ABOUT our Instructor and Head Guide As an equestrian mentor, Sharon Brennan has the unusual ability to explain complex equestrian concepts in a way everyone can understand. She combines this with her ability to think laterally and considerable knowledge of the equestrian world through her own riding experiences. During the last 30 years, Sharon has competed in and won numerous championships in Eventing, Showjumping and Dressage. She was also selected for the Australian Olympic Dressage Training B Squad with ‘Gilbachtal Marmion’ in 1990. At the same time, Sharon has been teaching horse riding and horsemanship, qualifying with Horse Safety Australia as a Senior Instructor and Trail guide in 2004. She has successfully trained pupils who have reached state level in dressage and showjumping. Her involvement in the equine industry has also included being the secretary and committee member of the State Show Jumping and Dressage Associations as well as an advanced dressage judge. From as early as 1990, due to the injury of her dressage horse ‘Gilbachtal Marmion’, Sharon became determined to learn about Equine Rehabilitation. In response to Marmion’s injuries she begged Margie Amster-Herr, who is regarded as the world’s leading Equine Trigger Point Myotherapy trainer, to come to Tasmania to work with her Olympic hopeful’s leg. This then led to her fascination in finding solutions to horse injuries and behavioural problems. www.holistichorsesolutions.com Sharon’s next few years were spent creating the Natural Equine Rehabilitation and Warmblood Stud at ‘Aslans Run’ in Copping, Tasmania. Although Sharon successfully bred horses which are now winning at Grand Prix level dressage and Hack classes at National level, rehabilitating horses remained her passion. In 1998, Sharon gained her NATPM certification as an Equine Trigger Point Myotherapist while studying with Margie Amster-Herr. In fact, Margie came back to Australia to train Sharon to teach her curriculum. Since then, Sharon has trained other Australians who also went on to qualify as certified Equine Trigger Point Myotherapists. Since then, Sharon has continued to teach both children and adults how to ride while constantly developing her communication style which allows even the rank beginner to learn difficult equine concepts simply. At the same time Sharon continued to expand her knowledge in natural horse management methods such as herbal feeding and homeopathic care. As part of her desire to learn, Sharon has been proactive over the years, hosting equine specialists such as Pat Parelli, Andrew McLean and others. From hosting these clinics, Sharon has developed strong business contacts with various equine experts such as Jane Myers who is an author and clinician teaching sustainable equine property management and Dr Gaynor Ross, a leading chiropractor who wrote the Equine Chiropractic Course for Australian veterinarians and animal chiropractors. Jona McLean, Kath Hastings and Steve Rochford have also been invaluable in sharing their knowledge and expanding Sharon’s viewpoint regarding the holistic treatment of horses. Sharon is continually researching and updating information included in the Holistic Horse Solutions Course which is a pay as you go Certified Course producing Holistic Horse Solutions Consultants.
