Many know me as Tammy and I chose to follow my passion and love for horses and turned it into a full-time career; training, breaking, lessons, and competing on horses and ponies of all shapes and sizes. After having two beautiful girls myself, Madison and Sophie I stepped back to just my own horses. 

I love Eventing as it is such an adrenaline rush. I compete around Qld and major events in other states and take a team of horses from lower levels to higher grades and pride myself on their performance, behaviour, and their condition. I also in start the season with hacking at Agriculture and Royal shows when events don’t clash, also the odd dressage or jump competition. This means my horses must be healthy, sound, sane and looking amazing! 

Currently I have a lovely mare Arcstan Antoinette, who is a stunning 6yr grey Wb x Hanoverian/Percheron who I have had since 22months old who has been very successful taking me to Champion Adult Rider and Reserve Champion Small Show Hunter Hack at Toowoomba Royal after winning Supreme at every Ag Show prior this year. She has also just stepped up to 1* eventing and winning her first two competitions at this level.  Also have a few youngsters in the wings we bred which are all WB x TB, plus a cute little yearling part welsh pony. Plus I can’t forget my adorable pony which I rode for many years which is now teaching my eldest(2.5yr) daughter to ride.

Feeding and care is vitally important for the success of my horses. Having tried many different brands, feeds, supplements over the years I always have a few favourites and one of these is Stance Placid Rein Plus. If I have a horse that is ready to break in or coming back in from a spell it will always be added to their feed. Great to take the edge off a spooky horse, the hotter horse on show day and amazing to keep mares less sassy! I have used it on many of my top competitive horses since 2017. It allows you to work with the horse you know and not the devil you don’t.
