An Update from Brett
"This month I have been in Thailand coaching Singapore at the SEA Games. Even though Singapore didn't win any medals, I had the chance to make a lot of connections in all of the South East Asian countries. Last weekend I conducted another successful clinic at Boneo Park on the Mornington Peninsula.
We have also hosted an Australian Squad clinic at our place in the middle of December. All members of the high performance panel were here during the week. Since the clinic I have spoken to the Australian selectors, who have indicated that they are looking very closely at Victory Salute and me for Australian representation in February at the Pacific League Qualifier, and in August for the Olympic Games. So in all, things are going well for us in spite of the horrible time everyone has been through over the past four months.

Brett Parbery is a professional dressage competitor who has dedicated his life to the understanding and training of competition dressage horses.
Brett Parbery was raised on a cattle property in the mountainous district of Dorrigo, NSW. He was raised within a professional training stable producing horses for western sports such as cutting, campdrafting and rodeo.
After a fruitful career in the western sports, including a successful stint competing on the pro rodeo circuit of North America and Canada, Brett decided to return to Australia to search for new challenges in the equine industry. Having always been fascinated with the equestrian sports, Brett decided to try his hand at the most complex of them all, Dressage.
This was at the end of 1998. Since committing to dressage, Brett has had success at both State and National levels, and has spent three of the last five years abroad learning his chosen trade from the best in the world, the Germans and the Dutch.
Nowadays, Brett has built up a professional training stable and is based just north of Sydney in the popular equestrian locality of Arcadia. At Suntori Park, Brett and his elite team of dressage horses enjoy the world class facilities provided by the Rapson family.
