With Connaught, he represented Australia at the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games as an individual after placing fourth at Rolex Kentucky earlier that year. The pair returned to Kentucky in 2007 where they were second and the highest placed American combination. With Truluck, Phillip was third at the Fair Hill International CCI*** in 2006 and 10th at the horse’s first CCI**** at Rolex Kentucky in 2007. They went on to represent the U.S. later in the year and were Individual Silver medalist and members of the Gold meal winning team. He picked up the ride on Woodburn in 2007, and the pair has been very successful over the short duration of their partnership. They won the CIC*** at Wit’s Ends in Canada which was a World Cup qualifier and were third in the Fair Hill International CCI*** (the horse’s first attempt at the level) in October.
Phillip feels that his top three horses epitomize what is unique about the sport of eventing: The Foreman, Connaught and Truluck are all very different yet excel at their job. Phillip admits that although he has never braided a horse, he can put shoes on one. Having grown up on a farm in Nygan, New South Wales, he was responsible for all aspects of his horses’ care. His introduction to horses came through Pony Club and riding on the farm as a child.
Phillip and Evie run a very busy training and teaching business at True Prospect Farm, and Phillip’s list of students is a “Who’s Who” of the stars of the sport. He considers his biggest accomplishment that he is able to make a living doing what he enjoys. When he’s not competing or traveling Phillip spends time with his family and enjoys all sports.
