mint is a very happy horse.

1. I bought my mare Lyric just over 4 years ago - with the help of Heather and Dave (would never choose a horse without them), and only had lessons before for a bit more than a year, so really knew nothing about keeping my own horse. They taught me (and still do) everything I need to know. Amongst all us 'Entwood Girls" we support each other whenever needed. Have now got 2 horses there - would not have them anywhere else.

1. I started my first riding lesson at the age of 34. Having never ridden before I was the most nervous rider you have ever seen. The horse moved an ear and I yelped! I doubt I would have coped at any other yard. But with Heather and Dave's support I have now owned my boy Boldy for two years. He is the perfect challenge and he keeps me on my toes. I thoroughly enjoy my riding, my confidence is a million times better, and there is always some one at hand to help out. Whether it’s a word of encouragement, or with something I don't know. The Entwood Girls are great fun, and I could never imagine stabling Boldy anywhere else!

1. I have been riding at Entwood for nearly 4 years. When I arived, I could not even go into a stable to touch a horse. Dave and Heather are dedicated to what they do and to their horses. Their knowledge is vast and they are still open to learn more. I love Dave who challenges me and Heather who neatens me. I do not own my own horse, but their school horses are great. Their oldest horse, being Koala, is about 30 years now. I rode her on Saturday, and she gave me such a fun ride. My favourite horse is Topper and I love riding him, even though he is about 24 years old.
   
   Entwood is my therapy...it is the atmosphere, the horses and the wonderful people. I have temporal lobe epilipsy, which was diagnosed through my horse riding. Both Dave and Heather have been patient with me, and know when to push and when not to. I will get my own horse one day, and I will go nowhere else but Entwood. I dont even mind travelling to Kyalami twice a week, as it is so worth it!

1. I have been riding at Entwood for ages and inherited Sambuka almost 4 years ago to the day !! I found Entwood through a friend of mine and started by takingmy son riding for "therapy" ... "what rubbish" the principal said !!!! How naive some people are ... needless to say I am still at Entwood and 2 ( 10 and 14 ) of my kids ride and live for going to the stables and are both very capable riders. I owe all this to Heather and Dave and everytime a hint of relocation!sad is mentioned by my husband I just about have a panic attack as I couldn't imagine being at any other stable yard!!! The stable girls are awsome and I really enjoy my time that I spend at Entwood. Sorry for you "BlueJoker" ...
