Beth Shaw
Beth Shaw studied under Winks Greene — daughter of renowned trainer, breeder and owner Denis Labistour — in the late 1990s. Since then she has built a successful equine practice spanning more than 20 years, working with high-performance equine athletes in most of the top racing yards in South Africa.
Her practice has been involved in multiple Group 1 victories, including six Vodacom Durban July wins, twice winning the Gold Cup and Vodacom Durban July in the same season. Her expertise spans racing, show jumping, dressage, polo, showing, and endurance disciplines.
Beth represented the South African Ladies Polo Team in international competitions in Argentina (2016), Zambia (2007–2008), Nigeria, and Australia (2005).
In 2008, she founded BSET Academy to train the next generation of equine professionals. In 2015 she established the ETT Association of Accredited Practitioners (ETT-AAP), and in 2020 launched SUMCHI Ltd — an evolutionary technique combining mutual grooming, massage, acupressure, and myofascial release.
“Passion and purpose has helped me improve my performance, my client's performance and my student's performance.”
