UPCOMING CLINICS
**Emma Crawford Chandler**
Silent Voices Animal Communication
THESE DAYS SELL OUT FAST- BOOK NOW to secure your spot
Date: 25th & 26th July, 2020
Venue: DJ Park; Oaklands Hunt Club
Cost: $125 per reading
Bookings: with Emma Direct
Ever wondered what your horse (or other animal!) is thinking, or how they perceive your world together? Or why they respond and behave the way they do in certain situations? The honesty of animals is second to none, and they say it exactly as it is! And Emma has the most incredible talent of being able to hear your horse talk!!
​
I know what you are thinking, and trust me- I was thinking the exact same thing. The science geek in me was VERY skeptical, but the readings I had done with some "test cases" here at DJ Park were astounding. And yes -I thoroughly and shamelessly tested Emma out to make sure she was the real deal... she is! A session with Emma has to be experienced to be believed, be it wanting to know what niggly pain your animal is experiencing, whether he/she likes their current living arrangements, whether they would like anything done differently- and an under saddle reading is like having a coaching session where your horse is the coach. I wouldn't hesitate to use Emma for any issue that I was experiencing where I need to know what's going on from the horse's perspective.

** Adele Edwards **
Date: Saturday 7th March, 2020
Venue: DJ Park, Bolinda
Cost: $100 per horse, or $150 for horse + owner
Bookings: Call/text Sally on 0412 615 039 to book a place
Adele has an interesting background, and has been working with TCM modalities such as acupuncture, panic healing, ayurveda, and energy healing modalities for many years. She does what she calls "timeline healing", where she works to clear any energetic blockages that the horse is holding onto from past traumatic experiences.
​
Again, Skeptical Sally put Adele to the test with a horse, telling Adele nothing except the horse's name, age, and partway through the session answered a question as to how long she had owned it. The difference in this horse throughout the session was UNBELIEVABLE, and he remained completely changed afterwards. But not only that, during the session, I realised how deeply this horse was connected to me because I started to feel changes in my body.
​
After delving deeper into this "energy healing", I came to realise that it is actually being completely proved and validated by recent discoveries by scientists but moreso physicists- the realms of Quantum Physics is proving what TCM and Eastern Medicine practitioners have known and documented for over 5000 years- everything is connected through an energetic field, and these same energetic fields are how things like Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Kinesiology, Reiki, other energy modalities and all the other "alternative" therapies that have been pooh poohed by Western Allopathic Medicine for decades work.
All of these things help when trying to get to the root cause of an issue, and the changes that our horses and I personally have experienced through working with Adele since February 2018 have been not only mind blowing, but life changing in the most positive way imaginable.
​
Adele is amazing. Come experience her gifts for yourself- you won't be disappointed.

JAN 2020: Happy New Year to everyone! We hope you had a good Xmas and New Year, and haven't been impacted by the terrible fires burning throughout the country. Our heartfelt thoughts go out to all those who have been impacted. We experienced having to evacuate Eden from our annual break this year, which was eye opening to say the least. However, we got to spend a few unplanned days with good friends up on the Murray River, which meant we still had a bit of a break from the DJ Park routine.
Horses are coming and going for training, we currently have a waiting list for horses coming in for training, so Contact Us if you would like to place your horse on the list. We have quite a few of our own horses back in work, giving lessons as school horses, we have several coming up for sale soon, and there may even be the possibility of a competition or two on the horizon.... (Shhh... no one tell The BURT ;p ) Stay tuned for details.
**If you wish to book in for a coaching session, either on your horse, one of ours, or even a session just with you to help work through any "stuck" parts of your life, or you wish to experience a Reiki session, or have an Essential Oils consultation please also Contact Us to book a session.
​
MARCH 2019: Another year has passed, and some of our DJ Park youngsters are out and about competing and having great fun with their riders! DJ Monte Fiore is competing in Interschools and Dressage with her young rider, Ella Berry with great success. DJ Brilliant Future and Hannah Woodcock have consolidated after competing at the Melbourne International 3DE Young Horse class last year, and are travelling beautifully around Intro level Eventing and will be stepping up to Prelim in the very near future, with a view to going 1* later this year. DJ Ringmaster (previously DJ Metal Edge) and his young rider Hannah Conlon have also consolidated and are competing up to 1.05m Showjumping classes in SA with increasing success.
We are currently looking for riders for several more of our youngsters, for more information please Contact Us or call Sally direct.

