Dave has worked with Dr Deb Bennett, a world renowned paleontologist from California, to understand the total anatomy of the horse and how a bit fits and works to assist us to achieve true collection (not just headset) and willing contact with our horses.

Dave has worked throughout Canada and the US helping riders and horses at any level of skill and a wide variety of disciplines.

Dave has also studied Osteopathy - learning how small changes can affect the well-being of the entire horse.These combined learnings allow him to see and work with the whole horse,not just the mechanics of bits or riding.
