We are about half-an-hour from a selection of beaches, and about one hour from the Hunter Valley. We can provide accommodation for people and horses so you and your horse can come for a visit and include instruction or schooling.

At Falcon Park we give instruction to individuals and groups and train, school and campaign horses. There are regular showjumping and dressage schools and cross country schools organised at home and at different venue.

28th June - Central Coast Jump Club
Because of all the rain many of the scheduled competitions have been cancelled, but the two recent training days at Jump Club have been very well supported. Falcon Finn, Marsquerade, Legacy and Appreciation have all been doing well and all four went all clear last weekend.

He began competing his own horses with the Irish Pony Club and achieved many wins, including the Two-Day Eventing Championships in 2006. Before coming to Australia Dean was an active member of Eventing Ireland, competing up to One Star and also showjumping to 1.2m level.
