Learn More About Our SIX Team Specialists

OUR TEAM

HORSES AND HUMANS has brought together a very experienced and qualified team of specialists.

They each share a love for horses and a passion for using and expanding their knowledge, and applying their skills to deliver the interventions needed to bring sustainable positive change to the lives of adults, teenagers, and children in need.

The impact of their work with participants can be quite extraordinary.
Programs are held in an idyllic rural setting in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast.

Our Staff and Horse partners are very well cared for, healthy, fully vaccinated, and offer a wide range of personalities, ages, and levels of education.

This gives our facilitators a variety of options to challenge, support, and connect with the participants in our programs.
