Brendan Hart was approached by PA NSW to prepare “Hurricane”. Brendan is one of NSW’s most promising up and coming young polocrosse players who is quickly gaining a strong reputation as a talented horseman. PANSW were therefore delighted when he agreed to take on the young horse with all proceeds for its sale going to PANSW.

Brendan has established his own horse breaking and educating business just out of Goulburn in southern NSW.  Please consider and support Brendan when you are looking for assistance with horse education now and into  the future.
