Finch Farm - December 2011

26 Dec 2011

What an end to the year! The tyre tracks are still fresh in the driveway from our trip down to Sydney for the Sydney Summer Showjumping Classic. I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful work done by John Valance and Jane Frankum in organising such a fabulous event.

Finch Farm - September/October 2011

We are starting to get used to being surrounded by all this green grass which it is fantastic for all the foals and mares not to mention the bank balance. Ive been on teaching marathon which has seen me venture to many different parts of the country getting riders ready for a variety of competitions as well as just some back to basic tune ups.

Finch Farm - August 2011

It's time for a deep breath after a huge 3 weeks of shows.
Toowoomba World Cup Show was the first show was the first show on the run. It is always an enjoyable show for us, as we do not have to make a trek to compete.

Managing Director

You see, horses are not so much a part of what we do, but rather, the core of who we are.

From the time we were kids, we have spent our lives in the saddle, mustering and droving in the Queensland bush, working after school and weekends and holidays. All the while we were growing up alongside fine old Australian horsemen and good, tough Australian horses. We were fortunate to recognize each as being our teachers, even when the days were long, the lessons were tough and the disappointments seemed greater than the wins.

We slowly made our way through the ranks of bush pony clubs, campdraft arenas and old fashioned country shows. This taught us some of the most important lessons we know: the meaning of hard work, the pleasure of good friends and good times – and the importance of true sportsmanship. Since then, our journey with horses has taken us right around Australia and to most parts of the world.

Since our philosophy of true horsemanship is the one thing that matters the most to us, we are now extremely honoured that so many people want to come on board and share that journey with us. We are very proud to have clients all over Australia and scattered across many parts of the world.
