The Destination:
“I can’t remember riding
our family’s pony for the
first time, but I will never
forget     galloping    and
jumping     around     our
fields’   years   ago.  Ever
since,  I’ve  dreamed   of
competing on the United
States Equestrian Team.”

With your  help,  this dream
certainly     can      become
reality.  Take  advantage of
this   rare  opportunity, and
be  a part  of  our quest  for
the    2012    Olympics,   in
London.    When     you’ve
joined  DPEquestrian you’ll
enjoy a multitude of benefits from     taking      part     on personal    course     walks,

training sessions, and shows, You will personally experience the unparalleled partnership between horse and rider, and knowing YOU play a vital role in each successful competition. Support can come in many different forms, anywhere from partial to full ownership, financial [tax deducible 503(c)] or product support. As you can well imagine all of my successes have not come without hard work and financial backing from people such as yourself, for which I will always be humbled, indebted and appreciative. I would be honored to have your support on this journey; I can’t wait to have you along for the ride. For more information about joining this generous group click here.

Over the years I have trained and competed countless horses through the upper levels of both Dressage and Eventing. I thoroughly enjoy the challenges that riding new and different horses presents, and I try to ride as many horses as possible to give myself an even broader experience base to draw from in the future.

Early Beginnings:
At age 7, Doug joined the United States Pony Club which is a youth organization established to educate and promote horse sports to people under 21. He is a graduate 'A' rated Pony Club member, and donates as much time as possible to teach for his local club. The USPC has created a rating system from 'D' to 'A' in which the 'A' is the highest of nine increments and is the most rarely attained rating.

In 2000, Doug graduated from Voorhees High School of Glen Gardner, NJ with high honors, and was a member of the National Honor Society and the German Honor Society. He continued his academic success at RIT where he was a member of the National Scholars Honor Society, as well as the Dean's List in consecutive years.

At RIT, Doug was a member of the alpine ski team, and enjoys running and swimming as well as many other outdoor activities. In April of 2005, he completed the Big Sur International marathon, placing 15th in his division and 201st of the 4,500 participants in a time of 3:28. He tries to stay well rounded and is also an avid photography, car and computer enthusiast believing that although horses are definitely an integral part, they are not all there is to life.

Current Competition Horses:
At the present time Doug is competing his horses King 268 (Chester) and Rocket, a horse in partnership with Cindy and Randy Clover. He has a number of horses in training that will periodically be competing throughout the year.
