Rider Profile

Name:
Max Warburton

Early Equestrian Experiences

I grew up doing a lot of Pony Club – I was a member of Old Berks and, when I left school, I went to work for Tina and Graham Fletcher.

Key moments

I grew up quite close to Blenheim, so my first time competing there was really special. It was a big moment for me. I also recently won my first CCI4*-S at Aston-Le-Walls, riding Deerpairc Revelry.

Home Life

I rent a yard in Warwickshire with 20 horses and we live on-site – it's a great location and has really easy access to all the competition venues.

Equestrian Ambitions

I obviously want to get on senior teams, compete at the top level and be successful at CCI5*s. I also want to run a successful business alongside this.

Being on the World class programme

It's great to have all the tools for every aspect of performance. Obviously, it's good to have all the training, but it's also the other side of performance – for example, psychology and nutrition – that you wouldn’t normally be able to access.
