Cameron Hanley

He took up riding as a young boy at his parents' riding school in Claremorris, Ireland. After working for his father until age 18, he left his hometown of Claremorris, Ireland, for Switzerland where he spent nine years employed by the Etter Stables. He then spent two years in England, before moving to Frankfurt, Germany, around 2003 because he believed Germany offered the best quality training in the world. In 2005 he was supported by Turkish businesswoman and rider Sevil Sabanci and he regularly traveled to Istanbul, Turkey, to help coach and develop riders there.
