BREEDING
CM Sporthorses - Cleveland Bay, Warmblood & Coloured Sporthorses:
At CM Sporthorses we are striving to produce Quality Cleveland Bay, Warmblood & Coloured Sporthorses for all Olympic Disciplines.
We aim to supply riders horses with great bloodlines, yet take into account that not everyone has a bottomless wallet!
Our horses are sensibly priced to suit all budgets.
We select our mares for their Breeding, Temperament and Conformation, taking each into account and not settling for the 'two out of three ain't bad' line of thinking. If they did not get 3 out of 3 they did not make it to our paddock.
We believe that our current breeding stock are blessed with lines that will produce wonderful Sporthorses for us to provide to riders wishing to succeed in the future.
We are trying to offer Cleveland Bay Sporthorses in, not only the lovely Bay colour that people are used to from them, but also a range of alternative colours too!

EQUINE BREAKING & RE-EDUCATION
John-Mark Payne - Park Ridge, Queensland:
John-Mark Payne lives in Park Ridge, South-East Qld where he has run his Equine Breaking and Re-Education business from home for over 11 years. With over 20 years of experience in breaking and training, John has developed a proven method for starting young horses that produces successful mounts every time. When starting young horses, John prepares them for further education in all disciplines. They are taught all basic groundwork and flatwork including leading, tieing up and lunging obediently, with a focus on bringing out their natural movement. The horses are taught to be supple and accepting of the aids as well as long-reined. They are ridden in the arena, out in a large paddock as well as alongside the road. This prepares young horses for foreign environments and unusual situations.
New Zealand born, John-Mark began riding horses at the age of 3. 10 years later he moved to Australia to later begin riding competitively and professionally. John worked on stations in North Queensland and the Northern Territory, also competing in rodeos all over Australia with multiple wins and placings. He adds to his list of achievements the prestigious title of National Rodeo Association Saddle Bronc Champion.
John also competed in Western Reining for many years, winning the Queensland Restricted Open Futurity on his horse Tom's Eddie in 2004, as well becoming a finalist in the National Open Futurity at Sydney in the same year. John's reining horses were trained by himself. while he received dressage lessons from Fiona Williams and Vivian Wearing. He still trains with Vivan Wearing to further enhance his expertise.
The progressive approach to dressage appealed to John, as he has a deep passion for working with horses, although currently he chooses to focus more on training his own horses than competing, with help from Glennis Barry, Nicole Tough, Vivian Wearing and Nancy Jack, John is training his horse Arthur to advanced levels of dressage.
