Top Trainer, Competitor & Clinician
Warren Backhouse, is the leading reining money earner in Australia with many impressive achievements under his belt, including wins and placings in National Futurities and Open Derbies. In addition to his many successes in this country, Warren represented Australia in reining at the World Equestrian Games in 2010, finishing 13th overall. A fantastic achievement for someone not based in the US - the undisputed home of reining.
At the recent Equitana Open Reining Championships, Warren claimed his 6th title as Open Champion. Warren's run was outstanding and demonstrated to the huge crowd, many of whom had never seen reining, just how amazingly educated and broke the reining horse can be. With more than one horse in the competition, he also impressed by showing his admiration for these horses on the completion of each run, dismounting in the arena and rewarding them with praise and pats. These superstar reining horses and indeed all the horses Warren trains and competes, seem to love him and want to give 100%.
In addition to competing, Warren conducts regular reining and horsemanship clinics around Australia. Anyone who has been privileged enough to attend one of these clinics will agree that he shows deep dedication to sharing knowledge and helping people and horses become the best they can be, whatever the discipline.
"Warren Backhouse & Lil Nu It All" produce a memorable run marking the highest score in Australian reining history"
