Like me, these two fans weren't able to catch horse handler, Greg Powell at his stand - but were still able to find out about him.  Greg had a busy Equitana 2002, giving demonstrations on his horse handling skills.  He has produced a wonderful video documenting these skills which is now available.

Pat Parelli has attended both Equitana events in Melbourne and was also at Brisbane 2002.  No doubt, he is happy with the success in Australia of his horse and rider education programmes.
David Simons, his wife Sandi and a team of helpers had a very successful Equitana in Brisbane. Always resplendent in their bright orange shirts - you can never miss them.

David has worked very hard to produce a training video and training manuals as well as the John Lyons products which he also promotes.
