Our
Facilities
We are based on our beautiful 12 acre property in Clackline,
just off the Great Eastern Highway. The property and surrounding
area is ideal for working with horses as it offers so many
different types of riding.
We are close to the Heritage Trail and our
property is adjacent to public open space for riding. The
horses are exposed to a range of interesting animals (donkeys,
camels, alpacas, peacocks etc) that all live in the neighbourhood,
plus our neighbour trains ponies to harness so the horses
are exposed to horses and carts going past regularly and sharing
their riding space. We also have an earthworks business down
the road so the horses are exposed to graders, diggers, trucks
ect on a daily basis.
We have access to some wonderful flat open
paddocks, ideal for first canters and for getting great forward
in horses. We also have some quite scary river gullies and
banks, a winter creek and a large open dam for water training
which Fred says is great for handing out bravery awards and
gaining horses confidence. We live on a gravel road but also
have some higher traffic areas nearby with nice safe shoulders
to safely ride on and expose the horses to traffic.
Fred’s round yard is in full shade
and there is a bench beautifully positioned on the hill over
the round yard, under a tree for optimum viewing. We also
have a 40m x 20m dressage arena for any flatwork.
Agistment wise, we offer steel and electric
yards with shelters and trees that are a good size. We also
have several post and electric sighter wire paddocks that
all the horses have access to during their stay. We also have
some heavy duty steel yards with shelters, suitable for stallions
and wild/feral horses.
The yards are on the hill above the roundyard
and all the horses have a great view of the ‘horse telly’,
being Fred in the round yard and horses being worked though
out the day. The property offers a wonderful, calm, rural
environment that all the horses enjoy. |
