In the rarefied atmosphere of Japan's equestrian competitive world, Gool Wadia is a highly respected name. She is the "eye and mouth" on the ground, the person behind, specifically, some of Japan's best dressage riders as they endeavor to improve their riding, their horses and raise their marks in competition.
Recently, Wadia was also in the media spotlight, due to her close work with Hiroshi Hoketsu, Japan's oldest Olympic athlete ever. He competed in dressage at the Beijing Olympics last year at the age of 67.
When she is not teaching or working horses at Avalon Hillside Farm in Kanagawa Prefecture, Wadia is traveling throughout Japan to teach privately and at clinics on both a regular and seasonal basis. She also interprets at various equestrian events in and out of the country.
