All Clear

All Clear, presented by Australian Jumping, welcomes rider, coach and mentor Robert Stewart to discuss a lifelong career across Eventing, Dressage and Jumping. Rob shares how he started riding as a child, progressed through Pony Club in Queensland, moved to Sydney, and became George Sanna’s working pupil, shifting from Eventing to Jumping. Rob explains the lessons he learned in a professional yard, how his coaching philosophy evolved (including adapting to different learning styles) and the influence of George Morris clinics on Australian riding standards. Rob reflects on key horses that shaped his career, what defines elite Jumping horses and riders today, rising costs and barriers in the modern sport, and the challenges Australians face transitioning to international competition. He also describes a recent life-threatening accident, his recovery, and what the future now holds.
