Default Horse riding in Cairns

Hi we're hoping to be moving out in 2008 with the ambulance service.
And I've been unable to find what i'm looking for of the net so I thought I'd ask here. I like to Show jump and would like to either take my horse with me or sell him and buy another out there, but all i can find is outback riding and tourist treks. Is there places where I can keep a horse at livery and hopefully carry on competing, I'm sure there must be as Australia is one of the top 5 equestrian nations but can't find what I want to be reassured.
Any help gratefully received.
Nikki

Hi Nikki.
I see lots of horses in Cairns and drove past a showjumping event only last week at Freshwater.
There is a racetrack at Woree and more than one trekking company for holiday makers so it seems the area is well up horsy wise.

Here's one which may be the sort of thing you are looking for. It's a really beautiful spot too.
