About J & M James Horse Training

Based in Tamworth, NSW, J & M James Horses specialises in building confident, reliable horses through thoughtful, practical training programs tailored to each individual horse.

With a genuine passion for horses and a strong understanding of equine behaviour, we focus on creating calm, responsive horses that are prepared for real world riding — not just the arena.

Our Services

  • Horse Starting: Providing young horses with a strong foundation, ensuring they are well-mannered and responsive.

  • Tune-Ups: For horses that need a reset or refinement, our tune‑up sessions help improve softness, responsiveness, and consistency — keeping experienced horses performing at their best.

  • Yearling Handling: Gentle, effective handling to prepare yearlings for future training. We prioritise calmness, respect, and confidence to ensure a smooth transition into later work.

  • Cattle Work: Training horses for cattle work, enhancing their agility and responsiveness.

  • Custom Training Sessions: Every horse is different. We provide tailored training programs designed to meet specific goals, challenges, or behavioural needs, resulting in a well‑rounded, capable horse.

Why Choose Us?

At J & M James Horses, our training philosophy is built on trust, respect, and clear communication between horse and handler. With years of hands on experience and a deep understanding of equine behaviour, we ensure every horse receives the time, care, and consistency they deserve.
