OUR MISSION

Long Meadows strives to apply the same level of relentlessness and professionalism highlighted throughout the accomplishments of the current show jumping arm of the Rice-Ward family. We provide owners with a resting place for their investment that not only maintains their assets but builds upon them, returning horses that have been improved both mentally and physically. Long Meadows will transform into a consistent piece of the training and competition lifecycle of the horses lucky enough to call it home, forming not only the keystone of future success but the foundation from which it is built. Long Meadows as a business has the stability and surety guaranteed by Rebecca Rice-Ward, a chartered accountant with decades of experience as a partner in a franchised firm managing a variety of intricate corporations and companies, to flourish, grow and produce. This will be complimented by Jock Rice-Ward’s extensive understanding of stakeholder relations and client management forged from his time spent in the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia’s office and a global ASX-100 listed company. Combine this with Jess Rice-Ward’s compassion and experience in dealing with leading equine athletes – their challenges and their faults – on the path to victory, you are presented with a well-rounded, qualified, and formidable team collectively pulling in the same direction, delivering excellence firstly to the animal and secondly, to the owner and trainer alike.
