Having begun riding at a very early age and as a result of a strong family involvement in the sport, Billy’s life has since been dedicated to producing showjumping horses to the highest level. He has represented Australia on multiple National, senior and young rider teams, and has campaigned & produced world class horses, a few of those include Royal Selections, Dutch Choice, Balmoral Tim Tram, Nicalette NZPH and Stardom. Billy won the Australian World Cup League in 2005 and was Runner up in 2010/2011, as well as won many state and National titles including the 2011 New Zealand National Senior Title.

Billy is renowned for his ability in getting the best out of every horse, and every ride he gives. He believes his success is the result of his approach towards his horses, “treat them as serious horses, take your time in training and do not rush them, your horse has to be confident, confidence comes from trust and that comes from creating a partnership.” Billy is envied for his knack with young or difficult horses, which complements his belief in the importance of providing horses with the best possible start to their performance career.

Billy is partnered with New Zealand Performance Horses; NZPH is a world-class sport horse business located in Hawkes Bay, which is on the East Coast of New Zealand. This association sees him not only spending part of his year in New Zealand riding at some of their best shows but also producing NZPH horses for competition here in Australia. Together they constantly have a large range of purpose-bred horses for sale, at varying levels and suitable for many equestrian disciplines.
