British Eventing has a new favorite coach, and his name is David O’Connor. On Feb. 4, the new U.S. national eventing coach made a second consecutive visit to the annual International Eventing Forum at Hartpury College in Great Britain to demonstrate cross-country training.

In the two days preceding the conference he also took the opportunity to work with British-based American riders Jules Stiller, Clark Montgomery and Tiana Coudray, and it was obvious that Coach O’Connor is thriving in his new role and busy schedule.
