Ross Smith

Owner, Trainer, Coach & Horse Scout

ROSS IS A KIWI AND BOASTS AN IMPRESSIVE HISTORY AS BOTH AN UPPER LEVER SHOW JUMPER AND EVENT RIDER

Ross has represented New Zealand in showjumping on our imported Holsteiner stallion Quite Cassini, who has recently represented Australia (with rider Jamie Kermond) at the World Equestrian Games in 2014. Certainly a career highlight to see our self produced horse finish in the top 40 in the world!

Ross’s passion is identifying hidden talents, and producing and training horses for the international market. His wealth of knowledge and experience has seen him produce a number of extremely successful equestrian horses, including many Olympic mounts. He can spot raw talent and skill in a horse. Scouting for talented youngsters who have the potential to excel at an elite level is a top priority for his clients.
