SA C**t Starting Clinic 2026

Itโ€™s always a big week full of intense learning and personal achievements at the annual C**t starting clinic with Tom. So much fun starting these beautiful young babies of Melanie Austens.

Itโ€™s also so rewarding to watch a once timid horse girl, who came to home for help with her flighty Arab wearing all the safety gear in the world and being led by her mum (what a flash back!), grow into the confident rider she is today. Laura Dittrich seeing how far youโ€™ve come has been incredible, and we couldnโ€™t be prouder of the amazing role model and inspiring horse rider you are today.

Thanks Kelly Lillecrapp for hosting. Had to share your lovely words too ๐Ÿ˜Š
โ€œThank you Melanie Austen for the encouragement as always and the opportunity, Tom Willoughby for mentoring us and always knowing when to step us up outside our comfort zone. Watching you work with young horses, you make it look easy, and so natural. Your understanding and the way you teach us to listen to the horse, I canโ€™t wait to learn more. Laura Dittrich for the kind words and sharing your knowledge and experiences with us, watching you ride these babies with calmness and confidence is inspirationalโ€

We hope everyone took a moment for their Mum yesterday and all the Mums felt extra loved.

Below are some beautiful words from Toms uncle Greg

๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ

Itโ€™s your Mum.

Who nurtured, the tiny seed.
Who took care of your every need.
Put a Band-Aid on your knee.
Helped you when you did a wee.
Itโ€™s your Mum.

Who helped you learn to read.
Who made sure you had a feed.
Always knew if you were bad.
Sometimes kept it from your Dad.
Itโ€™s your Mum.

Who let you go your own way.
When she really wanted you to stay.
All grown up she waved goodbye.
Who might have had a little cry .
Itโ€™s your Mum.

Who seldom got the thanks she earned.
Who gave us all the strength we learned.
To go through life and face the day.
We think to late the things to say.
Itโ€™s your Mum.

Who has a special place, inside your heart.
Who knows we all someday will part.
Who loves you all the live long day.
Who thinks of you so far away.
Itโ€™s your Mum.

For the Mums.
May 2024.
Greg Willoughby.

Looking back on 2025, weโ€™re incredibly grateful for everything the year brought our way. We relocated to Benalla, Victoria, took on and trained many horses, and made countless memories travelling to rodeos as a family โ€” something weโ€™ll always appreciate.

Weโ€™re especially thankful to our SA clients who continue to send their horses over the border to us, as well as the many new VIC clients whoโ€™ve come on board. We thank you all for trusting us with your horses training.

Weโ€™re incredibly grateful for our team of horses who give us everything on rodeo road, our friends and family for their constant support, and our sponsors โ€” weโ€™re so lucky to have you.

Hereโ€™s to an even bigger year ahead.
