A time to reflect on Australia's Jumping Greats - George Sanna

George Sanna truly is one of the greats of jumping in Australia. From the age of 12 when he took up riding, he was hooked. His jumping journey took him to the heights of the sport, representing Australia in both the 1984 Los Angeles and 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, the 1990 World Equestrian Games in Stockholm and the 1993 and 1998 World Cup Finals. Now, George is a revered figure in the coaching world having overseen the development of some of the best riders in the country today, having coached Edwina Tops-Alexander and Julia Hargreaves (Lynch) who were both part of our London 2012 Olympic team. In 2010, he was named the Australian Coach of the Year. He is also an expert at spotting the potential in young horses and turning them into champions.
