Driven to elevate your equine partnership to its fullest potential.
At Meraki Equine, showing up for your equine companion is the bottom line. We’re driven by a deep respect for the horse, blending traditional horsemanship with modern, evidence-based training methods. Our goal is to build trust, nurture confidence, and help horses and riders grow together — whether your dream is the show ring or a confident ride at home.
We produce soft, responsive horses that reflect your long-term goals, no matter how big or small.
At Meraki Equine, based in Feilding, Manawatu, we offer professional and ethical horse training services, including starting young horses, schooling, sales preparation, mileage, and further development programs tailored to each horse’s needs.

Located in Feilding, we proudly serve horse owners in Palmerston North, Ashhurst, Marton, surrounding areas and beyond.
My knowledge, patience, and understanding IS my ‘experience’. I live and breathe further development of all types of horses, all day, everyday. My techniques are guided and have developed from my knowledge of biomechanics, natural horsemanship, and understanding the horse as a whole. With a knack for knowing when something is physically and mentally not right, your horses training and education is tailored to their specific needs, and further, we have the professionals around us to get further care and treatment where training is not the appropriate solution.
-
We offer a structured, ethical approach to starting horses under saddle, giving them confidence, softness, and responsiveness from the very beginning.
-
Understanding the horse’s movement allows us to train with balance, soundness, and long-term physical wellness in mind.

With years of experience handling green horses, sales prospects, and complex cases, we adapt every program to suit your horse’s individual temperament and learning style.
