Set your horse up for success, bring out their best!
"You can never rely on a horse that has been educated by fear.
There will always be something he fears more than you.
But when he trusts you, he will ask you what to do
when he is afraid.”
- ANTOINETTE PLUVEL

Training Programs Include:
Spacious paddocks with electric or post and rail fencing.
Ad lib grass hay, as necessary.
Rug changes as needed (rugs to be provided by owner).
PLUS... SO MANY OPTIONS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TRAINING PROGRAM!
+ Keep your horse healthy from the inside out!
During their stay your horse will receive a balanced, high fibre, low sugar diet including premium grade vitamin/mineral supplements.
A good diet ensures we can get to the root cause of any behavioural issues, sets your horse up to tone that topline and helps minimise stress and anxiety.
Feeding up to 3x/day and happy to cater for any specialised health requirements, additional additional supplements can be added by request (fees apply).
PLUS... if your horse hasn't had a dental check up, hasn't worn a bridle before or is due for their regular appointment, this can easily be arranged (examination fees apply, no charge for bringing in/out and we'll be there to 'hold your horse's hoof' during the exam!)
AND if you'd like a more in depth exam or your horse needs sedation, a veterinary dental exam can also be arranged (service fees apply).
PLUS... does your horse show discomfort during grooming, girthing or saddling?
Stomach and hind gut ulcers are unfortunately common in our equine friends and can become especially prevalent during times of stress, or may have developed in the past. Left untreated they can cause mild to severe discomfort and a wide range of behavioural issues on the ground or under saddle.
If you'd like to rule out ulcers as a potential cause of unwanted behaviour or discomfort, a veterinary gastroscopy can be arranged on the property (veterinary fees apply). Pre-exam protocols can be followed at no extra charge and we'll be with your horse every step of the way, during and after the exam, keeping you updated as we go.
Our paddocks are well managed, rested and rotated regularly, to ensure worm burdens are controlled as best as possible.
An initial fecal egg count will be taken from all horses on arrival and wormer administered subject to results.
+ Muscle maintenance!
As your horse enters into a regular training routine and starts to develop physically, just like after a workout, it can be expected that they may experience some tightness or soreness through their body. This is carefully monitored and training strategic to maximise progress but minimise discomfort.
Regular grooming and basic release and massage, relieves tension and is also a great experience!
Body work assessments & treatments by an experienced & qualified professional, using a combination of myotherapy, osteopathy and laser acupuncture, can be easily arranged - if there is suspicion of any underlying physical issues, strains or soreness or to keep your horse progressing to the fullest during their program, this is a great option.
+ Regular Hoofcare!
Your horse's hooves will be maintained on a regular hoofcare schedule at no extra cost (~6 weekly intervals, trims only) with a patient, professional farrier, including bringing your horse in and out. Combined with training techniques, any hoof handling issues can be addressed while building positive experiences for routine healthcare.
Do you have a fabulous farrier you'd like to use during your horse's stay? We're happy for your horse to stick with their regular routine if you'd prefer and your current farrier services the area.
PLUS... no hoof, no horse, no problem.
Hoof issues and angles can affect posture and movement. If you'd like to rule out any hoof issues that might affect your horse's training or comfort or have a horse needing corrective or specialist work, professional assessments, x-rays and gait analysis can be arranged (specialist farriery fees apply).
+ Saddle fits & recommendations!
Once your horse has been upgraded to the sports edition or your young horse is now all grown up, you might want to start the search for your perfect saddle or make sure your current saddle still works for your both!
Assessments can be arranged onsite (consult and fitting fees apply) and we're happy to be there and pass on any information if you're unable to be.
+ TWO 1:1 sessions!
When it comes time to take to be reunited with your equine partner, learn how to operate and understand the control panel to ensure you can continue making progress at home! These extended 1:1 sessions allow you the time you need to feel confident and comfortable together. Additional sessions are welcomed and can be added as needed (fees apply).
And don't worry, we LOVE hearing about all horse and human students so if you get stuck at home - the door is always open! With a regular clinic and workshop schedule there is always a chance to brush up or refresh your skills!
