Dale has spent his life studying the horse under master horseman such as : Ray Hunt, Tom Dorrance and Charlie Hill.  It is through these men that he developed his passion for riding with feel, timing and balance; as well as truly understanding a horse's mind and body. 

Dale began his journey back in his teens, when he thought that "their had to be a better way". 

Growing up in the old school tradition of horse training - Dale was taught to cheek him around and get on - it would be what it would be. But Dale wanted a better relationship with his horses and to be the best hand he could be without fighting with his horses - thats what led him to Ray Hunt.
