What to expect: From Training through Grand Prix, Dave
focuses on good basics but always takes an individual
approach for every horse-rider team. Dave strictly adheres to
the principles of the German classical training scale and
short-cuts are not taken for the sake of short-lived success. On
an as needed basis, Dave will briefly mount any of the large
variety of horses taking part in a clinic. Dave has the gift to
impart knowledge to riders of all levels, but is especially talented
at obtaining measurable improvement in show horses/riders.
A typical three-day clinic would consist of ten 45-minute
sessions or eight 1-hour sessions and there is normally one
2-hour lecture.

"Coming from a family of Chiropractors, I was thoroughly impressed with Mr. Thind's expertise of human
bio-mechanics and training methods. After one lesson, I could already feel my horse’s movement improve
and our communication enhanced. Dave seemed to spot any communication problems within minutes and
helped re-train our bodies to compliment our horse’s movement instead of hindering it. He is a one of a
kind trainer with a unique blend of techniques and I would recommend him to any serious to rider. I can't
wait for Mr. Thind to come teach our next clinic!"

Just wanted to thank you
for the outstanding clinic
you gave us a few weeks
ago. It was very well
received by absolutely
every rider. Personally, I
found the lessons
extremely beneficial. My
mare has been doing
very good work since the
clinic and I feel that I
have a lot more tools to
work with now.
Thanks again,

As an Osteopath, I'm always interested in considering problems from a cause and effect perspective. That’s
why I was so impressed by Dave's methods that are based on much more than just an impressive knowledge
of human and horse anatomy and biomechanics; Dave also has a deep understanding of cause and effect.
For example, within minutes, he can point-out why a long-term issue with your shoulders is actually coming
from a small detail in your pelvis. Seat problems quickly vanish, as do many instances of faulty-seat created
stiffness or pain.
With Dave, you will experience an incredible feeling of liberation when acute problems that other trainers
have either ignored or have simply been unable to fix are dealt with once and for all. Even problems that you
have been trying to fix for years are quickly remedied, with minimal effort! And like magic, your horse who
you thought was naturally heavy on the forehand, crooked, laterally stiff or even slightly off, suddenly
becomes light, supple, straight and happy. Cause and effect; Dave has simply become an expert.
If you get the chance to ride with Dave, you will marvel at how big problems have small and easy solutions.
