Anthony has a gentle but informative teaching style & he has broken down his teaching into simple terms. He works with everyone as a group, yet helps everyone individually.He is very easy to approach & has a very positive attitude towards all his students.He is sharing his knowledge & skills and encouraging everyone to be the best they can be with their horse/s.

You can follow Anthony on Facebook, like Reata Ranch page or following the feedback of his students with the facebook group “Finding focus with Anthony Desreaux”.Anthony has been invited over the years to present as a Colt starter in the USA at the “A Legacy of Legends” event in Fort Worth Texas & in Australia in honour of Ray Hunt & Tom Dorrance, Buck Brannaman’s Home Ranch in Sheridan Wyoming to also take part in Bucks annual invitational colt start.

Firstly, the human must 100% believe that if issues surface between the horse and human, the human must take ownership of these flaws; even if said human feels like or actually did not stimulate these actions. The way I teach is about leadership, meaning that the leader must take credit for the bad and allow the horse the glory for the good. I know, hard to wrap your head around it but this is what I believe and I have yet to meet a horse that couldn’t understand this.Now side note, I’m not saying all horses are worth the risk for you to find this out, not at all. Nor am I so delusional to think there aren’t horses who are not sound of body or mind, ie healthy with a normal healthy brain. Rest assured in my experience, there are far more humans this way than horses.

Anthony Desreaux grew up in the Corner Country of outback N.S.W on Mount Wood Station 27kms East of Tibooburra. Horses have always been his passion and he spent all of his youth with his horses.Working years in stock camps and riding many nervous and unconfident horses he grew to realise there must be a better way than what they were doing.Around this time Gordon McKinlay came to teach horsemanship and from there on Anthony had seen a small taste of what was possible with horses.

Although he has a lifetime of horse experience, it’s been the past 20 years that Anthony has taken his skills and advanced his skills by riding more and more horses daily from young colts, older rank horses and horses that are just amazing to ride right from the get go.Having spent time in the USA riding under the tuition of Ray Hunt, Buck Brannaman, Craig Johnson, Pat Parelli and with some amazing horsemen who are making their mark in the USA, Anthony is putting his skills and talent into helping other people who are starting on the same journey he once commenced.

The journey of horsemanship never ends.
