04-Jul-2017


Based on a farm in Waipara North Canterbury, I am a qualified Veterinary Nurse and Kinesiology Taping practitioner and have been producing quality horses up through the grades for many years. I have helped breed many superb all-rounders who have gone off to great success with their new owners under the Dunrobin Stud name.​

 

I have studied and trained under many great trainers. Spending many years learning from Horsemanship expert and winner of 'Way of the Horse' 2012 Ken Faulkner, Renown NZ Natural Horseman Bryan McVicar and former Olympian Vaughn Jefferies. I am currently training with former 4* Eventer and Elite ESNZ Coach Andrew Scott for Jumping, and Eventing NZ High Performance Squad Trainer & Grand Prix Dressage rider & trainer Penny Castle for Dressage.

I owe a great deal of gratitude to all of whom were involved in setting me on the the right path in producing quality horses for the future. This in turn has allowed me to run a successful business in the coaching and education of riders and the professional schooling of both horses and ponies of all sizes, breeds and ages.

Also bringing in PEMF Blanket Therapy Treatments and Kinesiology Taping Equi-Taping backed with my Veterinary Nurse background to bring an all-round conditioning and training program based around the well being of the horse and further education of the Owners/riders through a more Holistic approach

Competing successfully at 2* level and up to 1.30m SJ on all self produced horses in NZ, I was asked to join Judy Bradwell (NZ Olympic Selector) in her UK yard during the summer session of 2016. I had the opportunity to compete all around the UK on young and inexperienced horses and also produce two 4 yr old ex-racehorses for the RoR circuit, where they were very successfully campaigned. I was never unplaced and had many wins on the multiple horses ranging in Dressage, SJ and Eventing at International and Championship shows.

To name a few, Placing 5th in the International Chatsworth Horse Trails Burghly Young Event Horse section against many big names, Placed in the International Yorkshire Championship Horse Trails against many top riders where I was one of very few to jump double clear and received positive compliments from the officials and commentators.

Also the horse I was schooling for the Burghley Young Event Horse placed Top Mare at Burghley 2016.

 

I offer services of coaching and educating, Schooling of horses, Starting, Sell on Behalf, PEMF Blanket therapy treatments and Kinesiology Taping Equi-Taping from my base in Waipara.
