Rose Hall, Silversand Horsemanship, Associate Instructor
Rose has been riding since childhood and competed in every discipline. She discovered what is often now referred to as 'Natural Horsemanship' in 2001. It offered her new revelations and insights into horse behaviour and a much deeper connection to her horse. Natural horsemanship fosters understanding and partnership between horse and human. Rose has trained with different horsemen and women both here and overseas. In Scotland with Shuna Shaw, Australia with Steve Halfpenny and New Zealand with Gavin Morrison. She qualified as a Silversand Associate in 2007 and has since worked full time with a great variety of horses and people of all ages. Any lesson you learn from horsemanship can be applied to life itself. To find out more about Silversand Horsemanship go to www.silversand.com.au.
