Meet the De Frates'

Dana De Frates
Dana started riding before she could walk, but never thought she could have a career in the equine industry.  After a few traumatic events all but destroyed her confidence, she used her corporate learning and development background combined with horsemanship concepts to rebuild what she lost. Once successful she made it her mission to help others who face similar challenges. Dana now uses this unique blend of disciplines to help her clients 'Lead the Change' and achieve success, whether that success is sought in a dirt arena or a corporate one.
Jason De Frates 
Jason grew up riding steel horses but never had an interest in riding the real ones. All that changed when he met Dana, and he quickly grew to share her passion for horses. The study of horsemanship gave Jason a new outlook on life until a horrific accident left him hospitalized and threatened to not only strip him of his new found hobby, but also his confidence. The Lead the Change principles helped Jason overcome his fear, regain his confidence, and achieve incredible success both in and out of the saddle.
