TNTHorseandHeart:

 A Journey of Horses, Heart, and Healing Adventure

At TNTHorseandHeart, we don’t just offer holidays—we offer meaningful, transformative experiences rooted in love for horses, nature, craft, and community. Whether you're here to ride along the coast, learn from a herd of rescue horses, build a bridle by hand, or simply reconnect with yourself, this is a place where people of all backgrounds are warmly welcomed.

A Family Story Fueled by Passion and Purpose

Founded by Tom, a qualified adventure guide, teacher, and craftsman, TNTHorseandHeart began as a dream to create a life in harmony with horses, children, and the land. Alongside his son Tori, who shares his love of horses, Tom has nurtured a space where people and animals grow together. Many of the horses here were taken in when others could no longer care for them, and now thrive through love, training, and mutual respect.

What started as a family homeschool project has become a vibrant farm and retreat centre that attracts guests from around the world for working holidays, volunteering, beach rides, and adventure experiences.

Craftsmanship 

Tom’s passions go far beyond riding. He’s a skilled and self-taught artisan in:

• Woodwork
  
  

• Metalwork
  
  

• Leatherwork
  
  

From saddle bags and bridles to breastplates, halters, horse archery bows,  buggie, and working harnesses for ploughing—everything is crafted by hand. He even creates homemade car-tyre hoof boots for barefoot horses and performs all his own barefoot trimming.

Tom loves to share these nearly lost handicraft skills with others. If you’re curious and willing to learn, you are welcome to take part in leather crafting, woodwork, natural building, or bushcraft sessions during your stay.

An Inclusive and Supportive Space for All

Tom is a qualified Spatial Dynamics practitioner, a form of biomechanical body-awareness work that helps riders develop a better relationship between their body shape and their horse’s movement, making riding more effective, safe, and comfortable for both horse and rider.

He brings a rich background as a Waldorf class teacher, sports and games instructor, music educator, and circus skills teacher. This makes him especially attuned to working with children and adolescents, and he takes pride in creating a safe and encouraging space for neurodivergent individuals. TNTHorseandHeart actively welcomes diversity in all forms—race, religion, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

Local children are always welcome too—Tom offers free horse riding lessons to kids in the community who would otherwise never have the chance to meet a horse, let alone ride one.
