23.01.2022 Very short notice - tonight is theory night a home. The topic is "The natural crookedness of the horse", something every rider needs to understand. Starts at 7pm, no cost for our students, BYOG and we will be getting take away pizza. Will provide more notice next time - was a last minute plan.

18.01.2022 Hi to All. Please contact me by pm if you are interested in attending a show prep clinic with Sal Scott. Date to be set once we get feedback on interest. Will include trimming, plaiting, quarter marking etc.

16.01.2022 Thank you Cathy for the great photos from our recent clinic :) Nothing like humans pretending to be horses to understand communication from our horse's perspective, and Victor doing a great job on the "teeter totter" !

16.01.2022 And Patsy taking on the bending poles, with Lian conquering the box.

14.01.2022 Save the date, 25th and 26th March (Easter) if you want to have some fun with your horse. 2 days of playing with obstacles - boxes, bridges, tarps, poles, barrels, jumps, dragging things, carrying things and what ever else you can think up. We'll start from the ground and then have a go under saddle, and then see how we can use these obstacles to refine our communication with our horse. We will also find time for a liberty session. Great if you are interested in working equitation, if you have a horse that needs to get a little braver, or you just want to have fun and do something different. $160 Friday only, or $300 for the two days. Call Mark for more info on 0407 941203 or email [email protected]

14.01.2022 Save the date....23rd and 24th April - a great opportunity to attend a two day working equitation clinic with Gill Kennerley, founder of working equitation in Australia. We will be hosting this at our property in Wilberforce - lots of obstacles and indoor arena for schooling. Book in quick as spots are limited and filling fast. Please pm on Facebook or call Mark on 0407 941203.

14.01.2022 New obstacles down under the shade, ready for 25th and 26th March. A few more to build, looking forward to the clinic....lots of fun playing with horses on the ground and under saddle. Great cross training, good exposure for our horses, and a great way to develop feel, responsiveness and partnership. Spots filling fast, so don't forget to let us know if you are interested in coming. Phone Mark on 0407 941203, or email [email protected].

10.01.2022 Two Day Horsemanship Clinic - 1st and 2nd October Getting a better understanding of "yields" from the ground and under saddle, that help form the foundation for a supple horse, and all your lateral work as you progress your training. For more advanced horses and riders, improve what you have in place to help lighten your horses shoulders and increase your ability to influence the hind quarters. For greener horses and riders, get a better understanding from first principles on this topic. Groups will be small and based on level of horse and rider. $160 per day including overnight accommodation for your horse. All weather facilities including indoor school plus natural settings. Contact Mark for more information on 0407 941203

08.01.2022 Two Day Horsemanship clinic - Sunday 12th and Monday 13th June, Wilberforce. Suited to those wanting to improve communication with their horse, their knowledge of horsemanship, or wanting to have some fun. Use of obstacles will help those interested in working equitation, we will have a play with some dressage tests, and explore ground work. Format as follows - Sunday will start with a ground work demonstration followed by a group session playing with obstacles from the groun...d. After lunch there will be small group lessons under saddle, followed by riding over obstacles. Monday will start with a dressage test riding demo, highlighting things to consider and focus on as your ride the test, followed by private lessons under saddle. In the afternoon, you will get to ride a dressage test of your choice....twice!! A chance to improve after feedback :) For those interested, there will also be a prep and protocol day on the previous Friday 10th June, planned for some students that will be competing Saturday at the DNSW Winter Festival. The Friday is open to any one interested in participating, plus welcome to come along and watch on the Saturday. Cost $300 for Sun/Mon. Please call Mark on 0407941203, or PM on face book. Look forward to seeing you there!

07.01.2022 Spider doing a fantastic job at his second outing, much more relaxed than the first to pull off two really good tests. Time to move up a level now he is feeling safe.

03.01.2022 More clinic shots - Alison and Milo doing a great job of demonstrating slick float loading, and Sid showing how to do it backwards at liberty....

01.01.2022 looking forward to seeing those who are attending at the Easter camp - new obstacles to play on and grass riding area freshly slashed. Indoor ready in case of wet weather. If you are not sure of what to bring or have any questions, send me a message or give me a call. Cheers. Mark
