Forest View Thoroughbreds is a reputable horse trainer and agistment service located in the serene town of Bunyip North, Victoria. Owned and operated by Amanda, a skilled and experienced horse trainer, Forest View Thoroughbreds specialises in Off The Track (OTT) Education. With a passion for re-training and re-homing thoroughbreds, Amanda and her team take pride in producing quality mounts suitable for a variety of disciplines.
Amanda's journey in the equine industry began at a young age, starting with her love for horses and a retired 16hh thoroughbred. Throughout her 30 years of experience, she has competed and trained horses in various disciplines. Eventually, her path led her to the racing industry, where she worked as a strapper, groom, track rider, pre-trainer, and assistant breaker. It was during this time that Amanda established Forest View Thoroughbreds in Garfield North, driven by her passion for re-homing and retraining off the track horses.
Forest View Thoroughbreds offers a range of services to cater to the needs of horse owners. Their primary services include re-education for thoroughbreds and all breeds, a comprehensive rehoming programme, bringing horses back to work after a spell, injury, or pregnancy, and sales preparation for clients looking to sell their horses. The facility also provides riding lessons with a qualified and insured coach, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for riders of all levels.
When it comes to the horses in their care, Forest View Thoroughbreds follows a meticulous process. Each horse is sourced directly from the trainer or owner, guaranteeing reliable background information for every horse that enters their programme. Upon arrival, the horses undergo an appropriate spelling period and feeding regime to allow them to fully let down before the reprogramming process begins.
Located in Garfield North, Forest View Thoroughbreds enjoys a picturesque and tranquil setting, only 2 kms away from the Tonimbuk Equestrian Centre and 5 km from Mt. Cannibal Pony Club. The surrounding area offers fantastic bush riding opportunities in the Bunyip State Forest, with beautiful and peaceful scenic road riding right at the facility's doorstep. Prospective clients are welcomed to schedule inspections by appointment.
