VB Equestrian

Chris and Robyn Brown have owned, ridden and bred horses for nearly 40 years. Chris began his equine and farm career as a young jackeroo in the 1970s, firstly at Esperance and then in the Kimberleys at Halls Creek. He learnt many skills such as breaking in, mustering, transporting, farrier work, windmill and fence repairs and working with very unruly horses. Robyn has worked with show and dressag

e horses, preparing and competing to advanced levels. Chris and Robyn still both compete regularly in dressage, basing their training work on the Portugese master, Nuno Oliviera, who they were fortunate to work with in Portugal in 1987 and also attended most of his clinics in Western Australia. We live on a 5 acre property, "Van Baalen", at Serpentine, Western Australia with our warmblood horses, whippets, cats and chooks, running a large organic vegetable garden.
