Cobé Lodge Limited Equine Education based on: Feel - Timing - Balance

Warren and Bronwyn Cochrane have extensive experience in many facets of the equine industry which means they can offer a wide range of services including but not limited to: early education of thoroughbreds, standardbreds and sporthorses, pleasure harness, weanling/yearling handling and float training/re-training. Their philosophy revolves around feel, timing and balance to establish good communication between handler and horse and produce an obliging, light and responsive horse.

Our boy Percy is back in work for his second campaign, the first being all about experience & education.
While he is a very obliging horse that doesn’t have any major issues, Warren wants to improve his join up so that he listens and relies on him a bit more rather than operating seperately to Warren, making his own decisions under pressure.
So while he’s coming up he’ll be covering some of the basics to help with his skill set ultimately building a better relationship with his handler.

Meet Spooky, a 3yo UN-HANDLED, CHESTNUT TB filly!
We know what you’re all thinking and probably saying 😉🫣
Waz went and did a session with her at her home before attempting to transport her, that actually went pretty well given the circumstances.
She’s been with us for 3 weeks now and is making slow but steady progress. While she’s not where a younger horse would be at this stage, she is only getting better. Not rushing her allows her to remain comfortable, and in a good space to learn without regression.

So this happened today … ☺️👀

EARLY EDUCATION - out of reach??

It’s often thought that the early education has to be done all at once and is a big financial commitment BUT that’s not the only option.

We have often worked out schedules with our clients doing it “a bit at a time”!
This is not only easier on the pocket but is, more often than not, the BEST way to do it for your horse.

They cope better, are given in between times to digest their learnings and more often than not come back in a much better position to continue on with their education . You can start them early because they are just learning the basics and no stress is being put on their young minds and bodies.
It also allows us to work with and cater to individual requirements with everyone’s best interests at the forefront .
Before you know it your boy/girl is ready to go when you are and you’re not behind the 🎱.

We are more than happy to work with clients in this manner and welcome inquiries .

EARLY EDUCATION - out of reach??

We all know times are tough and the “recreational” aspects of life are often the first things to move to the bottom of the priority list. 🫤

‼️UPDATE‼️
Vin has settled in with his trainer, been in the cart, hasnt missed a beat, is happy and feedback is “Warren has done a great job and the horse could not be in better condition.” ☺️😊

Meet Vinnie the 2yo Vincent gelding!!

He has been a challenging young man that came to Warren as a desperate attempt to re-educate.

He was VERY nervy, couldn’t be caught and didnt seem to cope with anything, he was scared of his own shadow!

After his initial education (not with us), he was going in the cart but then, unfortunately, everything fell to pieces and he refused to travel forward.

He’s in his eighth week here at Cobé Lodge, thanks to a very caring & patient owner, he’s been given the chance to fulfill his potential.

It has been a very LONG process but to give Vinnie his credit, he has made daily improvements, albeit small improvements, and has not once gone backwards.

He has come to trust Warren implicitly and we’re very proud of him to get to this stage.

He’s off to his trainer tomorrow who Warren will chat to, giving useful information on where he’s at and how best to proceed.

We wish his owner much success and reward for his patience. Good Luck Vin, we’ll be watching with interest.

Rocket the 2yo Warmblood has been with us for the last week to start on his early education. His owner is taking the bit by bit approach which is a great way to go.
He’s covered the very basics of groundwork, learning to respect his handlers space, legwork to make it easier for his farrier and just a little bit of refinement for the lunging.

He’s gone home for the winter and will pickup where hes left off in the Spring with another couple of weeks..

A second re-homing that has been a long time organising and involved INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL has come to fruition this morning.

Eidolon NZ has been in our care since June 2022, he is the ultimate character and so much fun to have around. While he wasn’t a champion on the track he certainly is in every other aspect!

He was retired from racing in February 2024, we weren’t in a rush to re-home him and let him just be a horse and hang out with his mates! From experience we knew the right person would come along at the right time.

Little did we know it would be a very good friend of ours that we’ve known for a very long time, residing in ours and Don’s homeland, AOTEAROA.

Helen had ALWAYS wanted another thoroughbred but being of a similar “vintage” to us 😜 it needed to be the absolute RIGHT horse. Having no luck finding what she wanted in NZ or the right people to help with what she wanted, I mentioned that we had the MOST AMAZING boy here that she couldn’t go wrong with. Not really thinking that it would be feasible with such an expensive task to relocate him.

Helen decided to consider the opportunity.
While visiting family in Melbourne August last year, she popped up to see us overnight and met The Don!! He was his usual charming self and really liked Helen, although he is EVERYBODY’s friend!!

To cut a long story short, Helen dove in head first and started to organise bringing Don back to his homeland albeit in the South Island rather than the North!

Our darling friend left around midnight last Wednesday flying to Auckland, due to terrible weather conditions in NZ causing delays with cancelled Ferry crossings, he arrived safe and sound at his new FOREVER home this morning.

In true Don fashion he casually wandered on into his new digs, picked at the hay and grass (something he hasn’t seen much of lately), looking around without fuss and fanfare. He looked like he’d just moved down the road, not travelled on a plane and two days travel by truck to the Sourh Island of NZ!

We can’t thank Helen enough for such a huge investment and commitment to get The Don in her paddock.

We also can’t wait for our next visit home to catch up with both of our dear friends !! 💙💙💙

Plus there’s the updates and adventures you’re both going to have that we are looking forward to hearing about!!

🥰🥰🥰🐎🏇🐎✈️🚛
