Daniel completed the 12-week residential Foundation Course in 2003 and was placed at Tom George’s racing yard to widen his experience in the racing industry.
After gaining valuable experience, Daniel decided to deepen his understanding of the development and training of the horse and spent a summer with international trainer Francois Doumen. He obtained wide skills in the horseracing industry, from preparing bloodstock for sales, track riding horses for Australian Champion Trainer, Gai Waterhouse, to equine massage training.
A degree from the Royal Agricultural College ensured a scientific understanding of the equine athlete. Three years with trainer Roger Charlton gave Daniel insight into patiently developing horses for owners, including the late Queen and Juddmonte. This taught him the importance of expert knowledge of form and bloodstock. As Ben Cecil’s assistant in California, he furthered his knowledge of preparing horses for international success.
In just one year, Dan took out his training licence to train racehorses and settled his training facilities in Lambourn, Berkshire.
