Testimonials

When I first met Warren I was at my wits end over the relationship between my daughter and her pony - the pony had the upper hand and was the boss of the pair to the extent that my daughter was fearful of him and not enjoying him at all. Warren was sure he could fix things so we had Ferdi stay for a week with Grace visiting every day.

I think more work was done on Grace than the pony who I add is now a dream to get on a float! We completely embraced Warren's patient and thoughtful methods and the change in the horse and owner has been incredible. Grace is now loving her pony and he respects her. She has gone from being too scared to put his rug on to doing everything with him all on her own.

She spends so much time in the paddock with him now and enjoys working him on the ground and all facets of looking after him. They have the dream relationship a girl and her pony should have and I can't thank Warren enough. Having had Bronwyn helping as well, Grace is now keen to further her equine knowledge under their care as am I. After the sudden loss of my mare, I am now looking forward to the arrival of my HERO graduate, Eve, so kindly handpicked for me by Warren and Bronwyn. They have been so understanding and have allowed me to take my time with numerous meetings with Eve to ensure it felt right.

Now I can't imagine a life with horses that didn't include Cobe Lodge.

I am so grateful to have found Warren and Cobé Lodg e.

After having trouble with numerous unreliable farriers, I was told about Warren by a g ood friend from the standardbred world. After the first visit I was thrilled. Not only a wonderful ho rseman but a brilliant farrier and all round friend ly bloke. There was no question that we would send our 3yo TB x QH 'Vinlee Classic Rock' to be broken in by Warren. I was so impressed with the level of traini ng my young boy had after only 5 weeks.

He had gone from a very naughty and at times testing littl e dude, to a cool cucumber with manners and a now very trainable and willing temperament! We have since competed our first season of in hand showing with great results (even a broad sash!) and training under saddle is progressing in leaps a nd bounds.

I would highly recommend Cobé Lodge to anyone looki ng for kind and knowledgeable horse people to assist them in any stage of their horses educati on & farrier needs. Thank you very much for all of the hard work you pu t into Kuda to help make him the horse he is today and the horse I know he can be in the future!
