Joe Gardiner

Joe Gardiner is a horse trainer on the Sunshine Coast, QLD.
Joe started his journey with horses at the late age of 19, working as a ranch hand in British Columbia, Canada.

Joe then went on to perform as a lead role in the Australian Outback Spectacular show on the Gold Coast before transitioning to the world renowned horse show, Cavalia. Joe spent over 5 years performing and touring the world with various shows throughout the US, China and Europe.

Now back in Australia, Joe runs his horse training business ‘Gardiner Equestrian’ and continues to perform with his horses through his entertainment business ‘2Up Entertainment’.
At the base of any good performance with a horse, is a solid training foundation and a strong connection to the horse.
Joe’s philosophy towards horses, gentle methods and forgiving approach within the training come from his experience working with and learning from horsemen of various backgrounds, disciplines and nationalities throughout his career.
Joe believes that the thing that defines any good horse trainer is the core principles that underpin the various techniques and methods.
