“This Silo Mural pays tribute to Harold Thomas Bell, a local boy from Walpeup, a little town in the north west part of Victoria, who became a trooper of the 4th Australian Light Horse Regiment after using his cousin’s last name, Wickham, to disguise his true age to enlist and fight in World War I.

This boy was shot in the leg during the Battle of Beersheba on October 31 1917 and died of his wounds the following day. He was just 16 years old. Located in the town of Walpeup on the Mallee Highway, this piece was painted on the GrainCorp silos and allows viewers to reflect, and to pay respects to the bravery and sacrifices made during the war.”

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
We will remember them.

Foundation 1 - April 6 & 7
I know I say this every time… but it’s true!! We loved working with this group - lots of self awareness and reflection. Everyone thinking about how they can better connect and support their horse and create a deeper partnership together.
Well done ladies 👏👏

Ken Faulkner Cowboy Dressage Clinic - March 2 & 3

I got A LOT of photos so I’ve had to do two posts!

As always, these students were absolutely amazing with so much covered over the two days. Matt & Tyson were lucky enough to participate too.
Loved watching everyone’s progress and problem solve their way through challenges. My favourite was the support and encouragement they offered each other throughout the weekend. Well done everyone 👏👏

FOUNDATION 1

A huge weekend of learning, reflecting, awareness, leadership and accountability for these lovely students and their horses. Most had not worked with us before so I can’t even describe the joy and pride we felt for how far they came over the two days.
Working with horses shows that relationships are always underpinning all that we do. This group worked so beautifully together, supporting one another and making so many connections between horsemanship and how they show up in the world. Great conversations and great people!
Well done ladies 👏👏

Back to GREEN Paddocks… Who’s having to manage laminitis prone horses again? 🙋‍♀️🙈 Feels like Queensland!

Just a little bit of afternoon fun 🙈#besthorseintheworld #horsemanship #horsemanshipaustralia #cowboy4wd_85 #rixs_tricks

Thinking about the cues we create within our training…

Matt may have been a little unhappy that I was spoiling his horse 😂🤷‍♀️ But let’s be serious… She’s our honeybee 💖 Who else has a smoochy mare who loves to be loved? #honeybee #gorgeousmare #palaminosofinstagram

A little bit of Friday night fun!

Beautiful morning 🤩 #bestjobever #birdsong

Lady loves a good scratch!!

Following on from yesterdays TEAMWORK post... Here's a little snippet from our current colt start. This is Nightwing’s first ride - it’s how most of the first rides go. As you can see Ken is providing support helping Nightwing to feel safe and giving him assurance from the ground which is what he is used to feeling. He's able to reassure Nightwing if he starts to feel overwhelmed and help him work through those emotions keeping Matt safe. Using this time honoured method is of huge benefit to the horses and to the safety of those working with them. They are able to progress quickly as cues learned through ground skills are transferred to his back in the fist ride. Matt is often putting the first few rides on. His skill of allowing horses to feel him on board yet giving horses the leadership and assurance needed to know they are doing great is a serious skill and is paramount to helping horses through the starting process. Working in partnership with the horse allows them to feel like they are part of the team. They can participate and give rather than having it taken from them. There’s a very different energy in that. The added bonus of having 2 riders is that horses are much better prepared for their future riding career. They are less startled by a new riders change in balance, feel, timing or weight and become far more experienced and confident in a shorter period of time. Our son Tyson has started working with us too and has become a valuable asset to our team. I love watching this process evolve as by the time we are handing these beautiful horses back they are ready for the next exciting chapter of their journey!

Seriously… these kids 😂😂

I wanted to share this sweet session Lillian had with Matt last night 🥰 I love Matt’s teaching style and how he is so considerate to both horse and human. He allows them to feel supported through the struggle and steps in when needed but doesn’t take the experience away from either party. Matt has worked hard on being a great student and understands the huge responsibility it is to be a teacher. He has the opinion that if his student isn’t understanding then he needs to change his delivery. On a side note… for all those Foundation 1 students wanting to practice ground skills 1-3; Lillian has done a lovely demonstration for you 😜

Who got flowers today? I didn’t either 😂😂 But… what I did get is this stunning custom made halter especially for me - chosen by Matt!!! Our friends over at Halter Heaven definitely came home with the goods! Love your work guys 😘🙌 #besthaltersever #betterthanflowers #adelaidehills
