Welcome to Homegrown Horsemanship
Hi everyone, and thanks for visiting my page.
I’m Rochelle McGinty, an experienced horsewoman offering a wide range of professional equine services across New Zealand. With years of hands on experience handling horses of all ages, types, and temperaments, I’m passionate about creating confident horses and capable riders.
Travelling in our bus, I work with both horses and their people, and I’m available to come to you wherever you are.
What I Offer:
• Backing and starting green or young horses
• Schooling under saddle and groundwork
• Support with difficult or misunderstood horses and ponies
• Private lessons and coaching for all ages
• Equisage therapy hire for performance and recovery
• Holiday animal care (horses, pets, lifestyle blocks)
• General horsemanship support and advice
I believe in building trust between horse and rider through calm, consistent handling and thoughtful training. Whether you’re struggling with a behavioural issue, need help bringing a young horse into work, or just want to feel more confident in the saddle, I can tailor support to suit you and your horse.
A Note on Rehoming:
While rehoming horses is still something I occasionally do, it’s no longer my main focus. When I do have a horse available, I ensure they’ve been given a solid foundation and real-world experience before finding their ideal match.
Keen to Chat?
If you’re looking for experienced support with your horse, riding progress, or animal care – or want to know if I’m passing through your area – feel free to message me. I’m here to help and happy to travel.
Thank you again for stopping by.
