THE BROADWAY APPROACH
A little patience.
A stronger connection.
Work directly with Brad Broadway.
Every horse and rider arrives with a different story. Broadway Performance Horses brings the focus back to the foundations: understanding, consistent handling and achievable steps.
Work with Brad Broadway on the skills that matter to you, from becoming comfortable around horses to helping your horse build on its education. The next step should make sense for both of you.
How we begin ↗We begin with your experience, your horse’s history and what you want to achieve, then discuss a suitable next step.
HORSE & RIDER
Find your starting point.
Individual attention, with a plan shaped around your experience and your horse’s readiness.
02 / FOR THE YOUNG HORSE
Starting under saddle
Breaking-in built on preparation. Handling, groundwork and a gradual introduction to ridden work, guided by readiness rather than a deadline.

03 / FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER
Training & restarting
Revisit the basics, return to work or develop clearer everyday handling. Start with an honest conversation about your goals and your horse’s history.
Enquire about trainingServices are subject to horse and rider suitability, venue and availability.
THE HORSE COMES FIRST
Confidence is built.
It isn’t rushed.
Good education leaves room to listen. We look for understanding, not just a completed task, and take the time to revisit a step when a horse or rider needs it.
Progress can be a quiet halt, a more settled approach or the first moment something clicks. Those small changes are worth noticing.
CLEAR EXPECTATIONS
Time well spent.
Indicative prices in Australian dollars. Enquire to confirm suitability, availability and your total price before booking.
INDIVIDUAL LESSON
Build your confidence
$70 / session
45 minutes of individual tuition, with an additional 15 minutes allowed for preparation.
- Ground skills and ridden learning as appropriate
- Clear focus for each session
- Horse and rider suitability checked first
TRAINING & RESTARTING
Build on the basics
$400 / week*
An assessed return-to-work or further-education program. Duration agreed after discussing history, fitness and goals.
- Up to five tailored education sessions weekly, with rest and workload adjusted to readiness
- Basic paddock care, daily checks and standard hay ration
- Weekly photo or video update and owner handover session
STARTING UNDER SADDLE
A considered beginning
$450 / week*
Six-week initial booking. Plan for six to eight weeks, with progress reviewed weekly. More time may be needed; completion is never guaranteed by a date.
- Handling, tack acceptance and progressive ridden foundations as appropriate
- Up to five tailored education sessions weekly; not necessarily five ridden sessions
- Basic paddock care, daily checks and standard hay ration
- Weekly progress update and an owner handover session
*Standard hay ration is agreed for each horse before quoting. Owner supplies suitable hard feed and supplements. Additional feed/hay, veterinary care, farrier, dentistry and transport are excluded and agreed separately. Your written quote confirms inclusions, location, any applicable tax and the total payable before you commit. Existing client arrangements remain unchanged.
THE WHOLE COMMITMENT
Know the likely total.
At $450 per week, allow $2,700 for six weeks or $3,600 for eight weeks, before agreed extras. Extra time is discussed before extending the booking.
This is a planning range, not a promise that every horse will be ready to go home in eight weeks.
THE RIGHT MATCH
Size is only part of the picture.
Tell us your horse’s height in hands, build, age, health and handling history. Acceptance depends on a suitable rider, tack, facilities and the work required.
Small ponies require a suitable rider for backing. Larger horses may need a different feed allowance. Height alone does not set the training fee, and acceptance is never automatic.
A THOUGHTFUL FIRST STEP
Let’s get to know
you both.
You don’t need all the answers before we talk.
- 01
Tell us where you’re at
Your experience, what you hope to achieve, and anything your horse finds difficult.
- 02
Agree on the right approach
Discuss suitability, timing, location and costs. You’ll know what is included before deciding.
- 03
Take it step by step
Start with clear expectations, review progress and build a practical plan to carry forward.
LIFE WITH HORSES
The partnership in practice.
Understanding, balance and confidence. The foundations I bring to my work with horses and riders.
BEFORE YOUR VISIT
Ready for the ride.
Preparation helps us give our attention to you and your horse. All visits are by prior arrangement.
Download the existing riding & handling waiver ↗Word document. Ask Brad to confirm the current agreement before your visit.
What should I wear?
A correctly fitted, fastened equestrian helmet, suitable riding boots with a defined heel and comfortable riding clothing. A body protector is strongly recommended, particularly for children and inexperienced riders.
Can I start as a beginner?
Tell us about your experience when enquiring. The activity and horse must be suitable for the rider. Ground-based learning may be the right starting point; riding is not automatically guaranteed.
What do you need to know about my horse?
Age, handling and ridden history, time out of work, health considerations and your goals. Be open about behaviours that could affect handling or training so we can assess the right next step.
What happens before a session?
We confirm the activity, location, equipment and participant information. The riding and handling agreement must be completed, with parent or guardian consent for anyone under 18. Horse activities carry inherent risks; no horse or activity is completely safe.
What about weather or cancellations?
Horse welfare, ground conditions and weather can affect sessions. A written cancellation and rescheduling policy will be supplied before you book.
How long does breaking-in take?
Allow a six-week initial booking, with six to eight weeks allowed for planning. Progress depends on the individual horse. We agree goals, review weekly and discuss extra time before extending. A young horse still needs continued education after returning home.
Do you accept every horse size?
No automatic acceptance by height or breed. Horse and rider size, physical readiness, tack, facilities and behaviour must be a suitable match. Please include height in hands and build in your enquiry. Smaller ponies are not automatically cheaper to educate.
