Wellington, FL – January 6, 2014 –  For legendary horseman and coach George Morris, sharing his secrets for success goes beyond U.S. borders. This month, Morris will be traveling to Australia and New Zealand, where riders and auditors will have the opportunity to learn from the best in the business. After retiring as Chef d’Equipe of the United States Show Jumping Team, Morris has set his sights on developing the future of the sport by conducting clinics around the world. Vicki Roycroft, who will be hosting three of Morris’ clinics, commented, “I always look forward to George’s visits, as every time I learn something new. In this sport, one never stops learning, and after 40 odd years and three Olympics, I still find there is more to know. George has a hard core fan base out here led by me and other Olympic and World Games participants, Rod Brown and Chris Chugg and in New Zealand, John Cottle.” “We are always excited to welcome master horseman, George Morris to New Zealand,” stated Cottle. “We know our riders will greatly benefit from his vast knowledge and his teaching of classical riding.” Morris’ January schedule will include: Jan 10-12: Roycroft Stables           Vicki Roycroft011-61-418-432-842vickiroycroft@bigpond.com Sydney, AustraliaJan 14-16: Ti Papa Farm           John Cottle011-64-212-200-275john@johncottle.com Brookby, New Zealand Jan 18-19: Roycroft Stables- Rider ClinicVicki Roycroft011-61-418-432-842vickiroycroft@bigpond.com Sydney, Australia Jan 21-22: Roycroft Stables – Coaches ClinicVicki Roycroft011-61-418-432-842vickiroycroft@bigpond.com Sydney, AustraliaJan 24-26: Autralian Sporting Equine AcademyAdam Wootten011-61-439-994-669    ase.academy@bigpond.com Victoria, Australia Jan 28-30: Kolora LodgeMichelle Lang-McMahon011-61-404-824-738admin@koloralodge.com.au Queensland, Australia Focusing on helping riders develop correct form and function, Morris has often been referred to as the founding father of hunt seat equitation.
