Gosh it has been some time since i posted!
Life and work has been super hectic. Hectic in a good way 😃

Here is beautiful Shelby. A new kid on the block that is in for training. This big beautiful boy has some pushy and spooky issues that need addressing. He has also shown some soreness signs. So ofcoarse, Grace my amazing Acupuncturist will be around in the coming days to check him over.
Updates of him to come 😃🐴

Occassionally i will change over to the English world to shock the system 🤣

It’s amazing the difference in muscles that we use between riding in a fender or western to a dressage saddle!

I love changing it up every now and again to keep me awake to posture and how we can become complacent when using the ole’ faithful gear.

Don’t be scared to change it up or try something new. Ease into it and practice. Even if it means changing disciplines or a simple gear change for the day to help improve you as a rider. Also your horse might enjoy the change of pace like mine do 🐴

Let your child have a bad ride.
I know you want to protect them from the hardships of this world.
I know you want to give them success and good experiences.
I know you don't want to see them get hurt. To see them fall. To see them fail.
But, hear me out, let your child have a bad ride.

Let them cry the tears of frustration.
Let them shake the sand out from the inside of their riding pants.
Let them face the fear building inside of them.
Let them step back on again.

Yes, let your child have a bad ride.
Let them hate the horse that challenges them.
Let them learn what fight and passion and ambition mean.
Let them realize that when they refuse to quit the horse will take the time to listen.

Grant them the joy of realizing that they are connecting with another living being.
Grant them the joy of realizing that they, although they are small, can be powerful.
Grant them the joy of seeing their hard work pay off, through the days of tears can come a love unspeakable.

Yes, let your child have a bad ride.
Afterall, life will grant us plenty of them.

TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS

Although we didn't raise a huge amount on Facebook for our EOFY fundraiser, we are extremely fortunate to have some very generous supporters, who donated straight into our bank account. All up we raised just over $1000, which is enough to stock up on winter feed for our Equus rescue horses, and to pay the farrier bills for the next month.
Times are tough, and Equus is currently in a position where we will not rescue unless we know the horse has a high chance of being able to be rehomed. It's a tough call to make, but as a small charity it's essential to us to stay sustainable.
We really want to thank all of you who donate to us, no matter what the amount. As a registered charity, donations, sponsorships and our occasional raffles are the main ways we bring in money to support our work, so thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your ongoing support.🐴❤️🐴

Sweet Theo getting a clip so he is ready for camp next weekend 😍🐴

Last week i transported this beautiful big girl, Hope, down to Oliver at EVDS in South Grafton. She was in the wars with a few things. Under a week later i have collected her and brought her home and she is feeling much better!
But check out the size of this tooth, but there was 2 of them that came home with her so she could show her owner. It still amazes me the horse anatomy and structure. I am glad she is home feeling better and it was a pleasure meeting her and her lovely owner 😃🐴

Yesterday i worked with 2 beautiful 2 yr olds who haven’t had alot of handling. Getting use to halter pressure, touching all over and some basic body language exercises. By the end, both were using that thinking side instead of reactive and coming off the head pressure and leading with me and moving with my body (sideways, backwards and forwards).
The palomino c**t gave a bit more spirit. He has a wild but such a smart spirit. Took a bit more to get him thinking but he came around and realised pressure wasn’t hurting him, he was just scared due to it being unknown.
The owner texted me last night saying when she moved them, they did really well and even the c**t had his halter taken off in paddock and stood with her for 5 or so mins before wondering off with his mate. She loved the change in him. From scared to understanding.
Was a bonus with that beautiful view.
Check out their farm stay, wedding packages and more on

These photos do not do it justice.
The peace and quiet, the fresh air and the view is the seller!

Elushia and Alfie learning to dance with each other ✨

Elushia called me 4 weeks ago with the desire to get more respect and trust from 1 of her horses Alfie. This big beautiful boy may be sweet and soft in the eyes but he had some issues with not releasing to pressure and throwing his weight around on the ground.

Not only was it becoming dangerous but Elushia started losing confidence with him, which horses can pick up.

He also had some other flaws, picking up his feet and float loading.

I have had 3 sessions with them both now at Elushia’s place and Alfie has come leaps and bounds. Elushia certainly has been doing the hard work when i am not their daily and in every lesson it shows!

He now picks up all 4 feet without a fuss.
We also started the float loading and after 1 session he walks in, moves sideways (angle load float) and stands still and waits patiently.
Elushia has also been keeping up with the respect training. Backing him up, lunging for respect, letting him stand patiently in his own space and not in hers unless she invited him in, yielding his hindquarters and some poll softening exercises.

This pair have a very strong bond. One that will only grow with direct signals and respect and trust.

I always look forward to the next session with them.

He is still yet to be broken to saddle and ridden but the groundwork needed some attention first and it has been nothing but amazing for them both 😃🐴

Was doing housework when this little legend brought his cow and lariat from near the shed to the front yard so he was in eye view. I look out and started filming and he just keeps smashing it.
He loves roping and he is learning which form suits him best. But the determination and that fist pump of celebration is awesome 👌

Was a pleasure meeting this big beautiful boy and meeting up with friends again 🐴✨ he is in a wonderful home now.

NOT EVERYONE'S GOING TO LIKE YOU.

Even if you're the kind of person who always returns your grocery cart. Or makes a batch of homemade soup for a sick friend. Or always calls your aging grandmother back.

Because you're still going to be too much for some people. Or not enough for others. It's just the way it is.

You'll be too loud. Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too intense. Too extroverted. Too introverted. Too needy. Too this or that.

You can work your butt off to be well-liked. And it still won't be enough.

But just remember, you are enough. Just the way you are.

Let's stop trying so hard to be well-liked by everyone. And start living!

Live boldly walking along the sides of those who already embrace you—the YOU you were born to be. There are people in your life right now who care about who you are on the inside and what you represent on the outside. They don't need you to be perfect. They don't care if you wear the same black yoga pants every day with the same cardigan sweater and top knot. They just want you, all of you, just the way you are today.

So, it's true. Not everyone's going to like you even when you try your hardest to do all of the things.

Just stop trying so hard.

Open your arms to those closest to you.

And be you.

Because you are enough.

Not too much or too little.

Enough.

Hey All,

I do apologise for our MIA status. Life, work and the weather have been hectic this past month!

I recently purchased a beautiful mare who is pregnant 😍 she needed a home and being a mum myself, i could not leave without her! She has settled in well and thriving on her new diet 👌

Miss Rhonda has been here for a few months getting regular work which is always fun. She is a pleasure to work with. P.s she is for sale also. PM me for details!

Also travelled down to Tamworth for the Paint Horse nationals. Was so good catching up with good friends and breeders 🐴

Lastly, the weather! It has not been easy for any of us horse and farm owners through this. Work has been pushed back or cancelled, hooves have been sore and the list goes on. But like everything. It too shall pass. Just riding it out.

Hope everyone is safe and doing well 😃

This morning i picked up this beauty for a good client of mine from the amazing Ultimate Horse Transport. Whom brought him down from Brisbane way. They met us in Uki and we took him to her home in Stoney Chute. He floated so well and has a great mind so just walked around his new home and said hello to his new big brother. Such a pleasure to transport. See you soon for some training Chaos 😃🐴
