SellersThat's great. I look forward to the next installments from Tik!

This series is great but it would be good to get some more substance - maybe in some follow up masterclasses on each of the building blocks. I feel that this series is just an overview (which I am sure is the intention) but I am now wanting to delve more into each block and gain a better understanding of how to work towards perfecting my skills at each step.

I am doing it daily - working through the program and absolutely loving it. ‘Ow my husband has joined me doing it’(so I had to start at the beginning again for him to catch up). The sessions are short but powerful. I think Ifa has put together a really good program that anyone can do. Thank you Ifa and NF+

I have just finished following the Tik Masterclass for Anxious and Spooky horses.  I have followed a couple of other online trainers' methods for this for a couple of years but both my mare and I just ended up getting frustrated and she even started to get dangerous when I asked her to do any sort of work - and that is only from the ground! This was the last chance saloon. Tik explains everything so clearly and precisely and the demos show it all with raw footage. Everything he said made sense to me (finally) and I was able to easily put it into practice with immediate results - small incremental improvements everyday. Bingo - my mare finally has the leader she has been desperately seeking and I feel like I am at last speaking her language. It has also worked for my young horse who was getting more and more anxious on the trails after a couple of incidents that sent him over the top e.g. loose galloping horses next to the trail.  BTW I come from the old school of dominant horsemanship (I am ashamed to admit) and in the past I have been able to get some pretty difficult horses to do things but the mare I have now said a firm "NO" to my dominant approach. Thanks to this mare I have changed how I work with all my horses and thanks to Tik I have finally found the key to successfully working with my current horses without being dominant. (If only I could apologise to those of my horses that are no longer with me who put up with me in the past.) I can't thank Tik enough for putting this Masterclass together, and Noëlle for starting this platform and getting such great trainers on board and for all content. It is life changing. Even my non-horsey husband is enjoying the Ifa Simmonds' workout and the Yoga!

This is by far the best Masterclass I have taken on how to deal with an anxious or spooky horse and I have taken a few! I was close to giving up with my very anxious and spooky mare when I decided to give it one more chance by following this Masterclass. Bingo. Everything Tik says makes total sense to me and finally my mare has given a huge sigh of relief as she now sees me as a leader and I finally feel like I am speaking her language. The biggest takeaways for me (and the things that made the biggest difference) are (1) pressure - going through the stages in the learning phase but skipping from 1 to 3/4 in the reinforcement phase.   (2) Every little try is a win. Even a half percent improvement is progress.  I can't thank you enough, Tik and my mare is eternally grateful to you!

Jessie Lochrie I agree with Susan, Even if this is not a Masterclass, please keep the camera on the subject - the horse and the person handling the horse not on the person talking.  I have the same issue as Susan with the Josh Nichols videos. Too often the camera cuts to Josh and misses the thing he is talking about - the horse.
