David Bierly assistant trainer assists in coaching & specializes in ground & body work for the equines. My expertise lies within dressage, stadium jumping, and cross country; however, I have a strong understanding of the basics of riding and the mechanics of our equine partners. Together we can achieve your goals in any discipline. It is my belief that the principles of dressage and show jumping c
an help you and your horse progress through many disciplines. I started riding when I was 8 years old, and was instantly hooked on these incredible animals. I wholeheartedly believe that every horse has something to give and I can proudly say that I am a true problem solver and my specialty lies in acclimating “diamond in the rough” horses and off track thoroughbreds to new careers. I know that many of these horses are misunderstood and get passed by, but I knew early on that I would make a lifetime commitment to them. I have been competitively showing for over 10 years, and have been fortunate to have successfully competed many different horses in various classes and competition levels, up and down the east coast. Every time I have ridden or attended any events or clinics, I managed to learn something new. I believe my education as a rider and instructor is a lifelong journey, so that everything I teach is relevant and most helpful to you and your education as a rider and competitor. I would like to start sharing my continuing experiences with you. If you are looking for your next or first horse take me along on your search so I can help you find that perfect match, or have me along at a show to help make sure you and your partners stars shine and your show nerves do not get the better of you. If you would like to grow you skills, and make you and your horse an unstoppable team, I am ready to help you achieve these goals.
