The Trainer
Emmy
I have ridden for over 14 years where I started out at Sea Horses Riding Centre in Byron Bay, then moving on to Pegasus Park Equestrian Centre. I spent 12 months training there until I bought my horse Flash at the end of 2007.
Flash and I joined Mullumbimby Pony Club in 2008, and I rode mostly for pleasure - trail riding, mounted games, sporting as well as dressage and show jumping. I then moved onto Brunswick Valley Pony Club, where I was fortunate enough to have had very serious and advance training with some of the best and skilled riders and trainers in the industry. We competed heavily and competitively at various types of competitions- gymkhanas, agricultural shows, interschools as well as hack and dressage competitions.
Flash is now almost 16 and although we've taken a slight step back from heavy competition, I still lightly compete and ride at home almost every day.
I also work at Byron Bay Mobile Equine Practice as an Equine Veterinary Nurse
I've always loved & obsessed over horses, and this passion shows in my training technique. I have trained those that are entering the industry and I can't wait to start training TVN Students.
The Hosts & Location

Lainie started her career in advertising media and publishing culminating in a number of industry leading roles on magazines ranging from Vogue Australia, InStyle and most recently Advertising Director of Marie Claire.
In 2012 Lainie launched a ground breaking not for profit campaign 'Meat Free Week' .The campaign encouraged people world wide to take a week off eating meat in order to raise awareness its over consumption has on animals, health and the environment. The campaign was a global success reaching an estimated 49 million people and engaged many of the worlds leading foodies (including Jamie Oliver as its Ambassador), actors, musicians and prominent experts within the fields of animal rights, human health and the environment.
In 2014 Lainie made the move to Byron Bay, a place she always felt it would be home and it was here she met her now husband Matt. Matt shared Lainie's passion for the environment and animals and in 2016 they purchased The Secret Pocket, 115 acres in the pristine Byron Shire area known as Middle Pocket.
Lainie and Matt lovingly renovated the originals settlers house which they now offer as holiday accommodation and forms part of the new TVN Program. They look forward to opening their property and home to friends, family, Trainee Vet Nurses and visitors.
