Coolibah Lodge is home to the students, and has a kitchenette, with a BBQ, microwave, kettle, toaster and a share fridge (we recommend brining your own portable fridge when attending a larger number camp), this is our classroom and where we share a meal or 2 together. It has 2 bathrooms with a change room toilet and a hot shower in each.
The students have access to the entire facility which stretches of 500 acres, with 2 x 50 foot round yards for a little warm up at liberty. 2 Large riding arenas and David’s favourite 200 foot round yard, where he enjoys developing his horses and adding a purpose “cows”.
The 8acre playground has a permanent cloverleaf, Q box, figure 8 and weave patterns. Join David at a cow camp and spend a little time on the mechanical cow developing those square turns.
Riding out is not a problem, with miles to go. Enjoy riding through the property with some friends after class or on the weekends, with lots of grazing for your horse along the way.
Gathering cattle at Coolibah is a highlight, in David’s Principle to Purpose with Cows 5 to 10 day camps. This camp is not just about the cows, but a way to learn to add purpose to your horsemanship.
Feel like being a little social, come and enjoy a campfire with a tall story or 2. David is usually around after class, to talk about you and your horse and answer any questions you may have. Camp ovens are a great way to cook, at Coolibah.

Hay is usually not a problem as David will have some on site for purchase, make enquires as to what is available at the time of your horsemanship camp.
