Owner
I’m the owner and stable manager of Raindance Stables, and I founded both the Equine Learning and Theatre programs. I instruct in both disciplines, driven by a passion to connect people through horses. Our Equine Learning program has supported adults and children facing anxiety, depression, and ADHD. In Equine Theatre, we help young riders develop synchronized riding, strengthen their foundational skills, and unleash their creativity. Using natural horsemanship methods, we guide riders in forming genuine connections with their horses while encouraging personal growth through imaginative expression.
Riding School Manager
My role at Raindance Stables is to manage yard administration and horse training, and I’m also an equine theatre instructor. I’ve been fortunate to perform in all of Raindance’s major theatre productions. My passion for the performing arts began early, and I earned a distinction in drama during matric. I aim to teach riders how to tell meaningful stories with their horses. I also assist with Raindance’s Equine Learning program, which helps people understand themselves and others through guided interactions with horses. Using body language and natural horsemanship, we communicate with horses in ways they understand and respond to.
Stable Manager
My name is Brad, and I’m the Assistant Stable Manager at Raindance. I hold CATSSETA and EQASA qualifications in Stable Management and as a Riding Instructor. While stable management is my primary role, I also coach students in riding and jumping, which I truly enjoy. I am a certified Equine Therapist and run my own business, Equi-Infinity. I’ve also completed modules in Practical Equine Psychology through Ekwos. I’m excited to keep learning and expanding my knowledge of horses. I believe in the power of education and look forward to what the future holds for us on this journey.
Instructor/ Work Rider
I have had a lifelong passion for horses, having been involved with them since the age of four. I find immense joy and fulfilment in coaching and witnessing the progress of my riders as they grow, gain confidence, and develop a genuine love for the sport. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing my clients progress both physically and mentally, on and off the horse. Coaching allows me to share my passion for horses while passing on the knowledge and experience I have gained throughout the years, creating a positive and supportive environment for both horse and rider to thrive.
At Raindance Stables we cater for all levels and ages of riders. Your first lesson would be a private lesson to ascertain the level that you are at.
