Double Dutch was imported from Germany and trained here in California, by Horizons East.  Double Dutch was successfully shown by Hap Hanson, then sold back to Europe to then find a place competing at the Olympic level with British Rider, Dave McPherson.  Horizons East has also imported, trained and sold many of the West Coast top hunters in the past decade to West Coast riders John French, Jack Hammon and Patrick Spanton to name just a few.  Our reputation reflects the quality of successful junior and amateur horses we have produced!

The Winter Session classes will be held on March 10 and March 24, 2012.  The Spring Session classes TBD.  All classes will be held from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM.

Equine Theory Sessions are set up to build confidence when working with horses and to educate the rider/handler on safety. Our goal is to have you complete these courses and be well rounded in the proper care and handling of the horse or pony. The majority of work will be on the ground, not mounted. We will cater to different levels by offering easier exercises or more challenging exercises for the advanced rider.

* All students wanting to be an apprentice or working student MUST take one of these courses.
