Dayna Pomare

← All Crew

I’m a stunt coordinator and horse master with over 30 years’ experience in film and television, based in New Zealand and working internationally. I began my career as a stunt double and horse riding double for Lucy Lawless on Xena: Warrior Princess before going on to become a lead stunt double for Charlize Theron, Tilda Swinton, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lynda Carter and many others across two decades of major international productions. I’m a multi-award winner (SAG Award, Artemis Award, Taurus Award nominee), and I own New Zealand Stunt School where I train the next generation of action extras and stunt performers. I specialise in action coordination, mounted stunts, fire burns, high falls, water stunt and complex physical performance at any production scale, and I co-run NZ Action Talent Agency alongside my stunt and horse master work.

My credits span major international film and television, including Mad Max: Fury Road, Wonder Woman 1984, Avatar: The Way of Water, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Snow White and the Huntsman, King Kong, The Meg, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Horse Riding Trainer). I worked the last 20 years as stunt coordinator and most recently, I was Horse Master on Netflix's East of Eden, the largest horse master production in NZ to date, coordinating over 60 horses, wranglers, stunt riders on set across multiple New Zealand locations.
