I first sat on a horse at three years old and haven't looked back since. I grew up riding english with a focus on showjumping, but always admired western riding and have had the pleasure of adding it to the mix in the last few years! It's a combination I've come to love for the balance it brings to how I work with horses.Based in the Bay of Plenty, EB Equine is a humble operation where every horse is doted on.Whether you're after lessons, looking to get a young horse started, or need someone to bring a tricky horse back on track, I'd love to hear from you.- Eden Barr
