Principal Trainers Carol Richardson and Nick Saville

The team at Panama have over 30 years of professional experience training and preparing both horses and riders as well as competing.

Ex-international Showjumper Carol having started her career in racing and being a successful amateur jockey until the loss of one of her eyes in an accident curtailed her race riding.

Carol is responsible for the day to day running of the yard as well as educating the young horses especially the jumpers which is her fortie.

Panama was home to a successful team of Show Jumpers who won over 100 B.S.J.A classes per year as well as winning and being placed internationally and nationally on our own and clients horses. 

We have also qualified and competed successfully horses for all major finals ie. Horse of the Year Show, Royal International at Hickstead, Dublin, Winter Championship etc. Cavan Young Horse Finals and B.S.J.A. Festivals.

The horses were ridden mainly by Carol Richardson who has been regularly in the top 50 B.S.J.A rankings, they are trained by Nick Saville who has many years expertise in training and producing horses at all stages.

Nick Saville  has a long career, both riding and training show jumpers and National Hunt Racehorses, producing many Champions and International Competition Horses. Although injury curtailed Nick's riding career he has taught show jumping riders to win at any level from amateurs and young riders to professionals. Nick was Chef d'equip for the British Young Riders Team when they competed in the Inter Countries Challenge in November / December 2003 and overseas.
