Dave's extensive knowledge of the art of dressage, science of biomechanics and deep empathy with both the human and horse psyches combine in a renowned ability to communicate with and improve every horse and rider that enters his ring.
"[Dave] really took me to another level ... my seat and riding has improved a lot! My horses got a lot more flow and swing to their movement and also became much more uphill! I also use Dave’s advice and techniques for my own students to help them understand how to correctly ride from the seat ... My stable hopes to continue cooperation with Dave in the future so even more riders can benefit from his help! Absolutely recommended!"
"His in-depth study of the biomechanics of the rider gives him knowledge to help the rider to solve problems regarding their seat and influence of their aids ... I use many of the same tools with my own students with great success ... It seems like he has tools for every individual problem and situation. There is always a great development, smiling riders and satisfied horses after each lesson."

What to Expect
From Training through Grand Prix, Dave focuses on good basics while always taking an individual approach for each horse-rider team. Dave strictly adheres to the principles of the German classical training scale and short-cuts are not taken for the sake of short-lived success. On an as needed basis, Dave will briefly mount any of the large variety of horses taking part in a clinic. Dave has the gift to impart knowledge to riders of all levels, but is especially talented at obtaining measurable improvement in show horses/riders.
