When it digs deep, deeper than you knew is possible, to achieve more than you even knew was possible for a horse to do. I’ve experienced countless times in my life where I’ve felt I’ve asked a horse to do as much as it possibly can for me for something important that needs doing. Then more importantly what we can learn as humans from them. Horsemanship, a love for horses, a real love, the kind of love that makes you want to understand more about who they really are and what you can do for them, which with even a basic understanding of who they are will result in what they will willingly do for you.

Connecting with and training the mind of the horse, every minute, every moment while we are in their presence, combined with training them physically is a combination resulting in happy, very high achieving horse and trainer combinations.įrom foals, starting, young horses under saddle, to established competition horses. Correct foundations are the core to sustainable great results. Part of our ethos and teachings is that horsemanship is the foundation to great training for any discipline. He is a firm believer of everyone learning and keeping up as much classical training and philosophy alive. He also surrounds himself with as many other real working horsemen and women to learn more of the old school and practical culture. Knowledge that is being lost in today’s arena disciplines that come under the horsemanship banner. Pauly says he is still amazed by what a horse is capable of and what he learns about them mustering in tough conditions that come with working cattle and having to get a real job done. Pauly is passionate about studying classical dressage and in his work he focuses on closing the divide between stockmanship, horsemanship, and English and Western disciplines Together with his wife Lauren, they have built Daniel-Tessari Horse Reflections, pursuing their goal of training and developing confident, soft horses with as much horse and try left in them as possible. Pauly was also successful in the Australian Equitana Brumby Challenge in 2016, where trainers work with a brumby over a period of 150 days – taking them from the wild and training them to then compete over 4 days at Equitana. He has spent his early working life on cattle stations in Australia as a Ringer, drover and colt starter and over the years he has competed in various disciplines. Born and raised working stock on the family property in the beautiful Flinders Ranges and having inherited his family’s respect for the beautiful animals, he started his journey with horses from an early age.

Pauly’s connection and affinity with animals and horses in particular is life-long. Training for a variety of disciplines from working stock horses to dressage.
