Qld Horse of the Year 1994
BACKGROUND
Gary started riding at the age of 9 years old in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
He learnt to ride with the Lindgren family - Tim, Roland and Carl. He went to Bomana Pony Club loacted at the Port Moresby Turf Club just outside of town. During the next 10 years, he rode in the following disciplines:
Pony Club, Showing, Dressage,
Steeple chase racing,
Show Jumping, Racing, Eventing,
Polocrosse, Polo
Even though he did not specialise in one discipline, riding in all of these disciplines has helped shape Gary’s horsemanship skills and knowledge.
In 1986 Gary moved to Brisbane (Australia) where he continued riding and teaching.
He trained and competed in eventing, showing and dressage for the next four years and then realised he preferred and appreciated every aspect of dressage training.
He enjoyed working horses gymnastically, taking them through the training scale and seeing the end result.
To this day, he still trains and enjoys it.
Gary now lives south of Brisbane (Qld) on 15 acres with 5 horses, 2 dogs, 1 cat and 4 chooks.
COACHING
In 1990, Gary decided to formalise his teaching qualifications. He trained with various coaches and coach educators throughout the country to obtain his EA (Equestrian Australia) NCAS (National Coaching Accreditation Scheme) Level 1 qualifications.
In 1992 he qualified and since then has coached individuals and/or groups (clinics) nationally (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Rockhampton, Gladstone, Mackay, Proserpine and Townsville) and internationally (California, New Zealand and Japan).
PROFESSION
