A phrase we hear often from David, whether he’s working with a new horse, or he has been working with a horse for years.

“We assist when they might need assistance or help in certain ways. If you are smart enough to listen they will tell you what they need regarding diet, care, training,” added David.

Novice riders aren’t always able to interpret what the horse is trying to say, so it’s always good to get the input of an experienced trainer, vet or rider to help bridge that gap.

One of the sayings David’s students hear quite often. Learning to ride or drive well takes a lot of time and patience. And it doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the small steps, the small wins, that build upon each other to create victories. At DBS, we celebrate the small wins, because they are the building blocks for the big wins.

One of David’s favorite sayings that his father passed down to him. Caution and good judgment should always dictate your decisions when it comes to handling and caring for horses, for both the safety and well-being of the rider and the horse.

02/18/2024

David emphasizes the correct riding position and posture when riding. Not only does it create a pretty picture in the show ring, but it’s also the safest riding position.

When the horse moves unexpectedly (and they all will), if you are centered and balanced, you have the best opportunity to stay in the saddle. As an example, If you are leaning forward, and the horse suddenly stops, you are more likely to fall over the neck.
