JORDAN PRIEST
I was first introduced to the wonderful world of equestrian competition at Sterntaler,
having my first competition on the school horse Jess ! I have since moved through
the levels of dressage and eventing on a number of horses. Aiming to one day represent
Australia at the Olympics. My major passion lies in the jumping, however I believe
a clear understanding of dressage can benefit the horse and rider in all aspects.
My aim is to teach people to be kind and effective in their riding. I love the
excitement of teaching people towards the first stages of competition as well
as helping them moving up the grades!
