Impulsion International Dressage Trust

Bill Noble

NRM is a proud sponsor of the Impulsion International Dressage Trust, which aims to provide financial support to New Zealand's top dressage riders to assist them to achieve the standard needed to represent New Zealand in international competition. Bill Noble is our representative of this trust and we are delighted to be able to work with both Bill and the Trust.
Originally based in England, Bill has an extensive and greatly successful background with horses.
Bill has trained over 14 horses to Grand Prix level and won the Horse of the Year for 4 consecutive years (2004-07).

Bill & his ride Airthrey Highlander have recently been selected for the Grandprix Development Squad & are competing in Olympic Qualifiers this year which will be Manfield in August, ( possibly Sydney Nationals in Oct), Nationals in NZ & HoY. This is a huge accomplishment in itself as the horse is only rising 10yrs and has only done 1 season of dressage, (which is miraculous especially with the results below).

Recent Results to date with Airthrey Highlander are:

Grand prix Champion Waikato Dressage Champs. Dec 2010

2011 4th National Dressage Champs Freestyle.
2011 4th HOY Grandprix Title class.
2011 4th HOY Grandprix Freestyle.
