"The one best precept – the golden rule in dealing with a horse – is never approach him angrily. Anger is so devoid of forethought that it will often drive a man to do things which in a calmer mood he will regret."
Xenophon

"Just a big thankyou to yourself, and staff at Saltriver. We went out yesterday in the pines for a ride, “buckskin pony” travelled well in the float, rode like a dream and nothing phased her at all. For a young 3yrold and green, she performed like a seasoned, well handled horse. Her spook at the kangaroos was a stop and prick. She cantered well, pulled up well everything, turned on a dime through bush. She was relaxed and flowing. I can be nervous and am not the best rider at all, but I felt safe, secure, relaxed and extremely sure of filly, she didn’t put a foot wrong.Thanks again for giving me a most enjoyable time and a safe wonderful horse, who is a pleasure. Can rise to the trot okay, Very grateful Thanks." |

"Hi Kellie Thanks for a great weekend up here in Broome. Learnt heaps. I must have used just about every muscle in my body this weekend because I can feel every single one today! On a positive note, the groundwork exercises that Doogal and I were having problems with yesterday were much better today. He still stalled on the change in front of the cone coming from my left but we worked through it by changing my position and approach - drove his back end rather than pulling the front (like I had a hope!). We even graduated to the figure of 8 around the drums which I was pretty pleased with. He is at a 1 and 3 with the bending and driving his hind quarters which is a vast improvement. Really helped anchoring the rope at my centre, and having a no bullsh*t demeanour on. Doogal is absolutely gutted that I have learnt so much over the weekend. Even had some success backing him up in a straight line- did it bare back today- still not brilliant but some improvement today. Thanks again for a fantastic weekend." |
"I have been fortunate enough to have known Heath and Kellie Stuart since 2001. I have attended several clinics that they have run here in my home town of Derby and also in Broome and have loved every minute of them. Both are patient and always seem to get the very best from me. I have had some confidence issues over the past year and Kellie has been crucial in my on going recovery from this.
I also have a Mare “Spinnies Serenade” QH/Special Merit ASH that I sent to Salt River to be covered by Thompsons Prophecy in 2005. The resulting Filly foal “Moss” is a gem, very pretty with a kind and affectionate nature. The filly remains at Salt River on agistment and has been handled and halter broken by Heath and Kellie. I plan to have her educated there too and can not speak highly enough of the quality of care and handling that she receives. Both Heath and Kellie always find time to show me around and catch up on Moss’s progress when I visit and are always very helpful if I have a question or need some advice. I would not hesitate to recommend Salt River Performance Horses and Heath and Kellie if you are looking for a quality stallion for your mare, someone to help you further your horsemanship knowledge or education for your horses. Both Heath and Kellie live and breathe horses and are sensitive to their every need both physically and mentally. You can be confident that you and your horse will receive the very best of everything." |
"Hi Kellie, Thanks For an inspirational clinic. I was so excited after it that I couldn’t stop thinking through it all and had to get up at midnight to stop mentally riding around the ceiling!!!" |
"Hi Kellie/Heath |
