RiverDance is a gorgeous Friesian Sporthorse Gelding that came to us at 6 years old. River did not even lead. Dave worked with RiverDance on an accelerated training program at our request in order to begin riding River this summer on trails and to take camping.
Dave was phenomenal in taking a horse that was 6 years old and bringing him to a safe level of trail riding within 30 days. River is very sensitive, intelligent and an extremely quick learner which resulted in a wonderful trail horse that we are now able to finish at our leisure.

Lord Bourassa is a gorgeous 6 year old Registered Friesian Stallion that came to us not broke to ride. Dave was able to successfully break Bourassa to ride within 30 days
Ayanna was a gorgeous Registered Paint Mare that we had purchased to breed to our Friesian Stallion. It is our belief that all horses should be broke to ride and have a versatile life aside from breeding.
Ayanna was very receptive to training with Dave due to his incredibly way with horses and gentle hand. She turned into a beautiful riding horse in no time at all
Lord Ceaser is our 6 year old Registered Friesian Gelding. He came to us as a stallion and we had Dave break Ceaser to ride although he had came to us already broke to drive. Ceaser was fantastic with Dave and successfully broke to ride and drive.
We have since gelded Ceaser since he a a unique size and a perfect trail gelding for any level of rider. Ceaser has been sold to his new owner in New York.
