"Daniel works in a calm and respectful manner and any decisions he makes with regard to training is made with the benefit of horse and rider in mind. He has been the first trainer I've had that hasn't been put off by my disability and has actually taken me on and treated me as a regular rider. Working with Daniel, I'm achieving so much more and feel that my goals are now within reach. "

"Daniel is an exceptional dressage rider, trainer and instructor with a deep understanding of equine behaviour. Eighteen months ago, we brought Daniel our talented but difficult 9 year old gelding for schooling livery with the objective of improving our horse's way of going and behaviour (both under saddle and on the ground) and at the same time developing our riding. The results have been truly transformational. Daniel is consistent and patient in his training methods, he does not take short cuts and establishes solid foundations for both horse and rider. Exfold is a lovely yard run by a dedicated and professional team and we know our horse is well cared for. We're delighted with the progress we've made with our riding and amazed at the improvement in our horse. "
