Lessons & Show Preparation
I have also been doing regular lessons in Townsville on Saturday mornings, please contact me if you would like to book a lesson.
This photo of Shelly & Charlie who have regular lessons & have now started competing this year! This photo was taken as they were getting ready for their first dressage test together. They deserve a HUGE well done for coming 5th place at their first dressage comp. We made sure we were there to help out & take lots of photos. We think Shelly & Charlie have great things ahead of them!
Barefoot Beauties also helped with Charlie's presentation & turnout.

Training & Breaking in
We have limited positions horses and ponies to come to us for training.
We take horses and ponies of all sizes. Training can including leading, handling, float loading and breaking. We also offer dressage and jumping training. Fees start from $220 per week this includes paddock, hay and day to day care. Hard feed is to be provided by the owner so that the horse remains on the diet it is used to but horses are fed twice daily. The owner will receive updates on how their horse is going that often include photos and where possible video. Horses can also be shown and competed by us. We offer rehabilitation for sensitive horses or horses that have been abused. We prefer positive training methods. Horses that are getting trained or broken in do not get dropped, roped up or hobbled.
Clicker Training is also available however this is a slower process. Happy to help you with any questions you have regarding our training methods.

This is the Beautiful Aintree Dove owned by Racheal Taylor at her first dressage competition & first Hack day where she did really well. She placed in all 3 of her dressage tests (Prep test & green horse) & placed in all classes at the hack day, pictured below. These were her first ever competitions.
Mahtrix is an Arabian Stallion, pictured bottom left, also owned by Racheal Taylor (available at stud Taylor Made Horses). This was his first dressage, he went on to place in his second dressage test the following day. This was also the first time I ever rode him.
We aim to give green horses a pleasant, relaxed time at their first competitions to avoid any show associated nerves developing.
