With more than 40 years experience in the equine industry. George’s riding career began at the age of 5 and his ability was evident from early on. He was part of the first official Childrens’s team representing what was then known as the Transvaal and received his national colours in doing so. He was granted his junior license early at the age of 12 – usually only granted at the age of 14 – making him only the second person, other than Gonda Betrix, to achieve this feat. 

George’s yard is conveniently located within walking distance from Kyalami Equestrian Park and is equipped with fantastic facilities including jumping and dressage arenas with excellent surfaces as well as an equine walker, individual paddocks and experienced staff, some of whom have been with George for over 20 years. The 35 stables are used for both his own competitive horses, young horses being produced and livery clients who range from beginner level to open, top level riders who receive coaching from George. They pride themselves on the social aspect of the yard  and it’s not unusual to see a contingent of Alchemy riders out in support of one another at shows.
