Welcome to Philip Hager Equestrian,

 

Born in Munich in 1990 and raised in Vouliagmeni, an idyllic coastal town south of Athens, Greece, I discovered the fascinating bond between horse and rider from an early age. When we were young, my sister and I were allowed to ride school-horses occasionally, and at the age of eleven I began taking regular riding lessons at the local riding club. With time, I went on to achieve international success as a showjumping athlete, starting with the youth squads for children and later progressing to the juniors and young riders.

​

My career as a showjumping athlete was interrupted in 2013 due to personal obligations at the time. Up until that point, I had achieved placings at national level in Germany up to S*** and I participated at international level up to FEI 1.60.

​

During this time, I had the privilege to learn from various renowned trainers in Europe. From 2005 until 2008, I underwent several months of training with Ludger Beerbaum at his showjumping yard in Riesenbeck, Germany. Moreover, I trained at FWK Sporthorses in the Netherlands, and with Matteo Giunti in Italy.

From 2009 to 2012, I worked as a show rider, among others for Hengststation Bachl in Bavaria and later for the trading stable of Peter Weinberg (current coach of the Belgian olympic team) in Herzogenrath near Aachen.

​

Presently, I have dedicate my passion for equestrian sports to training ambitious showjumping athletes and scouting for talented showjumping horses.

Thank you for visiting,

Philip Hager
