Victoria Hamilton
Rider and Coach

Victoria Hamilton is one of Australia’s top dressage riders and her love of horses is contagious and apparent in her training and coaching. 

Victoria has trained and competed throughout Australia and overseas. She has won numerous State and National Championships, two Australian World Challenge Finals (with Ardito in 1998 and Asaachen in 2000), two Australian Dressage Leaderboard Titles (with Asaachen in 1998 and Kaduso in 2002) and was the runner-up in the World Final of the PSI/FEI World Dressage Challenge in Germany in 2001. Victoria always states this as being her competition career highlight.

She has toured Australia for many years conducting clinics and is experienced coaching riders of all ages, abilities and ambitions. Victoria was the W.A. State Young Rider Dressage Coach in 1998, 1999, 2004 and 2005.  In 2006 she founded WADYRA (WA Dressage Young Rider Association) where she coached until 2017, resigning to concentrate once again on competing.

 2018 brought a return to the competition arena for Victoria with incredible success with Danzio VH and Scandric VH. With several more superstars in training the future certainly looks exciting!
