ABOUT US
Paul has been riding for the past 25 years competitively in Dressage, Showjumping and Eventing.
In the late ‘90’s he almost gave up horse riding altogether as he became frustrated with the instruction and coaching available to the competitive rider in Australia.
In the pursuit of a better outcome for horse and rider that portrayed the quality of the dressage masters of yesteryear Paul contacted Heather Moffett, renowned European Classical Dressage trainer and founder of the Enlightened Equitation teaching methods.
Paul was fortunate to be invited to train with Heather in the UK in Classical Dressage.
So impressed was he with the methods and ease of which any rider could start to make significant progress to a better partnership that he continued his training in the UK to become an accredited Enlightened Equitation Level 2 Coach. Through Enlightened Equitation UK, Paul was introduced to the French Classical Dressage methodologies in the School of Legerete (Lightness) created by renowned Classical trainer Phillipe Karl.
In 2010 Phillipe Karl created the Australian Teacher Trainee School of Legerete of which Paul was accepted into and is undertaking extensive tuition to allow him to teach as one of the few Licensed School of Legerete Instructors in Australia.
Dressage is the foundation of all our disciplines and if the horse and rider combination can work in relaxed and harmonious manner whilst displaying elegance in everything they do the opportunity to excel in your chosen discipline is increased considerably.
Paul coaches Classical Dressage and Show Jumping with a strong focus on effective execution as well as elegance in execution to maximise results.
