As one chapter closes, a wild new one begins! Next week marks the end of a massive era for me. After six years of absolute dedication, grit, and more love than I can put into words, I’ve decided to hang up the keys to Harris Place. For the first time in over half a decade, I’m putting my own well-being first.
It’s crazy to think it’s been six years of retraining, pre-training, breaking, and a whole lot of problem-solving. Honestly, I’m just so incredibly grateful to have been a part of over 1,000 journeys with horses and their owners. What started as a tiny setup with 6 clients turned into a massive facility with 25 horses in work at once—it’s been a total whirlwind!
I am so pumped for what’s next, even if it’s a bit of a mystery to some. I’m finishing off my Psychology studies with the goal of opening a rehab centre. Over the last year, I’ve been juggling the books and the horses, and I’ve realised the person I’m becoming is totally pulled toward this new path. Between October and April alone, we had over 100 horses through the gates—no wonder I’m feeling a bit like a squeezed lemon!
Huge thanks to my horse family and my parents for always having my back. To Lily and Lisa—you’ve been there since day dot and honestly, without you, I’m pretty sure I would’ve gone completely crackers.
To my mentor and boss, Marty Leacy: Thank you for the endless hours you put into my education and development. You gave me everything and you owe me nothing. I’m so glad our friendship is coming interstate with me! And to the lovely Ebony Porter—one of the best horsewomen I’ve ever met. 17 years of friendship and working together has been a total blast. Thank you for being my emotional rock.
To my legends of sponsors: Woodlglen International, Tess, and Wendy—you’re basically family now. Thank you for believing in me and letting me ride (and breed!) some of the best horses in the country. I’ve got a rising three-year-old that I hope will help me find my love for riding just for me again. When you spend all day on everyone else’s horses, you kind of forget why you loved it in the first place!
To Nikki at Ped Bits and the crew at Hewitt & Whitty Winchelsea—you guys are the best locals a girl could ask for.
To every client who trusted me with their heart-horses: thank you. Without you, there was no Harris Place. But the truth is, I’m physically, emotionally, and mentally drained. I’m so ready for a challenge that represents who I am now.
I’m moving interstate, so I won’t be here physically, but the page stays open and I’m always down for a chat or to support anyone who needs it. If you need a trainer I’d trust with my life (and my horses), check these legends out:
💜 L.C Equestrian (Lily Cameron)
💜 Ebony Layla Horsemanship (Ebony Porter)
💜 Equine Performance (Mads Lee)

Thanks for coming on this crazy ride with me. For now, that’s all folks! 😃😃💜"

Calling all my red headed chestnut mare, dragon lovers -
First rodeo in comments -
First showjumping round in comments -
Xc training in comments
Harris places shake it up ( Shae shae )
I truly love this mare and find her one of the funnest Horses to have around no matter what’s happening. I’ve always got a smile on my face.
5-year-old unraced and untrialed 15hh TB mare.
I brought Shae four weeks under saddle, I have evented, show jumped, farm Work and rodeoed with this mare. She just spent 4 days on the rodeo Easter run.
She’s gritty fierce and super brave. The run posted was her first ever rodeo, first big crowd and she handled it like a pro.
Shae is simple and easy to do everything with on the ground.
Under saddle she likes a job and to always be on the go. Western / barrels / stock work / polo / polo x ect, is definitely her grove .
She dose not enjoy standing around doing nothing. Nor does she enjoy the slow dressage work. She’s got go and grit that shows in everything she does .
I am looking for someone who sees the potential I do in her. Offered for $1500 as still green in all aspects, but as she grows and matures, she will make and develop into something very special and rare .
Shae is short backed so needs a smaller rider to fit in a smaller saddle to keep her comfortable.
She requires pulse therapy 1 x a month when in full work, to keep her feeling happy and fit within her work. ( Nicole mission ) has been our green key in keeping her happy within her work.
This mare is super brave and gutsy. Not something you come across at such a young age easily.
Up to date with everything and will only be sold to the best of homes. ( I am moving and that is the reason for sale) not a mare I want to let go, but unfortunately life has other plans .
Suitable for capable experienced rider to continue producing her how they wish.
Has been ridden my jnrs also.
In work currently and needs to find her 5 ⭐️ home.
She is green on the pattern, but with potential to burn. Potentially one more barrel run on the cards for her prior to move. Other video available also at request .
$1500 located winchelsea .

For sale - Harris Place’s Duke 🤴

12yr 16.2 TB Gelding
Located Winchelsea Vic
$6,000

Duke is an absolute pleasure of a horse to have around. In his time here he was competing in grade 4 HT’s with our jnr rider and then jumping bigger tracks with other riders.

Duke has competed and brought home placings in many EA80/grade 3 competitions ready to make his step up to 95/grade 2. Competed 95cm/C grade showjumping and training up to 1.05 at home with plenty of potential for more. Super brave jumper, not phased by anything in the sj ring or out on xc. Lovely movement on the flat with basic foundations of laterals and changes and a very soft mouth.
Plenty of competition experience as well as training days, clinics, pony club rally’s.
No rear, buck or bolt, easy to catch, float, shoe ect.

Duke was sold by us to his last home with a confident intermediate rider where he has spent his last 2 years. He has been given back to us to no fault of his own but personal changes with his owners life, they are open to speaking to potential buyers about these circumstances and about duke. He passed a full PPE exam on purchase

Duke has a very soft mouth and can get a little hot at times so a confident rider is needed, but absolutely no dirt in him, just excitement. Does wind suck, collar doesn’t help. If in larger paddock (over an acre) with a friend you don’t see it, but when in a small paddock alone he will wind suck occasionally.

Well when we are quiet on socials you can guarantee we are flooded at home. A quick catch up on what’s been happening lately.

Pop over to EbonyLyla Horsemanship and catch up on video of Teddy being brought further along in the best of absolute hands. Huge thank you to you Eb. You are beyond incredible and we are super lucky to have you apart of our horse Family. 🧡Prior to making this choice, I wanted to offer Teddy a range in riders , workloads, and different multiple experiences. Our rodeo venture will bring my last box to tick before he is officially on the market.

Life has led me to make some very close to my heart choices recently. This one being one of the hardest.

We had some great lessons today down at Hexham Equestrian Centre
A big thank you to the committee for a great ran event. We appreciate your efforts and know none of it happens without you.

My main man is back!
It’s been a minute. I did ask alot as this was his second ride back in 10 weeks. However Ted always likes to impress and was complimented all day. The best patchy t**t. Was great to be back in the saddle on one of my own. 💛
We Throughly enjoyed the feedback from this lesson.
