"I have worked with The Eventing Way for 6 years of my eventing career. Throughout they have been an amazing team, passionate and professional about horses, as well as friendly kind, and committed in supporting me to achieve my objectives. Working with Stephen Way has hugely improved my understanding, ability and style in cross country riding. Along with one to one intensive training he has guided and assisted me to get to top events from National class to the Olympics, sharing his wealth of knowledge with me at every phase. When we walk each cross-country course together his passion and knowledge are amazing. He has also worked hard to help me overcome my nervousness with Dressage, getting me to the point where my scores are low 30’s at international level.
Throughout my career Mel Way has cared for my horses as if they where her own. I’m very grateful to have someone who is so dedicated, kind caring of the welfare of my horses as I have to return to Hong Kong in the winter months and I know they are in safe hands. She has supported me in competitions in Ireland, UK, Europe and the Olympics in Japan and has always ensured the horses were turned out to the very highest standard. Her friendship and kindness has supported me through some difficult challenges. I am very grateful to be part of their team for so long, achieving so much together. I highly recommend “ The Eventing Way” to riders at all levels as their comprehensive ability to improve your skills and competitiveness are unmatched." - Thomas Heffernan Ho "I cannot thank Mel, Steve and the whole The Eventing Way - Stephen Way Equestrian team enough for the last two years Ever since basing myself and my horses with them at the end of 2020, they’ve welcomed me onto the team and the family. Since then we’ve been lucky enough to enjoy two great seasons together - through all the ups and downs that horses (and life ) bring, they’ve stuck in my corner. They’ve done an incredible amount for my horses and myself through the years; with their help and support, I owe much of my riding and knowledge for horses to them. I’ll be forever grateful for everything they’ve done for me, and I cannot recommend them enough for training, livery, and all things horses" - Yu Xuan Su "I took my horse guy to the yard, ready to sell it. He would not keep a foot on the ground, and was to big to be funny! Stephan And the team worked miracles on this horse. Making me able to take him to his first competition. I can not recommend them any more. They have truly been a gift, And let my big horse stay around" - Gabby Cox "Mel and Stephen provide a professional, fun and inclusive environment for all. initially I brought my older horse to them for full livery, they understood and accommodated his additional medical needs prior to his retirement and have helped me with taking on a new horse, which I have had continued support and training with as a younger ex-racehorse. They have a wealth of experience and knowledge and are always willing to provide advice and support. I could not recommend them enough!" _ Frances Ridley "STEVE IS A VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AND POSITIVE TEACHER. HE IS EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE BUT COMES ACROSS IN A LANGUAGE THAT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND...NOT ONLY DO I COME AWAY FROM TRAINING SESSIONS FEELING THAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED SOMETHING, THANKS TO STEVE’S GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF FUN ALONG THE WAY!." - CLARE TAUBENHEIM "STEVE HAS A WONDERFUL WAY WITH HORSES - NO PUN INTENDED!! - AND WISH HE STILL LIVED DOWN THE ROAD SO I COULD HAVE REGULAR LESSONS." - ISLA FINNEY "[STEPHEN] HAS GIVEN ME HUGE CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF SO I CAN ENTER THE ARENA KNOWING ME AND MY HORSE ARE BOTH CAPABLE OF JUMPING CLEAR. MY HORSE'S TECHNIQUE HAS GOT BETTER AND HE IS FINDING IT EASIER TO JUMP WHEN I DON’T OVER RIDE HIM. NOW THE SHOW JUMP CLEARS ARE COMING MUCH EASIER AND I’M REALLY ENJOYING THE SHOW JUMPING PHASE." - JACK STANCOMBE |
