With significant investment over the last 5 years our amazing property Horse Shepherd Park is now a multi-faceted equine destination including HSP Advanced Equine, HSP Obstacle Trail, HSP Rider Gym and Horse Shepherd Equine Sanctuary. 

In early 2021 the Victorian State Government supported by Andy Meddick AJP announced a funding grant for Horse Shepherd Equine Sanctuary for the purchase of enhanced rehabilitation equipment including a solarium, water treadmill and water spa.

Situated on 200 acres Horse Shepherd Park, 160 Gascards Lane is nestled beside the Whipsticks State Forest in Gordon, 3345 Victoria.

Troy has horses in his blood, his grandfather was a race trainer and his grandmother an accomplished equestrian, he has been around horses all his life.

Growing up in NSW where he regularly attended pony club and pony camp. From a family of farmers, he naturally learned about land and pasture management at a very young age. But he was always drawn to the horses, he spent many hours watching experienced trainers, playing with young and troubled horses unknowingly developing his skills. This was where the fascination with the horse’s anatomy and more specifically the hoof began.

For the last 15 years Troy has been working as a farrier, providing essential hoof and health care for many horses and clients. 

Troy is now using all his equine and farming experience to lead the team at Horse Shepherd Park.
