Jonty Evans is an experienced coach with a passion for helping riders of all levels and abilities to get the best from their horses.

Jonty’s competitive riding career has spanned over 20 years, riding nationally and internationally including 5* completions and notably representing Ireland at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, where he finished eighth with his team and ninth individually.

Jonty suffered a serious fall from his horse Cooley Rorkes Drift (Art) in 2018 during the cross country phase at Tattersalls, which left him unconscious and in a coma for six weeks. Astonishingly, Jonty learned to talk and walk again and is now back riding, having competed at his first event since the accident in 2019 and now competing internationally for Ireland in Para Dressage. He has also returned to coaching riders of all abilities, from new / nervous / inexperienced up to International eventing combinations, and everything in-between.

CROWN are delighted to have him on board as one of our trainers!
