Gold Performance Program
with Brett Parbery & International Team
The High Performance Dressage Club Open to All Passionate Riders
Experience the elite high performance environment and information usually reserved for national squads and top professionals.
Imagine being part of a program where Brett Parbery opens his 'little black book' and brings you direct access to the world's top riders, Olympic medallists, sports psychologists, veterinarians, farriers, judges, and more?
This is the Gold Performance Program–a unique opportunity to surround yourself with the very best in the sport, and to receive the kind of mentorship, feedback, and inspiration that most riders only dream of.
Not Just for Elites–For Every Rider with a Gold Medal Attitude
Gold is for you if you crave knowledge, thrive on intelligent discussion, and want to see both yourself and your horse flourish–regardless of ribbons or rankings.
- You become the driver of your own progress. Be empowered to take charge of your own training with clarity and confidence, so you're never left wondering what to do next.
- You join a community that lifts you higher. Goldies are united by a gold medal attitude: insatiable curiosity, mutual support, and a love of seeing each other succeed. You'll never feel isolated or judged here.
- You're mentored, and not just taught. Get direct, personal guidance from trainers Brett, Emma, and a handpicked team of the sport's best minds. Their mission is to help you to unlock your potential, find your unique path, and enjoy every step of the journey.
- You learn to think–and ride–like a champion. It's not about chasing medals; it's about developing the mindset, focus, and resilience that set great riders apart. You'll learn how to overcome setbacks, quiet self-doubt, and turn challenges intro breakthroughs.
- You discover what true progress feels like. Whether your goals are in the arena or simply in the relationship with your horse, the Gold Program gives you the tools, strategies, and encouragement to achieve real lasting growth.
I often say that true high performance in dressage isn’t about fancy horses, big trucks, or famous coaches—it’s about attitude, relentless learning, and the people you surround yourself with.That’s exactly why I created the Gold Performance Program.
After years competing on the world stage and working alongside the very best—Olympic medallists, international judges, sports psychologists, and leading horse professionals—I realised that the real game-changer is access. Access to the right knowledge, the right mentors, and a community that lifts you higher.
Gold is the kind of high performance environment that’s usually reserved for elite squads, but I believe every passionate rider deserves this level of support. In this program, I open my “little black book” and bring you the insights, strategies, and honest feedback that have shaped my own career and the careers of top riders around the globe.
Whether you’re chasing your first blue ribbon or your next championship, you’ll find yourself surrounded by riders who share your drive, your curiosity, and your gold medal attitude. You’ll get direct, personal guidance from me and my team—so you can ride with more clarity, confidence, and joy, every single day.
If you’re ready to train smarter, connect with your horse on a new level, and be part of a truly supportive community, you’re in the right place. Welcome to Gold.

From first test to National Champion!
"As a rider without a coach, this Program has given me confidence in my training strategy and changed the way I ride to be more effective and more enjoyable.
Prior to joining the Goldies I only competed in dressage occasionally. In in first year, my young mare went from her first start to Australian AOR Preliminary Champion and winner of the Dressage NSW Annual Award for Preliminary. We're now competing Prix St George!"
Libby Guest
From Elementary to Prix St George!
"I began this program in Elementary, l am now riding Prix St George and working towards Inter 1. The program has helped me set solid goals, be accountable for my training, and has given me the ability to analyse both successes and speed bumps so I can continue moving in the right direction. The mindset training and the support within the group and trainers has been especially valuable! The road to success is often bumpy but the group provides ways to assist riders to navigate their way through, no matter what the level."
Melissa Boekel
From Preliminary to Medium!
"The program has given me a clear system to structure my daily rides and assist me to stay calm at comps. I don’t have a regular coach and being busy and regional I don’t travel for clinics. I have learnt to be my own coach which is useful in the warm up as I can stay focused. My mare and I have gone from Preliminary to competing Medium and training Advanced in the time I have been in the program. The community is amazing and we all share our highs and struggles."

"First class!"
I’ve gone from Medium to Small Tour, training towards Medium Tour with one horse and from Novice to training Medium with the other. The program has helped me to become a more thinking and focused rider. I love the intellectual content and the down to earth delivery. Brett, Nat and all the team are absolute professionals, the Goldies are a supportive and knowledgeable group, and the program is first class!
KAREN
"Wonderfully supportive!"
Since joining this wonderfully supportive program, Elvis and I have achieved Elementary scores of 72%+, progressed to competing Medium at State level and for 2023 will be training towards Advanced and PSG...this unique program truly makes it achievable!
SHAULEEN
"Blows my mind!"
Being a Goldie I have gone from Elementary to Medium. I had never trained a flying change and to achieve this was such an achievement for me. And the Goldie community was right there with me, supporting and encouraging me!! The depth of learning I have gained from this awesome program blows my mind and wish everyone would join it.
LINDA
"First year at FEI!"
I was stuck feeling like an 'ok' Novice rider but felt like such a try-hard everywhere else. With access to experts here and across the world it is a game-changing program. From mindset coaches, vets, equine nutritionalists, riders competing at the highest levels, and the support and knowledge of fellow Goldies, I now feel confident with the goals I am setting myself. Love this program!

More reviews from the Goldies!
I finally understand what the core basics are that make up movements so now I have the tools to break higher level movements down and work out where the holes are that were stopping us from moving forward. This is also helping me train my next up and coming horse a lot quicker now that I have this information in my tool belt. This program has changed my attitude to training and my attitude to life.
Fiona
After joining Goldies, I was brave enough to qualify, enter and attend the Australian Dressage Championships. Finished top 10 and so glad to have achieved a long held goal. Thanks to Goldies program.
Andrea
My journey in Dressage started over 30 years ago, never going beyond Prelim/Novice. Since becoming a student of this program I have now successfully competed up to Elementary and about to make the jump up to Medium. With the knowledge I have gained through the program and support from Brett and team I also placed top 3 in Dressage QLD AAOR End of year Awards. I never thought the results I've been receiving would ever be possible and it's all thanks to this fantastic program.
Helen
Being a Goldie has confirmed for me that the goal is Grand Prix and it’s ok to have that as a goal even as a newbie that lacks confidence at the higher levels, because it is all about the enjoyment of the journey and the training system to get there. I no longer feel stuck in a certain level and the Goldies program has given me the confidence to be the master of my own journey and to play with training the higher levels