MARCH 2018:
Things are getting back into full swing at DJ Park! Head trainer/coach Sally Hudson is back teaching both onsite and as a guest instructor at outside clinics and rallies, horses are coming back into full work, and we need to make room for the youngsters who are ready to be broken in. This means that we have several fantastic opportunities for young riders or more experienced competitiors to take on some of our slightly older horses for campaigning either to sell on our behalf, or with a view to purchase a share in and take through to top level. Several of our favourite horses, including DJ Brilliant George and DJ Monte Fiore have already been snapped up and are performing sensationally with their new riders- if you are keen to know more, please don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your situation and how we might be able to create a win-win scenario.

DJ Park is proud to announce that BEST EQUESTRIAN is now sponsoring us! We are very excited about our latest sponsor, as we have been using the Best Equestrian products for some time now and have found the range to be absolutely top quality, but without the top end price tag usually associated with such fantastic quality tack.

Aurum Brilliant Flood (Miss Bobbi) behaved very well at her first ever outing at the Bacchus Marsh Pony Club Horse Trials, and it was a great learning experience for her. We took Leylandi Downs Beaumont, owned by Aleesha Asciak, along for a start, and he led from start to finish and brought home the rug. A successful weekend, and a big thank you to Bacchus Marsh Pony Club for a well organised and run event, and to easysheds for their sponsorship and support of the event
JULY 2014:
DJ Park is proud to announce that we are now sponsored by Comfort Gut Australia!
Comfort Gut is a steam activated carbon product which we have been using on all our performance horses, and any horse that exhibits nervousness, stressy behaviour, signs of stomach discomfort or general lack of well-being. The results have been ASTOUNDING- we cannot recommend this product highly enough. The stressy nervous horses are more settled, the horses who have always had loose droppings are passing normal "healthy" looking droppings for the first time, the ones that wind sucked or cribbed have stopped, the ones that just weren't right and were grumpy and unhappy are back to looking awesome and acting like their normal happy selves. This product is totally chemical free, can be used with all horses, and it is so good that I will personally offer a money back guarantee on it to anyone who buys through us! If you do not see positive results within 2 weeks of using Comfort Gut according to the instructions, I will buy back your unused portion. See the information on this page for further details and contact us to try it for yourself
JUNE 2014:
We are very pleased to announce that DJ Park is now a distributor for STAMANOL! All DJ Park's horses are on Stamanol, they have never looked or felt better, and we unreservedly recommend it as the best organic vitamin and mineral supplement that we have ever used- AND it offers amazing value for money! See the information on this page or contact us for further details
MAY 2014:
*DJ Park Equestrian training services are still booked out, contact us to have your horse added to the waiting list. We have recently successfully assisted in the rehabilitation of a chronically lame horse, returning her to her owner after 6 weeks of fitness and conditioning work sound and ready to go on with. We are currently breaking in two of our youngsters, and have several freshly started horses here to continue their education in anticipation of their owners continuing on with their competitive careers.

**IT'S A GIRL!!!!**
DJ Graced With Brilliance was born just before midnight Monday 9th Decenber. We were hoping for a filly, and what a filly we got! Perfectly conformed, gorgeous head and markings, beautifully put together, super movement and the friendliest temperament you can imagine. This little lady is stunning and has won the hearts of everyone who meets her. At this stage she is not for sale, as we wish to retain the mare's bloodlines, but watch out for her in the coming years as she will be a cracking performance horse in eventing or showjumping. And if you come to visit, it is compulsory to go and say hello to Gracie and scratch her itchy spots!! Photos are here
