Born with no radial bone or thumb on her right hand, Georgia Bruce had to learn to work with a horses mind rather than use force. Georgia can train horses to do anything, from dressage moves such as the piaffe and the passage to painting pictures and playing croquet. She is passionate about training all animals and believes that positive reinforcement and clicker training is the future for horse training.
Georgia Bruce is a bronze medal winning paralympian who has been training horses from wild brumbies through to elite performance horses for more than 20 years. Georgia has also worked with exotic animals including cheetahs, lemurs, spider monkeys and rhinos. Georgia uses positive reinforcement techniques (Clicker Training) and demonstrates these techniques at trick shows and training demonstrations around Australia with her quarter horse gelding, “Rumba the Wonder Horse.”
She grew up and enjoys living in Kuranda, Far North Queensland
