Over 25 years ago when I first started my business, I always felt like I danced with my horses, Dance On!!! however I thought that was a bit cliché so I abbreviated the Dancing On to Danson and that then became Danson Dressage, a name now well recognised throughout the Australian Equestrian community.
I’ve produced multiple horses to FEI level dressage and produced numerous Grand Prix horses with horses of all different characters and types. The systematic training system that I work with has proven time and time again to be successful and a proven and consistent producer of quality competitive dressage horses of all different breeds.
I have trained and produced the CURRENT National Australian Elementary dressage Champion Bluefileds Honduras and the CURRENT National Australian Reserve Novice champion with Fred Perry FRED PERRY.
I’ve recently produced yet another horse to the Grand Prix with the 8-year-old stallion Spanish Import Istan DE Azuel and he continually develops in strength and capability at this level.
In the pipelines also, and that will make his first start in Grand Prix at 8 years old is the Desperados gelding Wunderbar Black 59 who is showing enormous capability and talent for this level.
Time and time again our results show the training system and development of the horses under this system works which has resulted in Danson Dressage developing into a multi-million-dollar business.
Top contenders that I have trained have often been sold to finance the ongoing development of Danson Dressage, this is a double knifed sword, the sacrifice that has been made not to follow the career personally with these horses has resulted in extremely successful partnerships with other riders and provided me with the satisfaction that the training and mentorship programme that went into producing these horses was of the highest standard.
I’ll continue to develop the next young dressage Grand Prix future stars daily at our training facility that I’m currently developing into a major competition venue for the SA equestrian community.
I also teach a huge and enthusiastic talented group of young and adult riders because I’m keen to share my knowledge and expertise so these riders can also take it to the next.
The story continues and I’d love you to join me...
