Paul Gaff is an International Grand Prix show jumper, UKCC Level 3 and BHS-accredited coach, based at PG Sport Horses near Devizes, Wiltshire. With a background in international eventing, show jumping, coaching and sport horse production, Paul has built a strong reputation for producing talented competition horses and helping riders develop confidence, skill and horsemanship.

​

From young horse development and competition preparation to show jumping coaching and training livery, Paul works with horses and riders at all levels, combining professional experience with a calm, structured and supportive approach.

​

Having always had a keen interest in horses, and originally in eventing, Paul began working for international event rider Nick Gauntlett at the age of 17. He spent four years based with Nick, progressing up to 3 level, before spending two years at Talland School of Equitation with Pammy Hutton, working in the in-house event rider position.

​

At 23, Paul set up his first yard and continued to be based in and around the Cotswolds for eight years. During this time, he produced many event horses from four-year-olds through to Advanced level and established a large coaching clientele, ranging from young riders to those competing at international level.

​

In 2018, Paul made the move from international eventing to pure show jumping. Since then, he has gone on to achieve great success in the world of show jumping, producing top-level young horses for both national and international classes. His achievements include invitations to jump at 5 level at The London International Horse Show and the RDS Dublin Horse Show.

​

Now focusing on the production of world-class show jumpers, Paul has also developed his own breeding programme. His first home-bred horse, Jonnetja Gold by Jonagold x Zeizo, was born in spring 2020. In spring 2022, the breeding programme welcomed one colt and two fillies, including progeny by Jonagold and Faltic HB.
