"I was apart of the Horse Haven team for two years and it truly is a haven for horses and horse lovers. In that time I went from a nervous beginner to jumping confidently, galloping around the farm and preparing me for owning my own horse. I love the environment at Horse Haven and it is an amazing place to learn all about horses and how to ride. I have received heaps of super cool opportunities and made some great memories with the horse haven crew such as riding on the beach, doing cross-country across the farm. Michelle teaches the fundamentals of riding, caring for the horse, horsemanship and many other important aspects, I learnt so much from Michelle and without her I definitely would not be where I am today !!
