𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Spending time with horses can enhance focus and mindfulness. Working with horses requires us to be present in the moment, paying close attention to their movements, behaviour, and our own actions. This deep level of awareness helps quiet mental distractions and brings a calming sense of mindfulness.

Whether it’s during a ride or grooming session, these moments with horses help clear the mind, reduce stress, and build concentration—benefits that extend well beyond the saddle.

If your horse displays any of these signs we recommend you scoping their stomach to rule out ulcers.

Our September Rally was a little cold and windy today, but everyone still had a fantastic time. We had flat work, poles, jumping and a super informative session on horse health from Seville Veterinary Clinic and Yarra Valley Veterinary Surgery. A huge thank you to everyone who comes along each month to support the club. It was particularly nice today to have some new friends joining us. 😊

Congratulations Bridget Murphy - Para Equestrian and the entire Para Equestrian Team. You have made us all so proud in representing Australia and you’ve been an absolute inspiration to us all. 💛💚

And just like that, we're done...

Macey was brilliant today, so confident and with me. I couldn't be more proud of her, she just lifted to another level and danced her way through the freestyle.
I think she knew she was dancing for the nation.

All three of our riders cracked the 70% today, which is such a great result for Australia.

Thank you all so so much for the love you've sent our way, it's been truly amazing. We all appreciate it so much!

Bridget Murphy - Para Equestrian doesn’t mind a challenge and neither does her pony Macey!
What a fantastic read to put things into perspective. Thank you ABC Melbourne.

Macey will be towered over by her rivals when she steps into the arena at Versailles, but rider Bridget Murphy couldn't care less.
