During our video shoot at Geoffrey Hesslink’s stunning facility in Wellington, Florida, we got the opportunity to sit down with him for a one-on-one Q&A. The hunter/jumper trainer talks about his horses’ fitness and training routines, his teaching philosophy and how he strives to instill confidence in both his students and horses. Geoffrey also tells us about the special horses throughout his life and how each contributed to his education and success.
Geoffrey owns and operates Hesslink Williams LLC in Wellington, Florida, with his partner Brendan Williams. He is one of the leading hunter riders in the country and is a top trainer for juniors and amateurs in hunters, jumpers and equitation. Some of his most recent accolades include being named 2023 Pennsylvania National Horse Show Leading Hunter Rider, winning the 2023 $100,000 WCHR Central Hunter Spectacular at Traverse City Spring and placing second at the 2023 USHJA International Hunter Derby Championship, both aboard Drumroll. And in 2022, he piloted Mon Tresor to the win in the prestigious $100,000 USHJA/WCHR Peter Wetherill Palm Beach Hunter Spectacular.
