Willinga Park is excited to welcome to the newest member of our award-winning dressage team, Megan Bryant.

Ms Bryant is a Grand Prix Dressage and Grand National Show Horse Rider and has previously ridden to 2-star eventing. Megan is also a qualified EA Level 1 Dressage and General Coach. In 2009 Megan won Equestrian Australia Youth Athlete of the Year and Eventing NSW Junior of the Year. She was Dressage NSW Young Athlete of the Year in both 2010 and 2011. She represented Australia at the 2010 World Cup Dressage Final for Young Riders in Germany and has been on many NSW and National Squads for both Dressage and Eventing from 2008 to 2015.

“We’re excited to have someone so passionate, driven and dedicated able to step in and help us out,” says Terry Snow, “I’ve been very impressed with how professional and talented Megan is, I’m sure she will continue the outstanding work Brett has been doing with all our dressage horses.”

Megan will commence at Willinga Park on 18 November 2019, continuing the work of Brett Parbery who is recovering from a recent injury. Brett was thrown off a horse while training at home, and he is resting. Doctors have said he should be back in the saddle by mid to late January.
