I have been a supporter of Mane Chance Horse Sanctuary since the start and have been observing James French’s work for some time. Being a lover of Animals I thought I would enrol for the Trust Technique Clinic which was held at The Mane Chance Horse Sanctuary. I cannot recommend it highly enough. James and Shelly are passionate about the Trust Technique and that passion was picked up by the group. James teaches you how to get present with the horses which is an unbelievable experience. James and Shelly also taught us life skills that can be used to keep us calm and relaxed in the busy and stressful world we live in. I drove back to the North West a happy and relaxed camper.

Had a most amazing and life changing weekend learning about the Trust Technique with James French and Team. Being amongst the horses was a humbling experience never to be forgotten and both my Greyhounds experienced the magic of the weekend too. James kindly taught Paddy that men were OK really and Desi grew up…..Thank you All.

I attended a Trust Technique clinic because Ive been watching the videos and I thought it would be very helpful to get some practice with the experts. It was a wonderful weekend and I feel that I learnt so much, which I will use in my work with animals. The whole experience was gentle but profound and James and Shelley do amazing work. Shortly after the weekend I attended a conference on Awakening to Animals and I couldnt stop telling everybody about the Trust Technique. If you want to develop a deeper relationship with the animals in your life I thoroughly recommend attending one of these clinics!

I attended the TT clinic at Mane Chance in June 2013, and what a brilliant weekend it was. The videos of James doing the TT are excellent, but actually being able to work with him and Shelley in person with the MC horses was such a humbling experience. I remember getting present with Lucy, who eventualy sat down beside me. I have to say that I was completely overwhelmed by this beautiful experience, and highly recommend the course to anyone who loves animals. Thank you James and Shelley. Veronica x

I just spent the most amazing weekend with James, Shelley and 7 other people at the Mane Chance Sanctuary learning the Trust Technique. It was a humbling and hugely cathartic experience and one not to be missed. If you have any interest in changing the life of animals (and yourself) for the better then there can be no better way than experiencing the bliss that you feel attending this wonderful course.
