Based on 36 acres with a 60x40 SJ arena, cross country training facility, covered yards, paddock riding and great hacking 🐴🤎 It all started with humble beginnings at a local riding school in Auckland for 22-year old eventer, Brea Walker. From pony club certificates and teams events to rubbing shoulders with the very best of the sport internationally, it has already been a journey Brea never could
have dreamed up… and this is only the beginning. Her desire to learn started with admiring the senior riders at pony club and trying to learn all she could from them to helping out the likes of Ginny Thompson and Sam Mynott during the school holidays to soak up as much knowledge as she could. A recommendation then landed Brea the most pivotal role of her career working as a rider and groom for Sir Mark Todd at just 18 years old. This is where Brea’s passion for coaching really came to fruition. Her ability to turn what she loves into her career has only been made possible through others sharing their knowledge with her. She now lives by the motto that knowledge is useless unless it is shared. Off the back of another educational stint abroad working for Laura Collett MBE, current Badminton Champion and Tokyo Olympic Gold Medalist, Brea is ready to re-establish her coaching and schooling business and build her string of competition horses. Brea’s coaching goal is to share her training system and method based on having solid clear foundations to riders all over New Zealand. She has clear systems that begin with excellent horse management and training the basics properly ensuring we future proof ourselves, leaving no stone unturned. Her coaching dream would be to one day coach the High-Performance Eventing Squads in New Zealand and possibly even abroad. Brea put her own competing on hold to give herself time to learn from eventing legends abroad. She is a big believer of not being afraid to follow your own path, therefore has prioritised establishing her knowledge base at a younger age. She is now excited to draw from this and establish her eventing team back in New Zealand. Representing New Zealand on the world stage is Brea’s ultimate personal riding goal. Aiming to establish a solid team of horses and a competitive record at 4* level before eventually moving her team abroad for an international campaign at the likes of Badminton and Burghley has always been the dream. Brea could not pursue this path without the support from her incredible sponsors, owners, clients, friends and family. For them she is extremely grateful.
