Howdy,

My name is William Besanko. I have been around horses since I was a young teenager living out on a sheep and cattle station out by Burra. Since then I have been learning the art of natural horsemanship and riding both English and Western disciplines. 

I have learnt from many instructors and have worked in riding schools across SA. Each and every instructor gave me the skills and knowledge I have today, but like all good teachers know, there is always more to learn. 

Throughout my journey to learn and become a horse trainer, riding instructor and rider I have learnt that honesty, trust and the understanding of ones ability is needed when working with horses. These values are what I strive to bestow upon my students when teaching riding, horsemanship and horse handling, as these values are much needed in the world of today.

I can’t wait to meet you and share my knowledge of Horsemanship and riding

I’m excited to be part of the team at Alkira Adina. My experience with literacy and numeracy intervention is across my role as Leader of Teaching and Learning, and I grew up with and around horses as a teenager. Working with young people and seeing them feel confident and having success in their learning is what I am passionate about.

Born and raised country gal in NSW. Been teaching for way longer than I’d like to think about. My teaching philosophy is make it fun and interesting and children will be more engaged. I have a passion for animals and a history with horses. Have taught from preschool - year 7 in many different roles over my long teaching career.

Hi everyone! My name is Paige and I’m a registered Early Childhood Teacher. I’ve 10 years of teaching experience, working with children with a wide variety of learning needs. I specialise in educating the youngest of our learners, from preschool up to primary. I have a passion for supporting children’s learning by building a trusting relationship and developing individualised plans to support their learning needs. I have a love for horses and enjoy being able to provide an opportunity for others to be exposed to horses through shared learning experiences. I look forward to getting to know and working with your little ones on their learning journey!

Passionate horse whisperer with a knack for understanding equine secrets (shh, don't tell the other horses Captain Solo is my favourite!). You'll often find me lost in thought during long forest walks or happily trotting along on trail rides, dreaming of the next adventure. Equally fluent in neighs and whinny's, I'm always up for a chat about all things hooves and tails!
