“Riding with Douglas has been one of the most inspiring and enriching things I’ve ever done. He is a gifted instructor and generous with his knowledge, explaining not only what to do, but why to do it. He knows what each of his horses and students need to move to the next level, and he presents it in such a way that advancement is correct, well grounded, and rapid, but never forced. He is an extremely skilled trainer – every horse I have seen him work with has blossomed, improving in athletic ability, rideability, and value. Douglas’ passion for the harmonious athletic development of the horse is contagious!

He challenges me, gently, to grow and develop as an equestrian, and I feel I have learned a tremendous amount in a relatively short period of time. He is a world class talent, and I count myself privileged and honored to train with him. I would recommend him highly to anyone who wants to see their riding and/or their horses improve. “

” Douglas teaches classical, correct dressage, with an emphasis on developing a subtle, fluid, and comprehensive relationship with the horse. He demystifies the upper level work, while concentrating on building a correct foundation. Since I began riding with Douglas, I have noticed a marked improvement in my seat, and as a result I have been able to school more technically difficult exercises with greater precision and harmony.” – Emily
