Testimonials

I commenced training with John and Michelle Kelly at the age of 13 years and it was the start of a great relationship.

Michelle's skills, knowledge and expertise took me from success in showjumping at pony club level to winning in open classes at a very young age, and she became my mentor.

Michelle always demonstrates a positive attitude and continues to be a great role model for me. She guided by example to challenge myself intellectually and value education. I am now completing my third year of veterinary science at Queensland University.

While studying I have bred and broken in 3 purpose bred showjumpers, training them through to graded competition. The oldest two are looking impressive at the Queensland shows. This has been achievable because of the knowledge I gained from John's amazing horsemanship.

John and Michelle welcomed me into their lives. Their support with my training as a showjumper and guidance for me as a rider was invaluable. At that time one of my horses was a difficult young mare and with their guidance I took her from a very spooky 4 year old to success in B grade EFA. My time with them also opened up opportunities for me, the most notable one being my leading role in the main arena performance. 'Jemma, Spirit of the Outback', at Sydney's Royal Easter Show.

John and Michelle Kelly were instrumental in my development as a rider and competitor, with their expertise I gained valuable experience in horsemanship and management and I take this opportunity to recommend them.
