Your dreams with your horse are possible.

INTRODUCING THE IN-HAND MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

For the last 25 years, I’ve specialised in in-hand work, helping people and horses achieve more together through calm, clear, and kind communication from the ground up.

I’ve shown in-hand to the highest levels in both New Zealand and Australia with outstanding success, and I bring that experience into every session I do. My passion is not only developing the horse, but also developing the handler – their eye, their timing, and their confidence in the ring.

Now, I want to share this experience and passion with you.

The Mentorship Program

This online mentorship program is for anyone working with horses in-hand that would appreciate and benefit from a mentor to give them advice, guidance, and encouragement.

It is open to all locations and all those competing in-hand as well as anyone wanting to build a deeper relationship with their horse on the ground.

What it includes:
· Group chats for questions, feedback, and encouragement
· Weekly team Zoom calls to learn, share wins, and troubleshoot together
· Clear, step-by-step training plans tailored to you and your horse
· Goal setting and accountability so you keep moving forward
· First access to group lessons and one-on-one coaching

And most importantly, the support you need to actually achieve the results and partnership you’re dreaming of

With all horses, we can:
· Develop balance, lightness, and self-carriage without strain
· Build confidence in nervous or tense horses
· Create a deeper connection so your horse wants to work with you

I also focus strongly on the details that win in the show ring:
· Ringcraft: understanding how to use the arena, present your horse to the judge, and make the most of every moment you’re being watched
· Showmanship: how you move, stand, and handle your horse so you look polished, professional, and in sync
· Turnout: from clipping and grooming to final presentation and finishing touches, I can help you achieve impeccable turnout that truly stands out.

If you have a vision for what you and your horse could become, whether it’s more success in the ring or simply a calmer, more connected partnership, I’d love to support you on that journey.

Send me a message or comment below, tell me about you and your horse, and let’s start turning those goals and dreams into reality.

Meet Handsome Leo!

This little guy is just 2.5 months old and already living his best life! So incredibly laid back - he was a perfect gentleman for the farrier and happily leads without needing mum by his side. Such an amazing temperament.
Can't wait to get him out and about with his wannabe dad, Password! These two are going to make quite the pair.

Super first lesson on Password with Kirsten Kelly today. There was so much going on - earthworks, brand new place, busy road next door - and he was just the coolest dude.

Also threw in a fancy jump or five - so stoked about this horse and excited for our journey together ❤️

Brodie did a pole clinic this morning with Lynley Schollum. He was an absolute superstar and tried so hard and I’m pretty sure he had a great time!

It’s a tough time of year for Mr Bees because he really feels the hard ground so we stick to the arena as much as we can - but things like this keep the interest and fun and also great for suppleness as they age 🙌

🎉 Exciting times ahead 🎉

We have been fortunate enough to breed our beautiful CCH Cinderella Story to the mighty Daminos, who has been successful on the NZ Grand Prix SJ circuit.

Going to be a long wait till October 🙈

And that’s a wrap!

It was a bit of a disappointing end to the 3DE getting faults in the showjumping to lose our 3rd place. BUT it’s been an amazing experience and Brodie has been an absolute superstar (it was all jockey mistakes in the SJ!) and I couldn’t have asked for a better feel over the jumps.

Off home to have a well deserved rest and come back hitting goals again next season.

Could not have done this without Carl Hodgson or the support of Kirsten Kelly Equestrian.

Also Dynavyte - 60 ml microbiome is never a bad idea!
