We are located in the beautiful Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia, on a 20 acre property that is being set up as a sustainable horse keeping facility.
Our horses are kept in herds, and we have a large gravel/rock loafing area that opens up into our larger grass paddocks, to optimize hoof health and keep our paddocks from being over grazed and compacted. We also run track systems for those who cannot have grass access.
We have a myriad of other animals who have found their way here over the years. Dogs, Goats, Mules, our Pig Peggy. All are kept and trained using positive reinforcement.
