Teaching Style
Kellie Summers has a way of teaching her students that keeps them feeling confident and comfortable. You do not have to do anything you don’t want to do and you will be made to feel safe and relaxed in an encouraging yet gently critiquing manner.
Kellie’s background is in hunting (jumping horses in a non competitive club environment) along with extensive trail riding and flatwork.
Kellie aims to create partnerships between horse and rider and is looking for kind and gentle riders and handlers to start their horse journey with her.
Approach
Kellie’s logical and commonsense approach to horsemanship is clear and easy to understand.
Riders will leave feeling refreshed and happy as Kellie understands that everyone is on a different journey and looking for personalised horse experiences.

Gear Required
I do have helmets available for my riders, however you are most welcome to bring your own if it is appropriate Australian safety standards.
You do need to bring your own riding boots with smooth soles (not grippy work boots, laces or sneakers). If you’re a women’s 10 I may be able to lend you a pair of mine.
Weight Limit
I currently have a weight limit of 85kg for my horses. Riders who are learning may unintentionally bounce on the horses’ backs so we do have to keep to this limit to make sure the horses are comfortable and able to continue to teach the riders. If you’re over this weight, please don’t feel disheartened as I would be more than happy to teach you many skills from the ground.
