Part time Casual Staff

Kaylon Higginbotham  - (Kay) Has returned from the US to take Riding and Jumping lessons in her spare time whilst studying at University.  Kay worked a few summers for us in the past and helped us out last year so we could get away on holiday!  It is great to have her back with us as brings heaps of enthusiasm, a great personality and awesome skills!

Helpers

Kiri Baxter - Kiri first heard about us some years agao whilst attending an equine course as we offered work experience.  She has worked in the equine industry doing pre training and riding track work.  Kiri loves working with people as much as she loves working with horses and is an invaluable help especially during holiday programs - someone has to take out the treks!

Feel free to call us “Mum & Dad”. Stan my husband and I have been helping out Erika and Stan with walking treks and getting horses ready for many years now.

We are not horse people ourselves but certainly have a respect and affinity with them. Being a family business and with safety being the first priority, we are more than happy to help out on the big treks and enjoy the additional exercise it gives us. We also love the interaction with people from a variety of other countries and cultures.  So we look forward to meeting you too!

We may be retired but we keep ourselves very fit!


Hi everyone! Between us we have over 60 years experience with horses from breeding, training, racing, showing, trekking to general health and welfare. They are undoubtedly our greatest passion and we love to see the joy they bring to so many people both young and old.


Hi, I'm Stan and I am a builder by trade (these skills have been put to use a lot around here as there was nothing on the land when we started) but I had my first pony “Flash”at 7 years old and have always “messed” around with horses since then. In the past I have trained and breed my own Thoroughbred race horses and have always taken a keen interest in both harness and galloping racing.

Apart from new building and maintenance around the farm I take an active part in the business through our pick up and return service,greeting the customers and getting the treks underway as well being responsible for the horses health and welfare.


Hi I'm Erika and I had my first horse when I was 17 and taught myself how to ride (not very pretty!). I gave up riding for 20 years and once I got back into it I never looked back. I now have a beautiful pinto called “Cadbury Marble” that I bought as a yearling who has since had two foals called Chip and Harley.  Harley is still a baby, but hope he will turn out just as good as Chip at dressage and jumping!

We have shown both in-hand and under saddle and accumulated numerous ribbons including a Champion and Reserve Champion. Unfortunately my little darling did not grow to her estimated height and remains a pony.

My role is one of managing the horses, staff and helpers as well as marketing, instructing and taking out treks and wagon rides.

Our greatest pleasure is to see the smiles on peoples' faces during and after their rides! So we look forward to seeing you soon...
