<p>Following the successes of the <strong>Guillaume Batillat</strong> clinic and the <strong>EqPH Christmas Classic</strong> show jumping competition, both held at the <strong>Manila Polo Club</strong> in December, <strong>EqPH</strong> and <strong>JFJC Equestrian</strong> continue their efforts to grow the sport by bringing in world-class trainer <strong>Trevor Coyle</strong>.</p><div><br/></div><p>Trevor is one of the greats from an era that produced riders of the most extraordinary talent and quality. A winner of some of the most prestigious competitions in the world, including the Aachen Grand Prix and the Geneva Grand Prix, Trevor was also a part of several Irish teams that were victorious in the Nations’ Cups of Dublin, Rotterdam, and Calgary, among many others. Trevor was successful at the highest level of the international sport, including being 2nd in the 1999 World Cup Final, and individually placed at the European Championships and World Equestrian Games. </p><div><br/></div><p>Aside from his extensive successes as a rider, Trevor’s career has had longevity as a coach, producer of horses, and mentor at the top sport. Currently coaching top Philippine rider Joker Arroyo with Guillaume, Joker lauds Trevor’s technical and meticulous approach to training: “I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to train with some of the best athletes and coaches in the world, and my experience working with Trevor has been nothing short of extraordinary. His patience and level of commitment bring out the best in both the horses and riders; I feel that he has improved my own riding significantly in a very short period of time. He is attentive to detail and very precise, and focuses heavily on making the horse and rider use themselves in the most effective way possible.”</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/71273d32-7b29-4435-b5c3-12a55777f3d7_horse racing.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="EqPH and JFJC Equestrian Kick Off 2024 With A Bang, Bringing in Living Legend Trevor Coyle"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Trevor Coyle and the legendary CRUISING in the Aga Khan Cup at the Royal Dublin Horse Show<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> The Irish Independent  </em></span></span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>EqPH President and Manila Polo Club Equestrian Committee chairperson <strong>Carissa Coscolluela</strong> is particularly excited about the latest project: “Having Trevor in the Philippines is a once in a lifetime opportunity for our athletes at home, and one that I hope many will take advantage of. Never before have we seen a foreign rider and trainer of this caliber in the country. After so many years riding at the most elite level, and training some of the world’s best riders and  horses, Trevor has built a wealth of knowledge and experience that he is eager to share with our local riders. We are in for a treat.” </p><div><br/></div><p>The Trevor Coyle clinic will end with the 2024 EqPH Cupid Classic, presented by <strong>Misibis Bay Resorts</strong>, to be held at the Manila Polo Club on <strong>February 17</strong>.
