Born and raised in the Midwest, David worked two jobs in order to buy his first horse at a very young age. His excellent training and showing background throughout his life is extensive, competing at the All American Quarter Horse Congress and AQHA World Show. David Lawson burst onto the Northern California barrel racing scene a couple of years ago and quickly became the guy to beat. Training, showing and sales of barrel horses at various competition levels is the focus of David’s business. David also enjoys working with problem horses, starting novice horses and helping riders of all ages improve their horsemanship skills. Bio:
Valerie has a life long passion for horses and has competed at the international level in 3 day eventing in Europe. She is a certified instructor from France and believes in positive training. For the past seventeen years in the US, she has been very active in training and qualifying horses and riders at different levels for national and international competitions. She offers personalized training in a safe and fun environment for kids, teenagers and adults. She loves starting horses and working with young, challenging horses.

Horses have been a big part of Monica’s life since she was a small child. She has enjoyed many different disciplines throughout the years, competing in hunter/jumper, eventing and dressage, as well as breeding and starting young horses on her ranch in Petaluma. Monica appreciates the challenges of the amateur as she spent decades juggling a career in lending, family, and her equestrian pursuits. Monica’s teaching and training is focused on the Hunter/Jumper/Equitation disciplines, with the added benefit of utilizing her background in dressage and cross country jumping.
