Guthrie Performance Horses, West Pine, TAS

We can provide supervised private or shared paddocks and offer a number of services to suit your needs such as rugging/unrugging, drenching, farrier services and dental appointments as required. All horses have access to our improved pastures. Our rotations include follow up grazing with cattle to break the worm cycle. Our paddocks are safely fenced with sighter strips and electric offsets and are accessible through convenient laneways. Our shared paddocks are large and gently undulating with natural shelter and provide a peaceful break for spellers where they can graze and interact with other horses. We provide top quality hay and supplementary feeding and all horses have access to fresh spring water via automatic drinkers. A six to eight week specialised program of groundwork education, balanced feeding, and intensive grooming. We believe in giving your horse the foundation to succeed. Our program is a minimum 5 weeks and is based on natural horsemanship techniques. We do intensive groundwork with our breakers and our aim is to send home a respectful and calm horse, willing to go on and learn more about whichever pursuit his owner has chosen for him. After a spell we are happy to bring horses in for 4 - 6 weeks pre-training. This time gets the horse used to a routine, furthers his education and gives him a level of fitness - all in preparation to go back into race training. All problems catered for: disrespectful behaviour, barrier rogues, floating issues, bucking, shying, bolting, kicking, biting, etc.
