About George Johnson

GEORGE JOHNSON - LEVEL 2 EA SHOWJUMPING SPECIALIST COACH


George is widely respected as a stylish and consistent competition rider. A former member of the National YR SJ Squad, George now competes at World Cup shows across the country.  He is a great coach and we have had very good feedback from his previous clinics here. He has a great connection with riders at all levels and ages and we are pleased to have him back at Fernances Creek. If you are just starting out or preparing for your next event, George will improve your skills.

He regularly travels to compete at most major events and enjoys regular success with his horses Ozbred & Wondaree Sprite (owned by Kate Wallace from Victoria).

George applies the same sympathetic and conscientious approach to his training of young horses. He is also gaining a popular following as an insightful & thorough coach.

She is great with adults and kids and has been coaching at Fernances Creek for several years, She is a much loved coach by us and her students. She will take you and your horse through the paces no matter what level you are riding. 

The format of the day will allow for coaching as well as a round on the course. If there are specific jumps you want to jump or need to jump higher or lower, just ask Nic. It will be a fun day and allow you to prepare for other events if you are competing. If you have a new horse or just want to improve your riding, this is the training day for you.
