Testimonials
Thank you so much for your clear and prompt reply to my questions.
Client
I would like to thank you so much for all your advice and help with our unfortunate horse situation .
You have been knowledgeable, patient and empathic giving us the support we needed .
Client
Dear Alison
Just wanted to thank you for the advice you gave me regarding the horse I bought which was not as described, using the British Dressage free advice scheme. After speaking to you I sent the dealer a letter rejecting the horse and asking them to collect the horse and return my money within 14 days. They transferred the money immediately, and the horse was collected last night (6 days later)
I am so grateful, and would recommend you to anyone in the same position.
Client
Words can not express how thrilled we are with this result. We can not thank you enough, your professionalism and empathy in dealing with this incident.
Mr and Mrs Scott
Gave them a call earlier this week as have an agricultural related query & thought they might be better than the Federation of Small Business advice line which I normally use for horse/farm stuff.
I spoke direct to Alison Godwin (no call centres!)who was very helpful, explained what I needed to do & wasn’t at all pushy about getting me to use them for the work needed etc.
Thank you Harrison Clark Rickerbys & definitely worth taking advantage of this part of membership if required.
