Gillian Beale King’s consistent, long-term success in training, showing, and managing throughout her exceptional 20-year career comes from eight combined generations of equestrian upbringing, excellence in international training, focused innovation, and unparalleled passion for her way of life.
At Main Line Sport Horses, Gillian focuses on the individual rider’s needs and goals, along with the elite training, competition, and sale of Show Jumping, Show Hunter and Three Day Event horses.
Gillian combines her American upbringing and philosophies with the skills she acquired while training in Europe, providing her horses and students the best of both worlds, while also allowing her to develop and prepare horses for sale in a timely manner, from new imports to OTTBs.
Her professional pedigree and world class training makes Gillian more than a rider, more than a trainer, but a horseman, too. Riding is in her blood.
Gillian’s accolades include countless top placings at the Devon Horse Show in the Hunter and Jumper rings, eventing through the Two Star level, being the youngest winner of the Radnor Hunt International Three Day and Horse Trials in its entire 134-year history and winning a hunter derby. Coaching highlights include having trained the second highest ranked Pony Jumper in the country in 2013 and having taken multiple students to Championships and Finals.
