Its different... love it. Love that each show is never the same as what you watched last time you visited.
Love that humans, horses, dogs, goats, geese, cattle, all have different personalities.
Puppies are beautiful, especially when they are old enough to muster other small goats etc.
Keep up the good work Tom love it.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you so much for the lovely review and ongoing support! We’re so glad you appreciate the uniqueness of each show—it’s true, with so many different animals (and humans) involved, no two shows are ever quite the same! The pups definitely steal the spotlight as they grow and start finding their feet.
We hope you had an amazing time in the Top End region and look forward to welcoming you back next time you're in Katherine.
Thanks again,
Tom, Annabel and the team

This show is more about the training of the animals and the amazing things they can do when you have a little insight into how they think. I think Tom and his team are doing a great job. They may even have a little horse whisperer in them. Also Kudos to them for raising $100,000 for Dolly’s dream. Great show. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the show and connected with the heart of what we do—sharing a deeper understanding of animal behaviour and the training behind it. Your kind words about the team really mean a lot. We're also incredibly proud to support Dolly’s Dream, and it's thanks to people like you that we've been able to make a difference. Thanks again for coming along and for your support! We hope you had a wonderful time in the Top End of the Northern Territory and we look forward to welcoming you back to Katherine Outback Experience next time your are in Katherine.
Thanks again,

The incredible insights the show provided into the behaviours and responses of the animals to human interactions were fantastic. The level of skill of the team and the animals left us in awe. The show highlighted the care and respect shown between the farmers and animals. A wonderful experience.

Absolutely loved the dogs. The different personalities of each dog meant the handler had to constantly adjust

I have already recommended this experience to many friends & all our family!! For city folk like us this was so interesting, educational & entertaining. Tom, together with Vanessa & his daughter Matilda, showed us how horses & dogs are trained for special purposes.
We specially loved seeing the dogs respond instantly & with eager anticipation to every word & sound from Tom. The kids in the audience had fun using their voices to control a wayward dog, as Tom had demonstrated.
Tom & Matilda also showed their horse riding skills for mustering.
Of course to hear Tom play his guitar & sing wonderful Australian songs that he has composed, was quite a highlight. We were in awe when he played & sang while riding his horse & used the sound of the horse’s hooves as his tempo.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Many thanks for your kind words and for taking the time not only to review us but to refer us to your friends and family. We are so please you loved the show including the horses, working dogs and Tom's music. You have also made Matilda's day (she's only just started performing with the team)!
We hope you had a wonderful time in the Top End and hope you visit again next time you are in Katherine.
Thanks again,
Tom, Annabel, Matilda and the team

Had a very enjoyable evening. Great value for money. The horse training, dog training and musical entertainment kept us engaged, interested and fun too.
As they say - never work with animals.
Staff were friendly and up for a chat.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Many thanks for taking the time to review us, we are so pleased you enjoyed the show, found it fun and engaging and great value for money. Correct, they do say never work with children and animals, we missed that memo!

Horse handling was great to see. Tom has an amazing affinity with dogs and horses. He is a very consummate showman who loves working with livestock.
Response from Host, Jun 2023

The way Tom connected with the animals to gain their trust and control their movements in such a calm manner was wonderful to watch. Horses unrolling a swag then lying on it was incredible.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Many thanks for your kind words, we are so pleased you enjoyed watching and learning about the way Tom trains the horses. We hope you equally enjoyed your time in the Top End and hope you visit again next time you are in Katherine.
Thanks again for taking the time to review us, it is much appreciated.

We really loved the show. Being city dwellers but country people at heart, it was wonderful to pat buffalo, goats, donkey, horses and beautiful dogs. We were able to have a go at training a working dog !
The commentary was excellent, interesting and fun. Loved it!
Debbie_F, Aug 2020
It was interesting to see how breaking horses and training dogs are done. However. I felt that it dragged on in places with not a lot to keeps us entertained, particularly the dogs.
