Paul moved from Australia to the UK in 1999. He is well-known in the equestrian community for being hard-working and totally dedicated to his goals. Notwithstanding his competitive achievements, Paul is also a highly sought-after teacher and trainer to riders of all levels throughout the world. He runs the Tapner Eventing Team with his wife Georgina from their base at
Wickstead Farm Equestrian Centre in Highworth, Wiltshire. Paul and Georgina have two children – a son Joshua and daughter Madison. Paul uses Activo-Med as part of his warm up and competition routine, and has found it to assist in relaxing his horses:

“Kilronan is a very highly strung, sensitive horse and I certainly find that the Activo-Med massage therapy rug we have on him helps him to relax. It’s really important that he’s relaxed, ready for each phase. If he gets a little too highly strung it makes him very difficult to ride and certainly affects our performance. Using the rug is certainly a big part of our warm up routine for this horse, at every competition.”
