HEAD COACH - Sarah Revis 

Silverdale Pony Club is super lucky to have Sarah Revis as our long standing Head Coach. Sarah is also the Chief Head Coach of North Harbour District. She is excited to welcome new members, returning riders and their mounts. 

 

Sarah has been involved with ponies since the age of four but didn’t get a chance to join Pony Club until she moved to New Zealand from the UK as a 14 year old. Her first pony was a New Zealand bush pony called Jack, who she evented up to 95cm. She was a member of the Wainui Pony Club for many seasons and represented the area in dressage, show jumping and eventing. 

 

Coaching since the age of 18, Sarah now runs her own business called Revis Equine and is a full-time rider and certified coach based in Waitoki. Revis Equine holds events,camps, workshops and private coaching as well as sponsoring and supporting numerous events in PC and the wider equestrian community. Sarah also competes her own horses across multiple disciplines. She successfully competes in Dressage, Derby, Showjumping and has just won the Amateur North Island Championship coming 4th in New Zealand as well as the recent Woodhill Winter Dressage series.

 

Sarah loves working with riders of all ages, and gains enormous satisfaction from seeing riders enjoying their ponies, having fun and working hard to achieve their goals. Horses are a full time job for Sarah these days so there is little time for anything else. But we are sure she wouldn’t have it any other way!
