Michael Willham Eventing

sessions as well. Feel free to contact Michael to find out more about PEMF or to schedule a session! Michael prides himself on being diligent in furthering his own education, having trained under Olympic Canadian Eventer Bruce Mandeville as well as having trained with Phillip Dutton, William Fox-Pitt, Denny Emerson, Mike Plumb, Doug Payne, Boyd Martin, George Williams, Sally Cousins, and many more top competitors and instructors. Michael has experienced a number of different teaching styles ranging from very theoretical-based to very practical-based, and enjoys being able to draw from both sides to create a well-rounded approach to riding. Michael’s top accomplishments include his back-to-back CNC ½* and CNC 1* National Championships in 2015 and 2016. The CNC ½* and CNC 1* are a throwback to the days of the Classic Long Format Eventing in which horse and rider must compete in 3 additional phases beyond the current 3 phase format of eventing. This requires immense training, preparation, and conditioning to complete these events. Michael and Fernhill Cayenne took home the National Championship in the CNC ½* in 2015 and returned the next year to claim not only the championship title, but also the “Best Conditioned Horse” award in the only CNC1* left in the United States. More recently, Michael took home a 3rd place finish at the VAHT CCI2*-S in May 2019 with Fernhill Fugitive, only being topped by two 5* riders! They were one of only 4 combinations out of 29 to jump double clear in show jumping, one of only 7 to go double clear XC, and one of only 2 to finish on their dressage score!
