Salt Horsemanship

Hi everyone it’s been a while and we were hoping to be able to put a positive post up but unfortunately things are still not great and my neurologist has told me I have to wait another 6 months before they will look at trying something else. Unfortunately the Ketamine infusion wasn’t a success and basically did nothing for me. So I’m really sorry as I know you are all keen to come to a clinic but sadly it’s not looking like anything will be happening any time soon. I am so sorry I don’t have better news and I can’t tell you all how much I appreciate your messages and support at this hard time in mine and my family’s life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

We hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and you are enjoying yourselves and now have some time for your horses 😊🎄🐴 cheers from Kev and Bec.

We hope you all are getting out and about with your horses now that the weather is getting better (except it seems on weekends 🤔🙄). It would be lovely to see some photos or comments from you since we haven’t been able to catch up with you while Kev is recovering from his surgery. He is still battling on and will be having some treatment in the coming weeks so fingers crossed it helps him enough to get him back to his normal routine 🤞🏼🤞🏼.
Our horses are all looking amazing. Thank you to Southern Cross Feeds (Peter McGivern) for your great feeds that make them healthy inside and out.

I’ll start the photos with Louie looking beautiful having his feet trimmed by Adam our son 😊.

It's been kind of bad timing with Kev's recent operation but we are so proud and excited to announce that we are Brand Ambassadors for Southern Cross Feeds. We have been using their products now for a few months and are so thrilled with the results that we are getting. Not only have our horses thrived on the products, it is also so easy to feed. We have been dealing with Peter and he has been amazing with matching the right feed with each horse.

Things have been a bit slow on the Salt Horsemanship front. Kev is making small improvements in his recovery after his hip replacement, not at all as positive as we had hoped for. A massive thank you to all of his valued clients for all of your kind and thoughtful well wishes and support - It has really helped him soldier on through this tough time 💕

Kev is home and doing well. It’s going to be a slow road to recovery but when you think of what they have done to his hip it is amazing that he is up and getting around! Thank you to everyone for your well wishes and support over the last week. We both really appreciate it ###x.

Kev is doing great after his operation 👏🏻👏🏻. He took a long time to come back to the ward last night but after 4.5 hours (at 8pm) he finally was back, hungry but still very sleepy!!
This morning he is bright and well. Sitting up in bed and he has also just had a physio session which saw him up out of bed taking a few steps with a frame!! His pain is relatively low which is so exciting. More physio this afternoon which will have him out of bed again and walking further but on his crutches.

“Important Announcement”

This is to let all of my clients/friends know that I have been given the go ahead to get my other hip replacement. As most of you know I have been trying my best to keep going but unfortunately it has gotten to a point where I can no longer put up with the chronic pain. Over the past year or two I have been dealing with the constant pain in my hip and this has been a massive fight both physically and mentally. To say I have been fighting some major demons mentally would be an understatement and unfortunately it has taken its toll on both myself and my family. So I am letting everyone know that all of my upcoming clinics,lessons and horses to come in for training will be canceled and all money will be refunded. I am truly sorry for this but I need to look after myself and take the time to heal both physically and mentally. I am not sure what the future holds but in saying that I will be fighting hard to get back to and even become better than what I am right now. So from the bottom of my heart I would like to thank each and everyone of you that has supported me throughout my journey so far. I couldn’t have done it without you all.
Till we meet again “Stay Safe, Ride Well & Enjoy your time with your Horses”

Another amazing 4 days over in Tasmania! I would just like to say how proud I am of all the horses and riders I got to work with either with lessons or the 2 day clinic! Yet again I am blown away by the support I have in Tasmania I thank you all from the bottom of my heart! Words cannot describe how you make me feel about being able to help you all with your horses journey! A massive thanks to Sheryl and her family for everything I can’t thank you enough! Also thank you to Sue for the use of her beautiful facility that is “Violet Banks “ and to Nic for her amazing photos you’re awesome! And to everyone who brought food just to make us feel like we’re all part of a little community thank you all. Till next time “Stay Safe, Ride well & Enjoy your time with your Horses”

Great day today with our 1 Day Horsemanship Clinic. Well done everyone, you all did a great job and it was great to see everyone doing so well 😊.

It’s been another busy few weeks here at Salt Horsemanship! Four awesome days over in Tasmania consisting of 2 days of lessons and a 2 day clinic. Then we had another 2 day clinic with the Colac Adult Riders and finally a 3day obstacle clinic at Burong! I am blown away by the people and horses that come and support me and how everyone is so determined, inspired and driven to be a better person for their horses! Of course none of this happens without the awesome people who help me organise these events and allow me to use their beautiful facilities. So a very big thank you firstly to my wife Bec you work tirelessly to make sure everything runs so smoothly and then Sheryl over in Tasmania I really don’t think I could do it without you both, also to Sue at Violet Banks and Tony and Fran from Burong and Jen from Winchelsea a big thanks to all of you for allowing us to use your awesome facilities.Would also like to thank our generous sponsors who we are proud to represent Southern Cross Feeds and also Whoa Steddy Neddy hay nets. Till next time “Stay Safe, Ride Well & Enjoy your time with your Horses”.

The sun is really starting to warm up now and so is the second group ☀️😁

Group 1 did an amazing job after their frosty start 😊

Day 1 of our 3 Day Obstacle Clinic off to a chilly start. It’s great to see so many keen and dedicated participants on these fresh mornings 🥶❤️.

Hi guys, it’s Bec here. Letting you all know that Kev has just had a procedure on his right hip in hospital that will hopefully give him some pain relief for up to a year. Fingers crossed it has been successful as this will allow him to do his job without the ongoing pain that he battles each day 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼❤️❤️❤️

Another great few days working with awesome people and their horses! Started with a rally/mock competition at the amazing facility that is Grandview Park Mountain Trail on ANZAC Day. I know I say it a lot but it’s true and I mean every word. I am so proud of everyone that attended the rally it was a day filled with people doing amazing things with their horses. The competition showed me how far you all have come in your journeys with your horses! You all should be so proud of yourselves and your horses! Then a 2 day Confidence Clinic at the beautiful Burong! What a fun and relaxed 2 days it was. Everyone came searching for confidence and I believe that is what you and your horses found. So happy for you all and can’t wait to hear about your future goals being achieved! Till next time “Stay Safe, Ride Well & Enjoy your Time with your Horses”!

Thank you to our sponsor Whoa Steady Neddy Hay Saving Nets for your continued support in supplying us with all of our Hay nets that we recently used on our trip to Tamworth for the Quarter Horse National Show. They kept Harley content for hours whilst cooped up in the trailer and stables.

Been a busy few weeks at Salt Horsemanship! We have had a 2 day Horsemanship clinic at Jenny Holmes beautiful facility in Apollo Bay with the Forest Trail Riding Group then a 1 Day Trail Riding clinic with the Moderwarre Adult riders and then a Confidence clinic at the beautiful Mckenzie Park! And will be another busy couple of weeks coming as I head off to Tasmania for another 4 days of lessons and a clinic then back home to a 2 day clinic at Burong! To say I am blown away by the support of everyone that attends my clinics and lessons is an understatement. I am lucky to be able to do something I am passionate about. Here are some great photos of all these recent clinics.
Till next time “Stay Safe, Ride Well & Enjoy your time with your Horses”

We love this quote and think it is so true. And found that this photo went well as Pete is so keen to push himself to be a better horseman, but perhaps his horse 'Fishin' doesn't like the idea's that Kev has as much (notice his tongue?!) 😂😂

So proud of everyone and their horses! Thank you to Bradley and Eilleen for the use of your beautiful property and obstacles!
