Deon's day generally starts around 6.30am when the horses get fed, then he starts riding around 7am, riding through all the horses until about 1pm, when he starts coaching. He coaches both flat work and jumping from his base in Darling Downs and occasionally runs XC clinics. Deon generally finishes teaching between 5.30-8.30 depending on the evening. THe horses are brought in and fed around 5pm and he checks on them in the evening before bed. Then he gets up and does it all over again!
