About Narrawin Stud
about the horses
and about me
Narrawin Stud, founded in 1995, is home to gaited horses from breeds including Paso Fino, Icelandic, gaited Morgan and others. I have experience with raising, riding and educating these and several other gaited horse breeds.
Aside from gaited horses, I have a keen interest in classical dressage and historical horsemanship, including the intersection of martial arts and horse riding.
About Narrawin Stud
The Gaited Horse stud was established in 1995. Over the years, the focus changed from Peruvian Paso Horses and American Saddlebreds to Paso Finos, Icelandic Horses and Morgans. Working with several breeds over a long period of time has provided valuable experience and knowledge.
More..About me
I have been involved with horses since I was in school. My first horses in Germany were Haflingers. After coming to Australia, I have competed in many disciplines, mainly on my Australian Stockhorse, but also with several other horses I have owned over the years.
More..About my training philosophy
I have spent a lot of time with horses and have had the opportunity to ride and train many horses of diverse breeds. I have tried the ideas and methods of some horsepeople, tried out many of my own ideas, and after making many mistakes, have come up with a synthesis of concepts that work well for me.
