David Adamo has been my one and only event trainer for the past 6 years. He’s trained me, a relative beginner with only a light hunter/jumper background, from the ground up. His program has taken me from beginner novice to intermediate/two star level, and at each level he has so much experience and so much advice to offer. 

I was extremely timid when I began eventing, and I’m happy to say that David has really broken me out of my shell and taught me that there is nothing to be afraid of, and bold riding is the only way to have a positive ride. There is no question in my mind that I would not be where I am today without his guidance and support. He’s been the ultimate example himself, as he competes regularly at the highest levels of our sport, and he has invented a fabulous conditioning program for my Warmblood horse, Finnegan’s Wake, to get him in shape to make the time going 550 mpm on cross country. In fact, I honestly never thought my goals would exceed Preliminary level, and now Intermediate is comfortable and very within my capabilities. This is because David takes you step by step, day by day. 

I guarantee if you ride with David, you will surprise yourself with your own progress. He is the best teacher I’ve ever had with clear mental imaging techniques to demonstrate correct body position and true engagement. I wholeheartedly recommend his training and his successful eventing approach. He’s also helped improve my dressage basics so much, and worked through many issues with my horse when I’d hit a wall. I wish I could say more, but David did say a brief paragraph. In closing, if you have major goals or if you’re new to eventing and want to explore it further, David Adamo is the ideal trainer to get you where you want to go.
