Who are we? Where are we located ? What services do we offer?
(9)

These are some of the questions we have just recently been made aware are not visible on our pages . Firstly let me just apologise I thought I had posted information but I myself cannot find it . Firstly Circle J Horsemanship is a small family based business located in a small rural town of Balliang East ( located between Bacchus Marsh and Geelong )

6 months ago Orin decided to take the risk and

decided to follow his passion and listen to so many opinions and start his own Equine Training business . Over the years Orin has helped so many people and there horses with small or large problems and always offered advice stepped on there horses or had a chat with the owners about possible methods to help them . Where did Orin come from . Well Orin James is 39 year old dedicated husband and father of two . Orin since the age of 11 learnt the art of team roping where he after many of nights riding his bike 15 km after school to watch other rope he was given the opportunity to learn , with the help of a family and his dedication he quickly became recognised as very competitive junior. At the age of 15 Orin was a very high money earner in open and junior competition Australia wide and was asked to leave junior competition and compete in the open category which he did and remained competitive

From then Orin has remained competitive in his chosen field taking him interstate and internationally. Since Orin was 18 years old he watched and worked with many of reputable horse trainers learning the ways of the horse , this is where Orins passion for training horses began . After many of years working as a welder the opportunity arose for him to take the risk and become a horse educator FULL TIME

Orin will only take 6 horses to work with at one time to ensure every horse has the RIGHT start . This can be anything from groundwork , starting a horse under saddle , problem solving or the competitive rope horse . Orins James methods helps any horses for any chosen discipline

I hope you have enjoyed reading a little detail about WHO CIRCLE J ARE and WHERE THEY CAME FROM

Well as many are aware we had this horse advertised for 2 months I’d say . We have been asked whether this horse trots , jumps , will he shy at a kangaroo, will we drop him to 7000 will the owner pay for a vet check , we have also been told that his education has gone backwards and he is only worth 5000 if that we have also been asked if we would lease this horse ect ect .

We were shown some messages today which we forwarded to Gibson owners who has owned this horse for 6 years he has spent $$$$$$$ on training even having over 100 hours with the top trainer Manolo Mendez that’s just to name one of the trainers this horse has worked with .

To be told today that it’s going around that his education has gone backwards since these people purchased him , is not only an insult to the owners but to everyone involved with this horse .

This horse has the best life anyone could wish for for any horse .

After many of phone conversations with the owners and us , we have decided that Circle J Horsemanship will purchase Gibson we know his worth and how cheap he was at 10,000 .

This horse was originally sold as a green broke horse 6 years ago - so I’m not sure how is education has gone backwards if he was sold as a green broke horse

So Gibson has been removed off the market and will be back on the market when we feel it’s the right time .and that’s only if want to move him on . He will NOT be 10,000

He will be a rope horse!!!!!
In this video it is the absolute first time he has seen the dummy and 2nd time with a rope .

I understand people are struggling in the current economic times , but the insults do not need to happen .

Is all these videos were todays session

Thanks
Orin & Hayley

Normally I only do these type of videos for our members only , to be honest I don’t like being infront of the camera .
But I feel this topic needed to be raised and I feel it’s more personal seeing a video rather than reading a text

Ok guys I really appreciate all the messages regarding Arnie . Please note he is with us for two weeks while we assess him . I will not answer any more messages until we know exactly what he’s all about. The owner is also being bombarded with messages please allow us some time to get to know him and I can assure you in time we will reply to all of the messages .

Most of you are aware , we have been working closely with Full Circle Thoroughbreds.

Full Circle Thoroughbreds may breed extremely large numbers of racehorses, but there priority is the welfare of the horse , from the day that horse is born it has a program , and that program is to set that horse up for success not only on the track but once they are retired from racing there future looks so much brighter .

From weaning the horse is given the foundations necessary for a positive future .

During the horses racing career and there spell time they are ridden in low leval riding whether it be flat work , jumping work , trail riding ect , swimming program or popped on the walker . There health and fitness is always number one

These horses do have 2/3 weeks off completely but they are ridden consistently during there spell time from racing . Why is that ? This prevents damage to there respiratory system , bone density ect ect the percentages of loss to them just sitting in the paddock is unbelievable, this has been proven on many of studies of the athlete of the racehorse . I could talk so much about this as I find it so interesting but I will go back to the point of what Circle J Horsemanship and Full Thoroughbreds are trying to achieve .

And that is the repurpose of the racehorse , once they are retired from the track we bring them back into work and try and place them in there forever homes .

ZAPURBLY was one of them and we have Sascha arriving in 3 weeks for a 4-6 week stay and then we will have her available for rehome I will post some videos that I have received of Sascha she seems very lovely and has ALOT of training . She has had 12 months off hence the reason of us bringing her back in work

Sasha is 14 years old

Owner has reduced this horse .

Cheap horse send me a message he won’t stay long at this price if he does I’ll be shocked
10000

Would make a perfect pony club mount , adult riding , trail riding , team penner , roping prospect , obstacle horse you name it

No buck no bolt no rear - easy keeper can paddock him with other horses . Ground manners perfect , slow Rockin horse canter , leg aids , sidepass , slide stop , spin just an allround good horse .

11 years old well bred registered QH

Circle J are NOT taking bookings for this year
Booked out

Dottie came to us 6 weeks ago off the same property as Kevin .

Although Dottie had more handling than Kevin she was still very stand offish and unsure of us .

Fast forward 6 weeks she is now well and truly under saddle , this video is my son riding her for the first time due to me dealing with an injury .

We look forward to following Dottie’s journey with her owner she is such a sweet mare who we believe will be a fantastic riding horse in the near future .

Thanks to Logan for stepping up and helping us out .
