Background

About Grant Field

Grant Field has operated Deerfield Farm since 1986. He has an extensive career in both the Hunter and Jumper rings both as a coach and as a rider. Before opening Deerfield, Grant trained as a young rider with John Weir, Robert Meilsoe, Mac Cone, Ken Denouden, Hans Renz, Andrew Dalnoki and Ian Millar. During these years as a junior, Grant had a successful show career, provincially, nationally, and internationally in the Hunter ring through to the Junior Hunters and in the Jumper ring through to the Grand Prix level. It was also during this time that Grant was selected to the Canadian Young Riders Showjumping Team for two consecutive years. Since opening Deerfield Farm, he has trained horses and coached riders from beginner through to the Grand Prix level. He has qualified his own and his students' hunters and jumpers for the Royal Winter Fair. He is a certified Equestrian Canada High Performance coach. His focus as a coach is to help riders create an individual program for their horse and themselves that can be successful at the level appropriate to that horse/ rider combination, and hopefully include a bit of fun in the process. In 2019 Deerfield Farm relocated from Vandorf, Ontario to it's present location in South East Ottawa, Ontario near Russell.
