Dark Horse Productions has been the trusted partner for film, television, and advertising since 2000.
Founded by Adam Battaglia in 2000, we've grown from a regional NSW operation into Australia's most comprehensive animal training, working with productions ranging from Hollywood blockbusters to local commercials.
That trained animals can elevate storytelling in ways nothing else can, when managed and cared for ethically and professionally.
Our network allows us to source specific animals globally when needed.
We handle every aspect of animal action.
We manage the complexities of international productions.
Our 300-acre property features specialized housing, training facilities, and studio.
Animal welfare isn't just a requirement – it's fundamental to everything we do. Our training methods focus on positive reinforcement, and we work closely with veterinary professionals and welfare organisations to ensure the highest standards of care. We can also provide our own animal and human accommodation and vet while on location remotely.
