24.01.2022 Remember amongst all the training to have fun. Remember why you started in the first place! For me it was just a pure love for horses that has NEVER changed I started this horse under saddle and our relationship continues to grow stronger. Train your horse right, so that in a right way he should go

21.01.2022 Our fun little club Mid North Coast Barrel and Sporting Club held a new event on Sunday called cowboy up. This was our first time doing the event. It was such fun it got his mind thinking and made him use his skills. I just went steady this time (hard for me I’m so competitive) but I wanted to get his mind right, do it right and give him confidence. He still came in second my clever boy. Love this horse love our club.

20.01.2022 When you get that true collection.

19.01.2022 Had such a great day at Wingham jump club today. My boy Artimus jumped like a true champion can’t wait to see what the future holds for us

19.01.2022 When your dog leads your horse for you

19.01.2022 The feeling of gaining a horses trust will never get old. When a horse allows you to sit upon their back for the first time ever with grace, this is truly magic. I love what I do and I feel honoured to work with these beautiful creatures.

18.01.2022 The difference between good and bad show jumpers

17.01.2022 We’ve helped hundreds of horses find new best friends over the years... But more so, we’ve answered thousands of inquiries. I’ll say it again like I say every ...year, in case someone out there needs to hear this... HOW TO FIND YOUR UNICORN 1. PARAMETERS: Sticking to your parameters is only hurting your search. This is like when you have a friend who says they’ll only date a guy over 6 feet tall. Would you turn down meeting your soul mate because he’s 5’11? I’ve learned from many good Horsemen over the years and the saying is true: God never made a good horse in a bad color. The number of times that people are looking for a precise height or a precise color and I think I have the perfect match for them to fulfill all their dreams, but they won’t budge 1 inch on height in either direction. I can tell you that my current 17 hand horse feels much smaller than my current 15.3h horse. It’s much more about their barrel and their neck set and then the height of their withers. Stop looking for the horse that is 5-7 years old 16.2-17.0h bay or grey gelding. You are only sabotaging your own search here. 2. WRONG QUESTIONS: When people call about horses, I tell them what kind of rider he needs and what the horse wants to do for a living. Why does NO ONE ever ask that?! They ask how fancy his trot is or how his dressage score was last weekend or how many ribbons he has or how tall he is. They don’t ever ask, Will he tolerate my mistakes? Will he make up where I’m lacking? Can I handle this horse? Does he have the same goals that I do? 3. WRONG PRIORITIES: I always teach my students this lesson. My keeper horse as a 4yo was the worst mover in the barn. Choppy trot, canter like a tractor trailer on ice, pads on his feet, and some seriously unimpressive knees. If I pulled him out of the stall for you at a sales appointment at 4 years old, you would tell me to put him away! Then he won 3 events at 5yo. At 6 he’s a dream to ride because we’ve put in serious sweat equity for three years. I’m going to burst your bubble here. Unless you’re trying to literally win the Olympics, you don’t need the best mover in the barn. Find the horse that makes you SMILE, that you want to ride every day, the one you can train. Beyond that, you can teach it to win the dressage if you work hard enough. Heck, the worst mover I’ve ever owned won a dozen upper level events and got our Bronze Medal in dressage, and if you saw him today you’d swear that was the best canter you’ve ever ridden. When you’re shopping, don’t buy for the fancy trot. Find the horse that makes you smile. 4. MAINTENANCE: The number of people who put in search ads, absolutely no maintenance or ask me if he has to wear shoes. So you’re telling me if I can find you your perfect unicorn that will make you happy for the rest of his life and you have to give him hock injections once a year, you wouldn’t do it? Because that’s about what you’re spending on your Starbucks this month. If you find a horse that will take care of you, you need to take care of it. Period. 5. VETTINGS: It’s been said by a million people so I’ll keep it brief. Vettings are a fact finding mission, not an attempt to rule out every horse you meet. No one can predict the future-I’ve had upper level horses that would have failed as 4yos who never missed an event in their lives. I’ve seen vets give two thumbs up to horses who dropped dead a week later from a heart problem. Vets are our greatest resource, but they aren’t fortune tellers. Any good vetting WILL find something. Have your trainer help you understand what is realistic when the vet jargon sounds scary. Here’s hoping that this list helps someone searching somewhere. Because I know over the years in my career, if I had stuck to my parameters and broken my rules, I would not have bought any of my eventual upper level horses. I would have missed out on so many special horses in my life, because I didn’t want a 3yo or I didn’t want him to be 15.3h or his ankles aren’t pretty. When you find a horse that you like to ride and it makes you happy, that’s really all that matters. Photo by Canter Clix

16.01.2022 Borrowed from a friend.....it’s so true! Parents, let your daughters grow up to be horse girls, because they will learn quickly and repeatedly that life isn’t ...fair, that hard work is often trumped by Lady Luck, and that every defeat, no matter how terrible, is temporary. Let them dream big and kick on. Let them learn confidence, grace and grit. Let them build big muscles and strong backs. Let your daughters grow up in the barn. Let them learn that buckets need filling and stalls need cleaning, even when it’s raining, even when it’s frozen, even when they have a different idea for how the day should go. Teach them to drive trucks and trailers and ATVs. Teach them to change tires and wrap legs and give shots. And let them leave a spur mark, or a bit rub, or a bandage bow, and let them deal with the shame of causing pain to an animal they love. Let them grow up with horses and with good horse people, because it will teach them to be humble, and to be resilient, and to be brave.

15.01.2022 Had a great day at Port Macquarie Jump Club. Both my boys were amazing. Artimus jumped like a champion in his FIRST competition in the 70cm and 80-90cm super two phase. Shae did great in the 50cm and 60cm (just starting out). Both green horses, but both angels. My heart is full of happiness tonight.

03.01.2022 Good way to spend the morning

01.01.2022 This is truly a remarkable moment for me! Remember that little pony who was doing join up with my son ready to be started under saddle? Well here she is freshly broken in with my older son on her. Now the reason this is significant is that my older son doesn’t really like riding, never has and that’s ok (we have come to terms with it ) but he felt so safe on this beautiful girl that he wanted to canter! I nearly fell over when he said this. Unfortunately my husband didn’t get the part on video where he went on to say that You are the BEST horse trainer I have ever seen Mum, you have taught this little girl so much and I feel so safe on her. awww. Who needs that on video Well prove is in the pudding and here it is. Feast away At the end of the video Tye says I wasn’t scared. LOVE IT
