"I've always gravitated to that type of horsemanship where it's incorporating the horses idea as much as my own and I think a horse will learn and give you as much as they can if they are on your team. They will try extra hard for you if they respect and want to do things for you." - Kylie Graham.

Kylie Graham (nee Atkinson) is a well respected horse woman, who also has a great love for the Droughtmaster breed. Kylie's Grandfather, Monty Atkinson was one of the founders of the Droughtmaster breed and MAGS (Monty Atkinson Genetics Sale).

Raised on the Valley of Lagoon Station, situated on the headwaters of the Burdekin, Kylie is 1 of 4 Daughters who all play a significant role in carrying on the MAGS genetics to this day.

Now working along side her partner Mat, and watching her two children develop their love for horses and cattle, Kylie recognises the current challenges in adapting to market changes, and looks to the future challenges her children may face as they reach adulthood and step into the industry.
