Vivian Wearing

A Passion for Teaching

Why do Australia's leading horsemen describe Vivian Wearing as the trainer's trainer and the best all-round horse woman in Australia. Why is she is such demand as a teacher and clinician?

Is it because she can sum up people and horses with equal ease or because she is passionate about teaching and lives, eats, breathes, sleeps and dreams it? Is it her ability to connect with her students and instantly assess their level of competence and the areas they most need help or because she listens to the horse, whose way of going tells her what needs to be worked on? Or is it because she has an open mind and the ability to pick up riding and training techniques from anywhere and analyse and adapt them very quickly?

According to leading horseman, Ian Francis, it is all of these and it is also because Vivian has competed and won at the highest level in almost every equestrian event that exists. 'What most people don't know about Vivian is how capable and successful a competitor she was prior to starting her teaching career', Ian said. 'She was tough to beat'.
