"I feel the “Geoff Toomby Story” is one of great achievements and needs to be told."
Ken Warriner - Co-Founder Consolidated Pastoral Company, Australia
"He’s definitely a fella with vision and I have a lot of respect for Geoff and the technique he has developed and refined. If you were to compare my father’s technique with Maurice Wright’s and Geoff Toomby’s, I would say Geoff’s is the best."
John McRae - Owner / Operator since 1956 of Lisbourne Park, Jeogla, NSW
"There are good horsemen in Australia with many different styles, but very few possess the ability to work the human as well as the horse."
Cameron Kruckow - Manbulloo Station Manager, Northern Territory
"I hope that young people, and particularly young people from Northern Queensland, will have the opportunity to learn from Geoff and Vicki at their training facility, in order to secure the skills and experience required to move into the pastoral and rural industries, giving them meaningful jobs and livelihoods for themselves and their families into the future."
Andrew Cripps - Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, North Queensland
