Candesa and Darryl, and their herd of horses, reside on a rural 5 acre property bordered by the Albert River in Stapylton, just south of Brisbane, Australia. They both hold qualifications in Equine Management and have a working knowledge and skills in groundwork, horse psychology, and an ability to read horse body language and non-verbal communication.
