Peter AND Nathalie Petschenig - hunter, Jumper and Equitation Training to a higher Caliber

Peter is a World Cup rider with numerous Grand Prix wins throughout Europe, South America and the United States. Peter has ridden and trained for an impressive list of owners/sponsors worldwide including Sportpferde Puchner, Haras Siracusa Osorno and Sportheste, Inc.

In addition to a successful youth, college and adult show career of her own,  Nathalie is also the granddaughter of  USEF Hall of Fame Inductee, Morton “Cappy” Smith. Her family has built a legacy in the riding community through competitions, running various facilities and training others to ride. 

Originally from Austria in the Salzburg region, Peter Petschenig arrived in the United States in 2012, in​tent on establishing a training center that combined the classical equestrian heritage of Europe, with the competitive spirit of the United States.  

In short time Peter Petschenig established a thriving barn and training business in two locations:

• Their former residence, a California based facility at Cloud 9 Farms in Murrieta, California overlooking the beautiful Santa Rosa Mountains.


• A Texas facility, now their main residence, located in the thriving equestrian community of Pilot Point, just outside the Dallas/Fort Worth area. 

​In early 2017 Peter partnered with Nathalie Cooper, now Nathalie Petschenig.  Nathalie, originally from the East Coast, is a successful equitation and hunter/jumper coach, trainer and competitor, with numerous wins to her credit. Following a successful college career as Captain of Mount Holyoke's Equestrian Team, Nathalie established Acorn Farms; a busy and competitive facility in Southern California.

​Petschenig Showjumping is a state-of-the-art, world class hunter/jumper and equitation facility nestled among 24 manicured acres.  The property is family-friendly, well organized, clean and includes an expansive covered arena, an enormous outdoor arena, along with all the other amenities you would expect from an equestrian facility of this caliber.  Horses and riders in training at Petschenig Showjumping compete on the West Coast and Southwest Circuits, among select others (see our show schedule).

​Together Peter and Nathalie Petschenig are excited to share their experience and knowledge with serious riders of all ages and skill levels.  If you're looking for hunter/jumper training or equitation lessons in a family-friendly environment, from supportive and educated professionals give Peter and Nathalie a call.
