Dave Russell has 45 years of experience with horses, focusing on training and communication without force or gadgets.

To be able to communicate to the horse on the ground, and under saddle, in a way that requires no gadgets or force is purely a rewarding experience and comforting to the horse.

His love of all animals in particular horses, has led him down the path of horse training. Learning the silent language of the horse and teaching people continues to be a lifelong journey.

In Dave’s ever evolving training he teaches people a solid foundation.

His training philosophy emphasizes safety, education, and a solid foundation for various disciplines, including reining, ranch, and dressage... Just to name a few.

He operates Danima Equestrian Centre in Narre Warren North, Victoria where he offers private lessons and clinics.

Under 18 yrs of age MUST wear an approved helmet
