More used to galloping than galleries, Mr Feirer and an old friend will rise to the occasion in January, teaching video artist Lauren Brincat to stand up on horseback.

The Queensland Gallery of Modern Art has commissioned Ms Brincat to produce an exhibit called High Horse and Mr Feirer had a choice of paddocks to find a star in.

“We have four horses we could use,” he said.

“My horses do this all the time.”

But it is Wrangler, his 24-year-old quarter horse, who is most likely to get the nod.

Wrangler is used not just to Mr Feirer standing on his back, but cracking a whip.

Wrangler has been an escort for Australian Idol and starred in several Light Horse parades.

More importantly, this dependable bay gelding has steered many a troubled young person back on track in Mr Feirer’s youth workshops.

“I am ecstatic because Wrangler will be showcased,” Mr Feirer said.

“He has been a very loyal horse for many years for me and I am honoured.”

Gundy, Mr Feirer’s black gelding, may also be in the shot.

Mr Feirer said Ms Brincat had no experience with horses but was “pretty laid back”.

“It will probably take her between one and three hours, depending on how relaxed and calm she is. It should not take her too long at all, if she listens to what I tell her and just relaxes.”

Film producer Poppy Stockell will also visit in January for the ABC television show Move It Mob Style, showcasing dance and healthy lifestyles for indigenous children.

A group of lucky Moruya Koori kids will work with Wrangler and Mr Feirer’s other horses in a segment for the show.

“The idea is to promote a healthy, strong lifestyle for Koori kids,” Mr Feirer said.
