High-profile horse trainer Greg Peters is facing seven counts of sexually touching a person without consent.
An international champion in the sport of horse reining, Peters, 61, who owns Serendipity Reiners at Ourimbah on the state’s Central Coast with his wife Carolyn, has pleaded not guilty to the charges in Wyong Local Court.
He was charged in December last year and was released on police bail on the conditions he live at his home at Palm Grove and not contact the alleged victim, who cannot be identified, or go within 100m of where she works and lives.
Peters is president of Southern Cross Reining Horse Association and runs reining “clinics” to instruct in the ranch-style sport which is billed as keeping alive the “traditions and horsemanship skills of the Old West”.
It is a fast-moving sport carried out at a gallop in a show arena.
Peters’ case on Wednesday was adjourned to April 20 at Wyong for a mention.
There is no suggestion his wife is involved in any alleged misconduct.
