Brad Weeks

Brad Weeks is a natural horseman who hails from Bellmere in South/East Queensland. With his wife, Leanne, they operate the Queensland Natural Horsemanship Centre. Although now living in Bellmere, Brad originated from the Central Queensland region. His family have been involved in the Rural industry since the 1800’s in varying ventures, including dairying, cropping, and beef cattle.

Leanne was a member of the Queensland Police Mounted Unit for a number of years, performing mounted escorts for the opening of Parliament, Governor’s Escorts, parades and mounted operational duties. She has competed in dressage for years and has seen, first-hand, the benefits of Natural Horsemanship in her Dressage training.

Brad has had an avid interest in horses all his life from his attachment to the land. Whilst working as a Detective in the Police Stock Investigation Squads of Rockhampton, Brisbane and Charleville, on properties from the Gulf to Cameron’s Corner, Brad has witnessed first hand, the more traditional methods of horse ‘breaking’ and training. He has never advocated such techniques. Instead he always felt that there must be a better way to get the best from a horse.

Through patience and persistence, not fear and force, Brad possesses an uncanny ability to communicate with a horse to overcome resistance and gain respect from the horse. He began training and teaching with PNH and ANH, becoming a leading international instructor. In order to take natural Horsemanship to the next level he set up the Queensland Natural Horsemanship Centre and spent over two years designing and create an innovative NH program which caters specifically for all training disciplines, and is also designed to train people to start horses and deal with problems which may occur in a natural and intelligent and gentle way.
