Ira – Founder
Ira started riding at 7 years old and found herself being thrown in the sand twice a day, but undeterred, she kept getting back on and continued improving. She later became a qualified riding instructor in her homeland of Finland. The founder of Niran, she is proud to introduce her team of highly qualified coaches.
Phutthiphat Sethchaivuth, (Num) – Stable Manager
From a very young age, he found himself falling in love with horses. At just five years old, his father took him on a 5 AM ride, where he would often fall asleep on the horse’s back. Num’s family once owned one of the largest riding clubs in Bangkok, stabling more than 80 horses. It was there that he learned about horses through real-life experiences. His extensive background encompasses various roles, including rider, FEI steward, Level 2 FEI coach, FEI course designer, Level 2 show jumping judge, 3* FEI endurance technical delegate and judge, and O.C. for both house and international competitions (CSI and CEI). He has also worked with the Thailand Equestrian Federation, gaining insights from multiple perspectives in the equestrian world.
Liene – Coach
From a young age, Liene developed a deep connection with horses in her homeland of Latvia. Her passion for riding was ignited at the age of seven when she received her first riding lesson as a gift on her first day of school. This experience marked the beginning of her lifelong commitment to the equestrian world. Liene’s professional journey has taken her across Europe, including a notable period in Switzerland, where she had the privilege of training, competing, and learning alongside top-level riders. Back home, she owned her own horse and competed in both national and international show jumping competitions, reaching heights of up to 130 cm. Additionally, she has competed in dressage and has worked extensively with client horses of various temperaments and training levels.
