HORSEMANSHIP FEATUREd presenter
WARWICK SCHILLER
Horses have been part of Warwick Schiller’s world for as long as he cares to remember. As a 20-something-year-old he headed to the States to turn his dream of training horses into reality. While he has dabbled across the disciplines, he was hugely competitive in reining and went on to represent Australia at two World Championships as well as becoming the National Reining Horse Association reserve world champ.
His talent in teaching has seen his students win coveted reining titles and championships. Warwick has fine-tuned his training techniques to ensure success for people seeking to better understand their relationship with their horse for better outcomes for both.
