Phillip Dutton

Phillip was born in 1963 in Nyngan, New South Wales, Australia. Horses were a part of life on his family’s sheep and wheat farm, and most of Phillip’s time off the farm was spent at pony club rallies and horse trials. He continued to pursue his passion for riding while studying in Sydney at Newington College and later at Agricultural College.

In 1991, Phillip moved to the United States to train in a more internationally competitive environment, and to prepare for the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, at which he was a member of Australia’s Gold Medal Three-day Eventing Team. Since his move to the U.S., Phillip has represented Australia in three Olympics and four World Championships. In 2006, Phillip became an American citizen and changed his competitive nationality so that he would be eligible to represent his adoptive home, the United States. Phillip was very honoured to do so at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janiero in July, 2007 where he was a member of the Gold Medal winning team and Individual Silver medallist. Phillip made his debut on the United Sates Olympic Three Day Team at the Bejiing Olympics in Hong Kong in 2008 where the team placed 7th.

He is very active on the U.S. eventing circuit, winning the USEA Leading Rider of the Year title in 1998, and 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 , 2005, 2006 2007 and 2008. In 2005 he was also the number one FEI World Event Rider.
