You've come a long way my Friend 🫶

MR G 😎

Considering what I found nearby - 🍄👽
(Not on our property)
it really does make you think about what our horses may be ingesting while grazing, particularly in damp and shaded areas. 🌱🍄

It’s been a good reminder for me of just how important digestive health and nutritional support can be, especially when pasture and environmental conditions are constantly changing.

I’ve been using Maxia Complete by Seahorse Supplements as part of my horses’ daily feed, and I’ve been extremely impressed with the results. I’ve noticed a genuine improvement in their overall wellbeing, particularly in their behaviour and ability to settle.

Mine had been somewhat 🚀 off to the moon 🚀 for a while there… and I’m very pleased to report they’ve now returned to planet Earth. 😂🌎🐴

For me, supporting them from the inside out has made a noticeable difference. 🤌

❤️ I was privileged to attend a Monty Roberts seminar at a young age and witness a different approach to working with horses.

Watching the way he communicated with troubled horses, and horses in general, left a lasting impression. I've incorporated many of his methods into my own horsemanship over the years and still use them to this day.

RIP to an absolute legend. ❤️🤠🕊️

Join-Up® is more than a technique—it’s a conversation.

When we learn to read a horse’s body language and respond with clarity, patience, and understanding, something remarkable happens: the horse begins to choose partnership.

Join-Up® isn’t about control or submission. It’s about creating a relationship built on trust, where the horse willingly looks to you for guidance because they feel safe, understood, and respected.

Learning Join-Up® teaches far more than what happens in the round pen. It changes the way you communicate with your horse in every interaction—from leading and grooming to riding and simply spending time together.

When you understand the Language of Equus™, you begin to see your horse differently. And when your horse feels understood, everything changes.

Discover Join-Up® and experience the power of trust-based horsemanship through our courses at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center.

A little about myself...
With just shy of 30 years of horse experience, my journey has taken me from Pony Club through to spending 10 years in the Thoroughbred racing industry. I was also proud to become the first North Island HERO Educator for Harness Racing New Zealand.

I continue working with a small number of private clients during the spring/summer, specialising in retraining Ex Racehorses, and schooling of all breeds.
-The horses in training will be at a different facility. 😊

Over the years, I've also cared for my own elderly horses, aswell as those belonging to clients. It has been a privilege to have them spend their retirement years on this beautiful property, enjoying the peace and care they deserved.

Whether your horse is ready for a well-earned retirement or simply needs quality long-term care in a safe and supportive environment, we'd love to hear from you.
