Dave had spent too many years being abandoned by the horseback sector of the family. He decided to put his driving skills into practice and bought himself a pair of black Friesian stallions (after spending many years admiring them pulling the Harrods carriages) their amazing temperament and personality, soon increased his stock levels, buying youngsters, handling and breaking them in for riding and driving, training them in town traffic, off road and in the school teaching them to go as singles, pairs, tandem and as a team.
