  • Wayne Hinder

    Wayne Hinder is a NRHA Pro Trainer, living in South Australia. Wayne has trained cutting horses, cow horses and reining horses for over 40 years, spending 27 years in the USA honing his skills on some of the best horses in the world.

    Today he focuses primarily on reiners and cow horses, and campaigns his two stallions QP Gunshy and Reysn Hope all around Australia with much success. He prides himself on helping non pros chase their dreams and improve their horsemanship. 

    It’s the tail kit! Hard to narrow down to one item in it, but that’s the kit that first introduced us to the Hairy Pony range. With reiners, a beautiful mane and tail is part of the picture. Our show horses all need shiny, long and healthy manes and tails. The tail scissors are a must! Reiners are known for their bid sliding stops. Tails are kept trimmed to avoid pulling out precious tail hair. Our stallion has a huge tail, and the Hairy Pony scissors cut it like a hot knife through butter! 

  • Jodie Mara

     I have been riding since I was a kid, first in Pony Club, then Campdrafting however since 2017 I have found a love of Cutting Horses. The training,
    showing, loping and presenting the horses, I love it all! My highest achievement on my gelding Play Rey, aka Porky, has been the 2018 Area 4 Rookie Title and the 2021 Area 4 Reserve $75NP Title. Porky and I have had a successful 2023 so far competing throughout Qld, as well as bringing on a 3-year-old to hopefully show as his training progresses. 

    I fell in love with Hairy Pony products when sourcing prizes for our local cutting show and stumbled across the luxurious Tail Brushes which I was able to get engraved for the winners of each event. Ever since, I have been adding to my personal collection, currently, the Mud Brush is high on my favourite list due to its versatility. In cutting we acquire points on our horses ‘eye appeal’ so having perfectly groomed tails, shiny coats and removing those sweat marks are a must. The Hairy Pony range brings luxury, finesse and simplicity to the big sandpit and we love it!
