Springvale Equine
Located in Springvale, only 7kms from the township of Alexandra is the small equestrian establishment, 'Springvale Equine Limited'.
Here, Shane Cooper and Nicky Seyb breed, raise and train horses for the competition and pleasure market. The combination of Shane and Nicky is one of diversity: Shane has ridden horses all his life, having a predominately rodeo background, in which he competed successfully both here in New Zealand, Canada and the U.S.A. He continues to enjoy Team Roping. Shane also competes in the show jumping arena and loves to go hunting with the Central Otago Hunt Club.
Nicky has also been riding all her life, and is especially interested in show jumping horses. She has enjoyed success in many various competition arenas including showjumping, show hunter, show classing, dressage, eventing and even western pleasure and halter.
At Springvale Equine, we 'break in' or 'start' a select number of horses each year. We also specialise in 'Horse and Owner Education'; helping with issues such as loading on the float, and developing a mutually respectful relationship with your horse. We also can help with horse management, e.g feeding and exercise. Please contact us for further information.
Shane Cooper is also a registered farrier in the Central Otago and Southern Lakes district. Nicky Seyb is available to take riding lessons, and specialises in jumping tuition, preferably on your own mount, however we can sometimes provide horses. Nicky also has a clipping service. We take horses on for schooling and fitness work. The stallions stand at public stud from August until January.
