By professional Australian Stunt/Trick Rider Jessica Smith. Upon her move to New Zealand in 2020, Jessica saw the potential for growth in unique equestrian disciplines in the country and decided to share her passion by establishing Shooting Star Stunt Riding (SSSR) in Christchurch.
SSSR is not your typical horse-riding academy or training facility. The academy is built on four core values: Safety, Horsemanship, Showmanship, and Professionalism. With these values at its foundation, Shooting Star Stunt Riding offers a fun and challenging experience for riders of all levels. Whether you're a beginner looking to try something new in the saddle or a seasoned performer wanting to upskill, SSSR has something for everyone.
As the first of its kind in New Zealand, SSSR aims to advocate and promote these unique and rare equestrian disciplines to the wider community. The academy wants to draw attention, awareness, and exposure to the sport while maintaining a professional, knowledgeable, and safe learning environment. At SSSR, students have access to qualified coaches, trainers, athletes, and performers, making it a primary access point for anyone interested in these equestrian disciplines.
SSSR takes pride in being a key representative for these equestrian disciplines in New Zealand. Founded with the guidance of some of the world's best stunt riders, the academy offers professional coaching and mentorship not only in New Zealand but also globally. Students and stakeholders have access to entertainment opportunities, connexions, and industry pathways within the action and entertainment industry.
In addition to training programmes, Shooting Star Stunt Riding also offers live entertainment services. Their internationally trained professional trick and stunt riders, along with their talented horses, are available for shows, events, conventions, expos, and on-camera projects. If you're looking for some extreme equine action, SSSR has got you covered.
Located in Christchurch, New Zealand, Shooting Star Stunt Riding operates from Waikuku Beach in North Canterbury.
