GARY'S HORSES
6-year-old friesian stallion Durk Fan Oostenberg, co-owned with Kate Wescombe, is the latest arrival to the Windhill family.
I have been lucky enough to know Gary for over 25 years as a friend and coach. Over the past 10 years I have attributed much of my success in the eventing arena to Gary’s guidance and uncanny ability to explain, demonstrate and have knowledge on how to produce a good dressage test. This I feel is Gary’s sweet spot, test riding before major events to get those movements just right with honest feedback to produce the best out of both horse and rider. I also feel blessed that Gary has pushed and put goals in front of me to strive for in the pure dressage arena. And his support and great coaching helped me cross over to the dark side for an Eventer to win a dressage championship at the 2022 Brisbane CDI.
