QLD Flooding 2011

Flex Horse Training was very fortunate and only sustained minimal damage as a result of the recent devastating flooding.
David has also been heavily involved in the supply of emergency feed for animals in need.
We are very grateful that all our horses were unharmed; however our thoughts go out to those who were not so lucky.
A big thank you to Hamish and Dave, Natalie from Equestrian Australia and Peter from ‘in the limelight’ for their work with this production.

Equitana

David enjoyed a very successful trip to the inaugural Equitana Sydney, finishing second in The Way Of The Horse - Australian Horsemanship Challenge.

Although he didn't "win", David was very happy with the progress of the young "Coolidown Credit". The pair addressed and worked through some of Credits issues and what began as an unhanded three year old, ended as a confident young horse ready to move forward with his training.

We thank Coolidowns Australian Stock Horse Stud for allowing us to work such a lovely young gelding, he sure did your stud proud. Thank you to everyone who attended Davids Body Control demonstrations throughout Equitana, David was lucky to have such enthusiastic and knowledgeable audience members.

Rhondhu Fiddlers Roc stars on the cover of the newly released handbook “Equine Emergency Rescue – A horse owner’s guide to large animal rescue”.

Roc’s calm nature and liberty training made him the ideal candidate to model the proper rescue techniques and equipment shown throughout the book.
