“I love helping horses and their humans achieve their best possible lives together.”  
~ Annemarie Irwin
Winsley Park Equestrian.

Heart of the Horse book is now available

Annemarie’s latest book celebrates the connection between horses and humans.

Winsley Park Equestrian

Winsley Park Equestrian provides a range of services to help form happy, healthy, and harmonious horse and rider partnerships.

From first-time horse-riders to advanced competitors, Annemarie Irwin’s knowledge and experience provides calm, confidence-building coaching, based on classical and biomechanical principles, with an understanding of both horse and rider psychology.

Lessons are available on the Winsley Park Equestrian school horses, and if you have your own horses, you can bring them to Winsley Park Equestrian for facilities hire, clinics, competitions or lessons, or Annemarie can travel to you. Annemarie is also available for instructing at clinics or HRCAV rallies.

If you’re having a training or behaviour issue with your horse, or you’re wanting to learn more about handling, starting or schooling your horse, Annemarie can coach you through the steps of how to train horses to achieve your goals; these are the ‘Train the Trainer’ sessions.

Annemarie is also a qualified equine sports massage therapist, equine myotherapist, and equine red light therapist, offering a range of massage treatment options to support optimal performance and wellness in the horse. Equine massage treatments are available both on-site at Winsley Park Equestrian, or Annemarie can travel to you if you are within the Ararat/Grampians region, from Stawell down to Lake Bolac and Halls Gap through to Beaufort. She is also currently studying the International Diploma of Equine Osteopathy with the London College of Animal Osteopathy to become a qualified Equine Osteopath.

Holistic assessments are also offered by Annemarie, for those wanting to find the best next steps for making progress with their horse, by taking into account factors such as bit-fit, saddle-fit, conformation and gait analysis, musculoskeletal functioning, rider position and application of the aids, the horse’s training and behavioural or other issues.

If you’re a member of HRCAV, Annemarie is both a helmet-tagging official and a Level Assessor, offering both services on-site at Winsley Park Equestrian, enabling you to compete in HRCAV events.

Winsley Park Equestrian has equestrian facilities on-site, which are available for event or casual hire, including a 75m x 45m multipurpose outdoor sand arena with show jumping course and full size dressage arena markers, a 52m x 35m grass arena with obstacle course, a 25m x 22m grass/sand arena with mirror and lights, cross country courses, 20m round yard, wash bay, and holding yards.


Horses and a lifetime of learning.

Annemarie began her equestrian journey by riding her green-broken, three-year-old, Shetland Pony, as the two-year-old daughter of a riding instructor. Today, she’s bringing her Friesian Warmblood up through the levels of eventing from a classical training basis.
