Andrea has been my riding instructor for 2 years. I knew instantly I had found a coach that had the skill, understanding and education that I needed to develop a trusting relationship with my horse. I followed the path that Andrea planned for Shimmer and I, and with her knowledge, passion for horses, and guidance, my relationship with my horse became positive, connected and exciting.I thank Andrea for her continued guidance and support to help me to become a more confident, thoughtful rider and I'm looking forward now to an exciting future with my horse. -- Joanne Sarroff

I have had 3 horses in training at Arandth Performance Horses, all very different in temperament, trainability, height, breed and natural ability. It is this flexibility in training methods that has made my training at Arandth invaluable. Thank you Andrea for teaching me to be brave but kind and to strive to "compete as I train" --- Kerrie Clarke

“Your support, patience and words of wisdom got me to where I am today, helping me transform Marcus from a very green four year old who was finishing at the bottom after almost every test, to a super and confident horse, qualifying for, and being competitive in, state dressage, showjumping and horse trials.” -- Florence Goodwin (successful EA Horse Trials competitor)

“We have had our two horses agisted at Arandth Performance Horses for the past two years. Not only do the horses have somewhere to live and be fed, but also  they are cared for and watched upon by Andrea as if they belonged to her. To know Andrea is around to keep an eye on our equine family members and take care of them when we are unavailable to feed, etc. is not only a benefit as part of the agistment but comforting to know they are being looked after so well. Then on top of that to have the arena and showjump area for practice, and Andrea to provide specialist coaching at the same time for Katt, it is just fantastic to have Arandth Performance Horses available in the Albury Wodonga region.” -- Kevin McKinnon

Having known Andrea from both an equestrian  and  a  personal perspective for the last 25 years, I have been privy to her development of a training program that draws from 'old school' tried and tested techniques and modern school ideas. She has the ability to address all the elements of both rider and horse combinations allowing the benefit of body work, nutrition and schooling to go hand in hand. .  This enables a trust between horse and rider to develop that is required to succeed in all areas of equestrian sports. After several failed attempts to buy myself the  "Dream Horse" , Andrea has paired me with an amazing school pony, that is allowing me to gain the level of riding I desire, and also the understanding of the Dressage fundamentals with the confidence building I require. --Kate Sefton

I have been involved with Andrea at Arandth Performance Horses treating and performing bodywork on her horses and working with her to achieve optimum health of her horses physically, mentally and emotionally.We have had many wonderful journeys together, sometimes pulling our hair out, but the moment it all comes together is fabulous.I feel so grateful to work in conjunction with Andrea, she is a blessing to the horse and I am sure all her horses would agree!Andrea's number one priority is the horse, she recognises if they are not happy in their work it is not worth persisting until the problem is identified and rectified.I highly recommend Andrea as a coach, she has an eye for detail, a connection with the horse and addresses each horse and rider holistically and individually to find the balance in every partnership.

I bought my first horse 8 months ago at age 41! Having barely ridden for 20 odd years, and even then mainly trail riding, “nervy beginner” does not do me justice. Belle and I had a brief honeymoon period, but things got rocky very quickly once she decided to test me, and won. Repeatedly. My first lesson with Andrea was also pretty rocky because I almost killed her when Belle and I mowed over her at a sideways canter (we were demonstrating some of our “issues!”). It’s fortunate for us all that she leapt out of the way in time, because Andrea had been widely recommended to me as a terrific instructor, and I’ve discovered she’s that and more! Definitely part psychologist, Andrea has been amazing at always pushing me to achieve, while being understanding of my nerves and fears, and never terrifying me. She’s fantastic at explaining what to do and WHY I’m doing it, so that I can keep practising effectively at home even when I’m not in a lesson. And what I really love is that if things aren’t working, or need a little finessing, Andrea is happy to grab her helmet and hop on! Since having regular lessons with Andrea, not only has my riding improved considerably, but I’ve also learned heaps about feeding, managing injuries, and much more, as she’s always happy to share her knowledge on anything I quiz her about. In addition, when I was away on holidays, I agisted Belle with Andrea, which was fantastic. Not only was it very reasonable rates, but I knew she was really well cared for, and even better, as she’d been turned out for 6 weeks, I asked Andrea to ride her a few times and bring her back into work for me. It was great – I just came home, and hopped onto a happy, healthy horse who was going even better than when I’d left! Eight months ago I was a nervy beginner rider and a nervy beginner horse owner, but after working regularly with Andrea, I am just so much more confident in every aspect of owning and riding a horse. I think Belle and I might even be starting to look like a dressage combination! Thanks Andrea, you’re the best! -- Alison Pritchard

"I have been involved with Andrea and Arandth Performance horses for almost two years and love it.  I have found the journey very rewarding, working with Andrea both in the saddle and on the ground.  Andrea's depth of knowledge and understanding of horses never fails to amaze me.  She seems to instinctively identify problem areas, with the rider or the horse and works by encouraging self awareness and confidence,  building up the foundations for the next level.  After a long break from riding my confidence has grown  thanks to Andrea and Arandth Maasser Rose (of course).   I've learned so much more about the training requirements of performance horses through Andrea; watching her ride, watching her teach and, of course, teaching me. What I admire most is Andrea's philosophy, it's holistic.  Andrea ensures all her horses are in peak condition, mentally and physically, and provides for their overall well-being.  Arandth Performance Horses would be the equivalent of a 5* Horse Day Spa.  They are treated to Massages, Chiropractic and Bowen Therapy treatments, acupuncture, regular farrier visits and more,  and also a very personalised feeding regime for each horse. Andrea perceives the horse is an athlete and thus needs to be in the best condition to achieve optimum results and a positive relationship between horse and rider. I cannot  thank Andrea and Ruth enough for the opportunity they have given me,  to be able to ride Arandth Maasser Rose - The Amazing Massy.  We've had an incredible time together, competing both HRCAV and EA and won quite a few ribbons along the way.  She truely is an Amazing Girl and I have no doubts there are quite a few more ribbons with our names on out there!" -- Karen
