Who are we? Where are we located ? What services do we offer?

Performance Horse Trainers ( Rope horses)
Training ,education and sales
We also work closely with selected rescue associations , giving horses in need a second chance . These are some of the questions we have just recently been made aware are not visible on our pages . Firstly let me just apologise I thought I had posted information but I myself cannot find it . Firstly Circle J Horsemanship is a small family based business located in a small rural town of Balliang East ( located between Bacchus Marsh and Geelong )

6 months ago Orin decided to take the risk and decided to follow his passion and listen to so many opinions and start his own Equine Training business . Over the years Orin has helped so many people and there horses with small or large problems and always offered advice stepped on there horses or had a chat with the owners about possible methods to help them . Where did Orin come from . Well Orin James is 39 year old dedicated husband and father of two . Orin since the age of 11 learnt the art of team roping where he after many of nights riding his bike 15 km after school to watch other rope he was given the opportunity to learn , with the help of a family and his dedication he quickly became recognised as very competitive junior. At the age of 15 Orin was a very high money earner in open and junior competition Australia wide and was asked to leave junior competition and compete in the open category which he did and remained competitive

From then Orin has remained competitive in his chosen field taking him interstate and internationally. Since Orin was 18 years old he watched and worked with many of reputable horse trainers learning the ways of the horse , this is where Orins passion for training horses began . After many of years working as a welder the opportunity arose for him to take the risk and become a horse educator FULL TIME

Orin will only take 6 horses to work with at one time to ensure every horse has the RIGHT start . This can be anything from groundwork , starting a horse under saddle , problem solving or the competitive rope horse . Orins James methods helps any horses for any chosen discipline

I hope you have enjoyed reading a little detail about WHO CIRCLE J ARE and WHERE THEY CAME FROM

🐴 At Circle J Horsemanship, we like to keep things REAL! 🤠

We might not have all the fancy moves, the flash facilities or all the bells and whistles, but there is one thing we will never compromise on…

We let horses be HORSES! ❤️

Here at Circle J, our horses aren’t just another number coming through the gate.

We spend time getting to know their personalities, their quirks, what makes them tick and what makes them happy. We treat every horse in our care as though they were one of our very own.

And sometimes, after a good training session, they deserve nothing more than to have a roll in the sand, stretch their legs and just enjoy being a horse!

🤣 Now, let us introduce you to PO!

We thought we’d give Po a chance to have a nice relaxing roll in the sand and kick back after his session.

Well… Mr Playful Po had OTHER ideas! 😂🐴

Apparently, nobody told Po this was supposed to be relaxation time!

And you know what? We wouldn’t have it any other way!

Because to us, horsemanship isn’t just about what a horse can do under saddle. It’s about understanding the horse standing in front of you, building a relationship and enjoying their individual personalities.

No fancy show. No pretending. Just real horses, real personalities and real horsemanship.

❤️ Circle J Horsemanship — where horses are allowed to be horses!

🔥 CHECK THIS HORSE OUT! 🔥

Our very first horse has arrived for our Circle J Horsemanship Sales Preparation Program, and what a horse to kick things off with!

We have always said that we will only put our name behind quality horses, and you really can’t go past this mare!

Meet FLAME ❤️

Flame has just turned 16 years old and has had almost 5 YEARS OFF!

Yes, you read that correctly — almost five years without being ridden!

Now watch this video of her very first session with us after all that time off.

You simply cannot ask for much more than this!

This is exactly the type of horse we are proud to represent through our sales program.

Our plan is to spend the next two weeks working with Flame, getting to know her under saddle and preparing her for the market.

After those two weeks, she will be available for viewings, provided everything continues to progress as expected.

❤️ A GREAT HOME IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST!

Flame is a very much loved mare, and finding her the right home is our priority.

Quality horses. Honest representation. The Circle J standard.

Keep watching because this beautiful mare will be coming to market very soon!

❤️ WHY HAVE WE CREATED THIS SERVICE?

Because we genuinely want to help people enjoy their horses!

We’ve seen so many situations where a horse and rider are simply misunderstanding one another.

Sometimes a small adjustment in how you’re asking your horse, your timing or your approach can make a world of difference.

Our goal is to help you understand not just WHAT to do, but WHY you’re doing it.

We want to make practical horsemanship guidance more accessible, no matter where you live.

⏰ TURNAROUND TIME

Please allow approximately 5–7 business days for your personalised recorded response once your completed questionnaire, video footage and payment have been received.

⚠️ Some behavioural or safety concerns require in-person professional assistance. Remote consultations cannot replace hands-on assessment where it is needed.
