As a child growing up on a 1,200 acre farm in New South Wales, Australia, Warwick Schiller was introduced to the
world of horses by his father, Ray. A bull rider, Ray Schiller competed in Australian rodeos for 18 years,
including the National Finals Rodeo, where he won the bull riding average in 1968. After retiring from competition,
Ray continued to be active in the rodeo scene as a judge, where he became familiar with the Quarter Horse – a
breed that had been imported from the United States and was hugely popular with the timed event contestants.
Warwick began riding and showing horses in 1976, and was drawn towards the Quarter Horse and the Western
style of riding. He showed as a youth winning a number of Australian Titles, and then began a successful
banking career. However, more and more his thoughts were drifting towards his lifelong dream of showing and
riding horses in the United States. With a decision that would forever change his life, Warwick headed to America
for a year-long furlough. While in the US, Warwick worked for AQHA World Champion Don Murphy and flourished
under his mentor’s exceptional training. When his year with Murphy came to an end, Warwick returned to
Australia with the intention of returning to his old life. Yet, he was unable to stop thinking about his remarkable
experience in the US working alongside Murphy and the horses he had loved his entire life. The temptation of
pursuing horse training as a profession – and of continuing a blossoming romance he had begun with an
American woman named Robyn – proved to be too much for him to resist. In 1992, Warwick returned to America
and spent two more years working with Murphy before starting his own training business and marrying Robyn,
with whom he has a ten year old son named Tyler. As a professional horse trainer for more than 16 years,
Warwick has enjoyed a very successful career. Warwick has trained and shown horses and coached riders to
National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) World Champion and Reserve World Champion titles, as well as
Champion and Reserve Champion wins at all of the major reining shows across the United States. These
prestigious shows include the NRHA Futurity show, NRHA Derby show, National Reining Breeders Classic
(NRBC), All American Quarter Horse Congress, Firecracker Classic, Texas Classic, West Coast Spectacular,
Reining by the Bay, Hollywood Charity Reining and the California Reining Challenge. Warwick is an NRHA
Continental Judge.
Robyn
Born and raised in California, Robyn rode horses with her mom before she could walk on her own. She began
her show career at the tender age of 5 in the walk/jog competition. Robyn met Warwick while showing at AQHA
shows in 1991. The two were married 3 years later. Robyn began reining in 1996, a year before son Tyler was
born. She won the NRHA Rookie of the Year title in 2001. In 2002, she became one of Warwick's assistant
trainers and in 2003 won the NRHA Limited Open World Championship and the Intermediate Open Reserve World
Championship. Robyn has competed at all major NRHA events in the US including the USET Festival of
Champions. She received her NRHA judge's card in 2006. For most of their married life, Robyn has worked in
the Human Resources field. Robyn is now working with Warwick in the horse industry.
Tyler
Tyler attended his first horse show when he was 3 weeks old! He is a typical horse show kid, able to hold his
own with adults and converse with anyone. He has fit into Australian life well and looks forward to someday
riding Smart Like Smart in the show pen.
