26 years. ⏳
This time, 26 years ago in May/June 2000, I was preparing for my final exams at the British Columbia College of Equine Massage Therapy (now called the Natural Touch Therapy Institute) in Canada.

I'm feeling quite grateful, and nostalgic too!

My equine journey since then has been filled with amazing horses, terrific people, and many adventures. Epic experiences managing/guiding and packing in the Canadian Rockies. Groom, barn manager and massaging beautiful equine athletes at a dressage training centre.

I moved to Tassie in 2005, where I found endless trail riding, wonderful people, gave endurance a crack, reining lessons, obstacles took me to compete at Equitana, and we won a buckle at the NSW NCCA State Championship in 2024.

I enjoy continuing education development opportunities and have met many mentors here in Tassie, great riding clubs are abundant too. How lucky that there are horses everywhere to be massaged! 🤗

And now, I'm really enjoying my additional skills. SADDLEFITTING! This has taken me to Canberra , Adelaide, Melbourne, Italy and England for training. There is always more to learn, a different puzzle to solve, and new ideas and innovation that is constantly evolving.

Thank you for supporting me throughout these years. I'm looking forward to continuing to meet new people and horses, and to be part of your journey throughout your equine partnership. 💙

Happy trails! 🏇

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately I’ve had to make the decision to introduce a temporary travel surcharge. From Monday 13th April, 2026 there will now be an additional tiered fuel surcharge per property, which will be split per horse if I’m seeing multiple horses at the one location. Saddlefitting and massage appointments.

The charges will be as follows:
< 50km - $15
50km - 100km $25
100km - 250km $35
> 250km - $50

I completely understand that times are tough for everyone right now, but with the long distances I travel I need to cover my costs to make a living. This decision hasn’t been made lightly, but unfortunately I can’t sustain the travel required without making this adjustment.

The plan is for the surcharge to only be temporary and I will reduce the charges as soon as fuel prices return to a more reasonable rate.

I really appreciate your understanding and continued support, and look forward to seeing you and your horses soon.

Many thanks,
Gaylene 💜

I had a fantastic weekend at the Tom Quilty 2025! It was a great opportunity to chat to lots of people about saddles and horses, massaged a few horses who earned buckles, and the weather was wonderful! Congratulations to all those who competed, finisher or not, you're all amazing! 🤩🏆

10 hrs 50 min until the Quilty ride begins! Beautiful weather here at Sassafras, perfect for trade stall browsing. 😎

Amazing 2 days spent at Valmont Farm, equine dissection, hosted by Evelyn Brereton and India Woods . Thank you for offering this opportunity to learn and share knowledge about these magnificent animals.
🐴 Keep your cup empty, that way you can always keep filling it with new and wonderful things. 🐴
