Ebony Toole - Cove Park Equine Services -Teurong
Over a few years, Ebony Evented up to the old 2* and took many Thoroughbred’s off the track to retrain and home (including working for retrainers as well). She has also had over 4 years working in a Grand Prix Dressage stable as a full time groom. With work being so busy, Ebony sold all her riding horses to focus on her career and start up an Agistment centre on the Mornington Peninsula called Cove Park. After establishing this and with no riding horses she had time to focus on her home bred WB x TB and begin breaking her in. Ebony now focuses on two young horses since also purchasing a beautiful Trakehner as a weanling. These two are now broken in and over the coming years Ebony will focus on taking these two young horses out for exposure and early competition experience.
Ebony has always had a strong interest in bitting and since completing the Bit Bank Accreditation she has taken the next step to getting out and sharing her knowledge with anyone who may need the support. Ebony will be focusing mainly on the Mornington Peninsula (and surrounds) and Geelong areas however may be interested in travelling within Victoria for clinics where an area is not covered.

Danielle Rollings - Border Equine Dentistry and Bit Fitting - Albury/Wodonga
As a child of horse riders, I was introduced to horses at a very young age. Horse riding was a family
event and I spent every minute I could in the saddle. I was a keen pony clubber with a special
interest in eventing.
This passion for horses has continued into my adult life and I spend most weekends out competing in
various disciplines – Eventing, showing, Navigation rides, Dressage, Team Penning… I love giving
everything a go!
I completed a Diploma of Equine Dentistry at the Australian Equine Dental Practice. As an Equine
dentist am often asked my opinion on bits and see first hand the damage that an ill fitting or
unsuitable bit can do to the horses mouth.
Having had difficulty finding a bit for a very sensitive horse, I know how frustrating the process can
be. I look forward to sharing my passion and knowledge to other riders and helping them get the
best out of their horses.
I am available for pony club and educational talks
Service area: North Eastern Victoria and Upper Murray and Southern Riverina (Albury – Wodonga
and Surrounds) – Other areas available by arrangement.

A passionate advocate for confident horse and riders who recognises the key role well fitting and well crafted bits play, Fiona leapt at the chance to increase her knowledge and become an accredited Bit Bank Australia Bit Fitter. Every horse from pleasure to high level competition should be afforded well fitted tack. She looks forward to giving clients the opportunity to find the very best bit for not just the horse, but the horse and rider as a combination.
Horses have always been a part of my life as I started riding before I can even remember, attending pony club and competing regularly. Now days I attend adult riders club and compete in Dressage with my Clydie X Nugget.
In 2016 I became a qualified Equine Myofunctional Therapist through the National College of Traditional Medicine, where I gained knowledge of horses Anatomy and Physiology and how the body works as a whole. Through massage I have worked with horses and their owners to achieve their goals.
I decided to become an accredited bit fitter with Bit Bank Australia as I can understand how an incorrect fitting bit can create dysfunctions throughout the horses body. I have seen some really exciting changes in horses that I have had the opportunity to work with to find their comfort in a correctly fitting bit.
