Callum Park is a small warmblood stud and training centre located near Canberra and is the home of Grand Prix dressage rider and trainer Susan Elekessy and her husband, breaker, trainer and successful dressage competitor Russell Jarrett.

 

The 40 acre property near Canberra is dedicated training dressage horses and breeding young horses with the potential for Grand Prix dressage. Focus is placed especially on temperament, ability and trainability, and on giving the horses we train the time and correct training to progress confidently and successfully.

 

Susan is a successful Grand Prix level trainer and competitor as well as a successful young horse producer, who trains regularly with some of the best coaches in Australia as well as in Europe, and is a highly effective, thorough and correct dressage coach.  She has a very good eye for training at home and at competitions, and has been used as 'eyes on the ground' by top riders such as Australian Olympic representatives at International shows at small and big tour level, as well as World Young Horse Championship representative riders.  Familiar with many different systems of dressage as well as many different techniques and types of horse, Susan can help riders train horses from the start right through to Grand Prix level.

 

Russell was born into the horsey Jarrett family on their 3000 acre farm near Wagga and has been riding since before he could walk.  He's been a successful racehorse trainer (before being converted to dressage!), and draws from over 35 years experience with horses.  From arabian ponies to the largest warmbloods, Russ 'gets them' and always ensures all the horses get the time they need to develop properly without stress.  A master at long reining, and with many different training techniques at his disposal, Russ produces happy, confident and successful horses and regularly receives 70% scores himself in the dressage arena.
