As we are preparing for cyclone Alfred.

Here are some useful tips for you and your horses.

* Remove anything from around your paddock that could be a hazard with strong winds. Feed bins, rugs, stable rakes etc.
* For those on tank water, consider power cuts, so fill water containers, so you have plenty of fresh, clean water on hand.
* If you have to put a rug on your horse, make sure it is one that can rip off quite easily. Try to avoid rip stop or heavier rugs. If your horse gets caught up on anything you want the rug to rip away fairly easy.
* Don't leave halters on your horse
* I have a dog tag, with my contact details on it and I plait this into my horses mane.
* If you are in an area that is prone to flooding. Move your horses sooner rather than later. Better to be safe than sorry.
* I also have my float ready to go, just in case we need to evacuate. If you don't have a float, make arrangements with others to be able to move your horse.

Be prepared and stay safe.

Happy New Year to all.

I have been pretty quiet the past few months as I've been busily working on a new exciting program for my clinics and private lessons.

I've also been studying to become a qualified saddle fitter, which is super exciting and another layer to bring to the clinics and lessons.

So, is this your year with your horse?
Do you have goals you want to accomplish this year?
Are you wanting to grow your skills to either just enjoy riding with confidence or maybe go to a few competitions or maybe you want to get serious about competing.

I will now be offering the same creating confidence through connection clinics but I will also be offering more advanced clinics.

Watch this space as I will be posting up dates soon for the first series of clinics for the year.

As always my clinics will be affordable and offers the opportunity to meet with other like minded people and giving everyone the opportunity to create connections with other horse people.

The new clinic format will be more intimate with a maximum of 5 riders per class, offering everyone more one on one time.

Please feel free to reach out if you would like more information.
You can contact me via messenger or on 0422 404 553

One of the greatest privileges for me is getting to work with students and their horses and watching relationships and partnerships grow between horse and rider.

When I see the smile on riders faces when they have that light bulb moment is just the absolute best.

Remember why we got into horses in the first place, love and fun. Never lose sight of that.

It's been interesting to see all the posts regarding the Olympics and the word abuse is being thrown around a lot.

My question is what is abuse to you in regards to the Equestrian world?

What were the positives and negatives that you saw so far in these Olympics?

What would you like to see change?

I think this is a very important conversation with the spotlight being shone on the Equestrian world right now.

I apologise, I've been very quiet for a little while. I've been dealing with some health issues, but now coming out the other side.

I'm looking forward to re-starting the morning clinics with the first one commencing at the end of August. Please pm me if you are interested in attending. I don't have a date yet, but it will be towards the end of August on a Wednesday or Thursday.

I also have some availability for private lessons during the week.

Look forward to seeing you all soon

If you could please take a minute to support Shane, It's such a shame that EA have taken the stance they have considering it was all meant to be a bit of fun. At the end of the day, people didn't have to look.

I support Shane Rose
