Thank you for all your support over the last years. 2025 sees us changing direction with the launch of the Australian Liberty Equestrian Academy.
We can’t wait to share more with you over the next few weeks.
Our Equine Team live a charmed life with acres of paddocks that they rotate through, trail rides, yards for when a storm passes through and lots of pampering. They are only fed the best feed and hay whilst keeping their vitamins, nutrients and minerals on par with their specific needs. If they're at their best then they will support you to be your very best self. Our two legged Team are qualified to support you as you set goals, reflect on who and where you want to be and provide you with strategic tools to achieve your dreams no matter how big or small. Our horses and ponies are trained to an exceptionally high standard and therefore we only support advanced riders apart from our minis who can support beginners - our ground and driven programs are achievable for all.

With a wealth of knowledge and empathy, Nathalie is here to support you on your personal journey and is proud of her herd of talented two and four legged super stars.

Murphy
Murphy was a successful racehorse who still has his very own fan club. He is a very talented horse who enjoys his work. He's choosy about who he interacts with and he was the BOSS of our herd. He had an unfortunate accident and was nearly touch and go but with the help of our amazing medical team and his shear determination, he pulled through. We now refer to him as the Chairman of the board as he is still as bossy as always but is loving life with his companion Penny next to the herd so that he doesn’t do his old boss antics and injure his leg which has healed well. However once you get Murphy's approval, be ready for cuddles and scratches as he will tell you what he likes and how he likes it! Murphy is the ultimate schoolmaster. Murphy will never be ridden again but has found a love of liberty which he loves to show off - he’s also super chatty and a very talented healer.
Coco
Coco is a very sensitive mare who used to be a very worried individual. These days, she is Queen of the castle and our lead mare. Coco loves to talk so she will keep you entertained for hours if she has a say in it. She absolutely loves exploring and walks on the beach but be warned, she likes to splash... a lot. You'll have to earn your Coco cuddles, however if you're gentle and respectful get ready for cuddles Coco style. Coco is currently in competition training but always happy to say hello in the paddock.
Artax
Artax our 2IC, has been there and done that! He was a working equitation star, has taught adults and children to ride, been a race horse, loves his dressage with an extended trot to die for and is now ready to help you with your journey. Artax is the ultimate superstar schoolmaster - our beautiful golden boy - successful racehorse, successful dressage super star and magnificent healer.
Horse Sense
Being a good horse person isn’t about certain techniques when you’re training but it is a mindset to hold every time you are around your equine partner.
Jerry
Gentle giant Jerry is exceedingly kind and a gentle soul. Jerry wasn’t very good as a pacer and only won $1000 and therefore needed nurturing to achieve his full potential. He loves being off the track and is thriving with our techniques and his regulars become family. He absolutely loves cuddles, treats and FOOD! This guy is perfect if you need some chill out time and a safe partner. Of course no horse is bomb proof but he will look after you if you respect his boundaries. Jerry’s dance card is always full as once you meet him, you fall in love as we have.
Winky
Beautiful Winky was an extremely successful pacer and is loving her new life as healer! Winky is soft and gentle but quite the mare. She knows who she wants to play with and makes them feel very special when she makes her mind known! Winky is Jerry’s niece and is our little ray of sunshine - heading out in the forest with Winky is just so much fun!
Magic
Magic is our fabulous warmblood. Having been through trauma, Magic understands your inner pain and is patient with you whilst helping you work through what you need. Magic has now grown up and turned into a beautiful powerful and talented competition warmblood. We are so proud of her journey.
Miss Money Penny (pony team)
Penny is our adorable and inquisitive Brumby pony. As a yearling, she was off to become dog meat, luckily she came home and has since turned in to a little star. Her groundwork is outstanding, she loves liberty work, beauty treatments, mud, being groomed is one of her favourite things, she excels at jumping and is the herd's cheeky little monster as well as peace keeper - everyone loves Penny. Penny is so clever and the most wonderful best friend you could ever wish for.
Baby
Baby is our youngest herd member and has been on a long healing journey of her own - it really was touch and go as to whether we would ever get her paddock sound but with our amazing medical team’s support we got her through to the other side and seeing her now race the other herd members has brought a few tears to those who helped her pull through and start to grow into the beautiful strong horse that she is. Baby excels on her ridden journey but are taking it slow so as to keep her healthy and she only has 3 clients per week. Baby is loved by all and is quite the people pleaser. Baby is still growing and looks to be trying to reach Jerry’s height and is turning into a stunning horse.
Atticus (pony team)
Atticus is our adorable Barbie pony - he is just so beautiful, talented and soft. He is quite cheeky with a heart of gold, loves cuddles and once you have won his heart, you have a friend for life. He is one of our most playful herd members.
Rosie (miniature team)
Rosie may be a our smallest herd member but she is boss of the minis and is absolutely adorable. She is our most patient mini sized teacher and waits for her regulars all day as she just can’t wait to play with them - she will start pacing and waiting a good hour before they are due to arrive - she just loves loves loves teaching, cuddling and being spoilt. Don’t let her size fool you - if you fancy playing with a very talented miniature horse - Rosie is a lot of fun and knows it all.
Daisy (miniature team)
Daisy is our youngest mini and is the sweetest little pocket rocket. She tries so hard and has the kindest nature. She thinks her little friends are the best ever and looks forward to hanging out with her regulars. She sprinkles a little fun onto everything she does. Daisy can do everything the big horses do just with the cute factor that comes with being her size.
Jasper (miniature team)
Our adorable Palouse miniature Pony very rarely has a dance spot available as he is a favourite among our community - his liberty is outstanding, he has no fear and has so much empathy for his non verbal clients - he doesn’t appreciate being bounced on but his riders try really hard to support him with this request. Jasper really is one in a million - his excited calls when he spots one of his friends is absolutely heart melting. He also loves all herd members and doesn’t always understand herd hierarchy but tries hard.
Norman
Norman is our newest herd member and is Nat’s personal project. He is a beautiful warmblood originally from Victoria who has been thrown in the deep end and is settling in to his new life. Nat is excited to see what Norman brings to this next chapter.
Chief Mouser
You will often find this princess wandering around hunting or demanding gentle strokes - always on her terms.
Be empowered.
Allow our master horse teachers to empower you to be your best you. To accept the exceptional being that is you.
