TRAIN WITH NICKER AND WHINNY
One on One coaching & tailored programs for horse and rider
My experience and unique approach will provide the traction necessary for horses and rider to hit the ground running. I personally work with each horse & rider to help them achieve their individual goals. Early on, I identify what each client is capable of with my goal being to help them reach, then exceed, that potential. It's not the will for you and your horse be the best, but the will to prepare to be the best that makes the difference.

MY STORY
Track Record of Success
Endurance horse riding is the true test of horse and rider ability to cover distances ranging from 20km to 160km in a day. The welfare of both the horse and rider is paramount. To train a horse for these events takes time, skill and patience. I have competed at the state, national and international level. Our horses Kholonial Abigail competed for Australia in 2017 and In the same year Kholonial Amigo represented Queensland at the world famous event The Tom Quilty Gold Cup and placed 5th Junior. In 2019 Kholonial Lightning Jack was named reserve for the QLD team at the TQ. I was appointed the Chef d'Equipe for the Australian Endurance Team for the Trans Tasman event in December 2019, competing in the same event as a rider in 2009.
In 2018 Amigo has received Equestrian Australia's Best Managed Horse award at the Australian Championships & Best Conditioned award at the Queensland 160km State Championships at Stirling Crossing, Imbil.
