Tough and resilient, yet with a gentleness of character that horses are drawn to, David Finch is the quintessential horseman.
As a rider David has earned himself a reputation as a classy competitor with a penchant for getting a tune out of even the most difficult of horses.

From humble beginnings mustering in his father’s old stock saddle, David developed a passion for show jumping that has seen him compete in the international arenas of Japan, Germany and the United States. Here at home he has produced a string of top level horses including world cup mounts, ‘Campmaster' and ’Boera’.

David is qualified as an NCAS Level II show jumping specialist and travels extensively throughout Australia both teaching and course building. In 2007 he was awarded the EFA national coach of the year.

In recent years David has turned is attention to developing a world class breeding program to strengthen the gene pool and performance ability of the Australian warmblood. He currently has an impressive stable of stallions at stud and a truly exciting selection of youngstock available. A strong international network of quality breeders and competitors enables David and his clients access to specialised markets, producing unique opportunities in sales and acquisition from frozen semen through to elite competition horses.
