I’ve lived my life at the sharp edge — as a horse trainer, a WA Police officer, a private investigator, and someone who has fought my own battles with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Through it all, one thing has never wavered: the grounding, honest presence of horses.

​

For over 50 years I’ve worked with them — from dressage arenas to racetracks. I know their power, their honesty, and their ability to reflect the truth in people. Combined with my background in policing, psychology, and counselling, I’ve created a program that is bold, professional, and deeply human.

​

The horses you’ll meet here are retired racehorses — animals that many would have simply discarded once their careers ended. Instead, I chose to honour them. Each horse has been given a safe, trusting environment, a second chance, and a new purpose: to help people reconnect, build resilience, and rediscover their strength.

​

But Gallop to Greatness doesn’t stop there. We also have a small team of racehorses still in training — and clients are invited to become part of their journey. From stable to racetrack, you’ll get to follow, support, and cheer them on as they continue their careers with dignity and care.

​

At Gallop to Greatness, there’s no riding, no gimmicks. You’ll stand beside a 600kg mirror of truth — a horse that responds only to your energy, your communication, and your presence. Horses cut through masks and titles. They show who you really are, and who you can become.

​

Every program fee goes directly back into caring for these horses, ensuring they live out their lives with dignity while continuing to change the lives of those who work with them. And because access matters, we also donate one session each month to someone in need who may be financially challenged.

​

This is where strength is rebuilt. Where second chances matter.
This is Gallop to Greatness.
