Scott has been involved with horses since the age of four. He competed on both the provincial and national circuits in the hunters and the jumpers as a junior. He spent six years in Germany working as an apprentice for the Hannoverian Riding and DrivingSchool (Hannoversche Reit-und-Fahrschule). During his time in Germany, he gained valuable experience training young horses, re-training problem horses, teaching in the riding school as well as competing up to the Intermediate Level in both the jumper and dressage rings. Upon completion of his apprenticeship, Scott obtained his Professional Trainer of Young Horses and Riders Qualifications (Pferdewirt).
Scott further expanded his equine skills upon return to Canada. He worked as general manager of two prominent show facilities in Collingwood, Ontario. Scott coached national level riders in the dressage, hunter and jumper disciplines, competed sales horses, managed breeding operations of warmbloods and prepared and showed young horses at Canadian Hannoverian Inspections and Canadian Warmblood Inspections. Additionally, Scott worked as a free-lance trainer, traveling to numerous farms training and re-training many horses and riders. His unique qualifications and experiences combined with his contagious enthusiasm are essential to the success of Gladstone Farm.
Scott was the South East Trillium Zone Vice-President and show manager for a number of years. He worked with the other members of the Executive Committee to plan, organize and manage the Zone’s Equine Canada recognized shows.
