Phillip Dutton

Phillip Dutton was born in 1963 in the outback in New South Wales, Australia, in a small town called Nyngan.  Along with his two brothers and sister, he was raised on and helped manage his family's sheep and wheat farm.  Naturally, horses were a way of life on the farm and much of his time off the farm was spent traveling across the country to pony club rallies and horse trials.  Phillip was educated at Newington College and Agricultural College all the while pursuing his passion for riding. 

In 1991, Phillip moved to the United States to train and compete in a more competitive environment and to prepare for the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.  He currently resides in West Grove, Pennsylvania, where he and his wife, Evie, run their equestrian business, Phillip Dutton Eventing, LLC out of True Prospect Farm and Red Oak Farm in Aiken, South Carolina.

"I find the  RevitaVet Therapy System to be very effective and easy to use.  I have used the RevitaVet system on my horses who are muscle sore after hard work and on a variety of cuts and abrasions. For muscles, it helps them loosen up quicker and for  cuts it decreases healing time.  It is an essential piece of equipment in my barn and helps me maintain happy top level competition horses."
