Julian is the hands-on boss and the one we rely on to build, fix, and keep everything in top shape. From fences to saddles, he’s always finding a way to make things stronger, better, and ready for the next adventure. When he’s not wrangling helicopters, he’s wrangling horses — and somehow keeps this whole show on the road.
Chilli’s basically part human, part tractor. You’ll spot him with a bucket in one hand and a spanner in the other, making sure the horses (and the machinery) are fed, watered, and happy. Horse Safety Australia Certified.

Jackie’s living the dream — part mermaid, part cowgirl, and always at home where the rainforest meets the reef. She’s just as comfortable in the saddle as she is by the sea, and she can’t wait to share the magic of this place (and a few good laughs) with you. Horse Safety Australia Certified & First Aid.
Halle hails from Queensland, She has a natural connection with horses and spends most of her time working with them — honestly, she probably likes them more than people… but don’t worry, she’s still happy to see you! Her favourite horse is Ash, but she has a soft spot for Halo… when he’s behaving. When she can’t ride horses, she rides waves — always happiest outdoors doing what she loves.
Each year we welcome an assistant guide from overseas who brings fresh stories, riding styles, and horsey wisdom from around the world. It’s a chance to share cultures, swap horse tales, and make every ride just that little bit more special. Be sure to ask who your guide is this season — you might just be riding with an international horse whisperer!
