About Saddle & Soul Equine Centre
Horses are at the heart of everything we do at Saddle & Soul Equine Centre. Our goal is to create a space where horses thrive—physically, emotionally, and mentally. By honouring their needs and fostering trust, we build a foundation for true connection, allowing both horses and humans to experience health, happiness, and harmony together.
Our centre is a space to learn, grow, and connect with horses in a meaningful and supportive way. Through education, hands-on experiences, holistic care, and equine-assisted support, we offer a respectful, heart-centred approach to horsemanship.

Meet The Director
Alana Robins
Founder & Director, Saddle & Soul Equine Centre
Alana Robins is the driving force behind Saddle & Soul Equine Centre as well as sister company The Equine Apothecary. With a lifelong love for animals and an innate ability to understand and support horses, Alana has created a centre that reflects her deep respect for equine wellbeing and her belief in the transformative power of the horse-human bond.
Her journey with horses began in childhood on her family’s 3,500-acre farm in Western Australia’s wheatbelt, where she spent her days riding across vast landscapes, mustering sheep, and caring for rescued animals. Growing up, being with horses and animals was her safe and happy place. This early connection with horses and animals shaped her philosophy of holistic horse care, which remains at the heart of Saddle & Soul Equine Centre today.
Beyond her work with horses, Alana has an extensive background in natural health, having studied and practiced a range of healing modalities for humans. Her knowledge of nervous system regulation, trauma-informed care, and holistic wellness influences the way horses and people are nurtured at the centre.
Alana’s leadership extends beyond the paddock. Her business career spans industries within Australia and internationally, she has coached individuals in C-Suite positions in heart-centric business practises and she has held volunteer positions on the Board of Directors for two Australian Steiner schools, reflecting her passion for children's education and wellbeing, community, and holistic learning. Alana is also the former President of a local Pony Club, where she helped shape positive and enriching experiences for young riders.
Alana has created more than just a horse facility at Saddle & Soul Equine Centre —it is a heart-centred community where horses and people are seen, heard, and supported to thrive physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Under her guidance, the centre offers a vast range of services that allow people to reconnect with themselves through the wisdom of horses.
Surrounded by a beloved herd, Alana continues to advocate for holistic equine wellbeing, ethical horsemanship, and the incredible potential for healing and transformation when humans and horses come together with respect and understanding.
