Scott Brodie

Helping humans heal through horses

Scott Brodie is a master horseman, coach and internationally acclaimed thoroughbred retrainer.

Through his unique equine-assisted program, he brings together traumatised ex-racehorses and military veterans - both trained to perform at the highest level, and both often retired with mental health issues and at risk of death. In partnership, they rebuild trust, confidence and belief in their potential.

This extraordinary work is featured in the upcoming documentary, The Healing (finalist at the 2021 Melbourne Documentary Film Festival).

As a classically trained rider who has been coached by world-class instructors, Scott has schooled horses from break-in to Grand Prix dressage. He is also an accomplished practitioner of the art of natural horsemanship. Drawing on universal principles from both styles, Scott gets the best from both horses and people.

Scott has had over 20 years’ involvement with the NSW Mounted Police as horse trainer, instructor and consultant. As a serving Mounted Police Officer, Scott was selected to represent Australia in the Royal Pageant of the Horse at Windsor Castle. He received numerous honours including the prestigious Silver Spurs Award and a Bravery Citation for mounted operations during a severe incident of civil unrest. Notably, Scott also established and led Racing NSW’s thoroughbred retraining program, where he oversaw the retraining of hundreds of ex-racehorses.

Today, Scott is recognised as a leader in the equestrian field. He is author of ‘Horses from Courses: Retraining Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses’ and has provided expert commentary to media including Channel 10’s The Project, Sydney Morning Herald and Sky Racing. He has presented at major equestrian events such as Equitana, and regularly holds clinics both locally and abroad.

Engaging and passionate, Scott is a rare spirit who inspires hope, wins hearts and changes minds.

Testimonial

Scott is a natural story teller. He has that quality that the very best coaches have, to make you believe you can do something beyond what your own talents tell you is possible. To listen to his story, the most surprising thing is this has all been done in one life. His impact on both horses and humans continues to be profound - and to save lives.

Flying Change Equine Leadership

I had the pleasure of meeting Scott while managing the Royal Australian Navy’s Self Awareness and Recovery Program, which supports return-to-work for service personnel. His equine-assisted program is unlike any other I’ve known. It had a remarkable impact on participants – many of whom had tried traditional therapies and medication, without success. Scott is a true leader with a genuine heart for horses and humans. Working with thoroughbreds under his guidance is a powerful and inspiring experience.

Australian Defence Force

Scott’s story and the work he carries out with the ex-racehorses and veterans is inspiring. He spoke with passion about his craft and the work he does, relating it to the real estate industry in a natural and insightful way. It was a breath of fresh air. Everybody in our team benefited. If you’re looking for a speaker that challenges you to think beyond what you’re doing day-to-day, Scott is that person.
