To become a WENZ affiliated trainer a current WENZ membership is required with the Coach/Trainer Affiliation option selected. A separate form is also required with your background and relevant qualifications.

WENZ welcomes trainers who share a common philosophy in progressive welfare-first training of the horse, working towards appropriate physical and mental development of both horse and rider to perform at each level of training.

WENZ recognises that there are an array of methods and practices that lead to the appropriate development of a Working Equitation horse. Our sport is an inclusive sport, welcoming riders and trainers from many types of equestrian disciplines.

I have always been passionate about horsemanship and greatly enjoy sharing my knowledge. I am so pleased to be able to introduce others to Working Equitation through my own clinics and WEFNZ (Working Equitation Franklin, NZ) training days/shows as well as offering my judging skills as a qualified C level WEDU (Working Equitation Down Under) judge.
