Dave was never brought up with horses but they've kind of grown on him! He keeps fairly busy running our General Contracting company and he's not a "rider" himself but he does enjoy being around them. Often times you find him willingly helping to bring horses in and out, muck stalls, hold horses for the vet and farrier, trailer horses, helping students to collect their horses or ponies from the field, etc., etc. He plays a huge role and is a valuable partner in the operation of the farm.
We have been married for almost 16 years and have 4 adult children together, a son in-law, a daughter in-law and 2 beautiful grandsons.
It is our intent to run Paradise Ridge Equestrian Centre as a first class boarding facility where everyone will feel welcomed and right at home and they will feel confident knowing that their equine is receiving knowledgeable and loving care.
