Meet the De Frates'

Dana De Frates
Dana started riding before she could walk and grew up dreaming of a career in the equestrian industry. The realities of life in the S.F. Bay Area initially took Dana in a different direction, but her dreams never died. After a few traumatic events all but destroyed her confidence on horseback, she used her corporate learning and development background combined with horsemanship concepts to rebuild what she had lost. Once successful, she made it her mission to help others facing similar challenges. Dana, now living her dream, 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. By utilizing Dana's Lead the Change Principles in conjunction with horsemanship concepts, Jason overcame his fear and regained his confidence, achieving incredible success both in and out of the saddle. This unique blend of theories was so powerful that Jason convinced Dana it was time to stop dreaming and finally start a business.
