CASSANDRA HOSKINS

Queensland Off-The-Track proudly introduces Cassandra Hoskins as a QOTT Acknowledged Retrainer.

Cassie is a committed equestrian, with her love for riding starting from a young age. From getting her first paid job just to pay for her riding lessons, Cassie’s passion for horses grew into riding competitively in dressage and hacking for over 15 years, regularly competing on retired thoroughbreds.

Following an invite to train in the Netherlands with some of the top Dutch riders in the world during 2019, Cassie returned home to Australia with a new drive to share her learnings with the equestrian industry, which lead to the establishment of her business Paramount Dressage and Performance Horses.

Cassie specialises in all things ‘off-the-track horses’. She regularly works with clients who own retired racehorses, while also competing on her own team of thoroughbreds who have enjoyed success across many levels of dressage. Cassie has a soft spot for the breed, admitting they are so often underestimated, especially in dressage. Cassie has a detailed approach to her retraining method and aims to find the right home that is best suited to each individual horse.

“I love the brains of a thoroughbred, they are smart and trainable. Appropriate retraining is crucial for the wellbeing of retired racehorses. Teach them to use their bodies with confidence and relaxation, and they will give you their whole heart. A happy, well mannered, and confident horse means a happy, safe home.”

Cassie owns and operates Paramount Dressage and Performance Horses from her purpose-built property in Tamborine, where she offers coaching, training and sales of  purpose-bred performance horses and retired racehorses.
