The Teachers

We know no one comes to a "Meet the Team" page for an equestrian centre to learn about people, so we jumped to the point and here are our most important members.

but if you do care about us, we're at the bottom

Advanced Liberty

Arrie

10 year old

Arabian Mare

14.1hh

"Arrie is the OG who started the Team we have today. She's used for advanced students due to her ability to fine-tune your foundational skills and elevate your horsemanship to the next level."

Confidence Booster

Snowy

5 year old

Arabian Gelding

15hh

"Gentle in mind & spirit, Snowy looks after all his riders. With his forgiving nature he makes for the perfect beginner's horse."

Unicorn Pony

Pan

3 year old

Paint Horse x Quarter Pony Gelding

14.3hh

"Everyone's best friend, Pan is always eager to please and never says no to some fun. He's a favourite amongst kids and always looks after his little humans."

Irish Gentleman

O'Malley

5 year old

Thoroughbred Gelding

16.3hh

"O'Malley is our gentle giant. A big boy with a bigger heart. He offers lessons to more experienced riders ready to step up to a horse with a bit more power behind what they do."

Healing Heart

Simba

16 year old

Quarter Horse Gelding

15.1hh

"Having seen the harsher side of humans, Simba came to us broken and used. He's spent his time here healing and rediscovering how to connect with people. Part of his journey is waiting for the "Yes", which is why, with your help, we offer him as many different ways to get involved as we can."

Resident Wizard

Merlin

Yearling

Stock Horse x Quarter Horse Gelding

14.2hh

"Our first foal, Merlin's training has consisted of positive reinforcement and clicker training. If you have a spare moment, feel free to wander over to his paddock and give him your best scratches!"

On Maternity Leave

Belle

4 year old

Stock Horse Mare

15hh

"After giving birth to Merlin, Belle's been given an extended maternity leave to help her heal and recover as raising Merlin was no easy task! She is currently undergoing light training to slowly bring her back into work."

The Humans

Tylah Hearn

Head Trainer/Coach

"Tylah's been busy training client's horses and ours for a number of years now. Her approach is one where evidence-based methods meet connection-based training. Her credentials can be found on our Behavioural Training page. She looks forward to meeting and working with you and your ponies!"

Kaylah Hearn

Social Media & Admin Support

"Belle's mum/Merlin's grandmum, Kaylah has over 20 years' experience with horses, is studying a coaching certificate, and has an interest in nutrition both human and equine. You'll see her handiwork in our nutritional analysis service and she is always available for any questions/bookings."
