David Dellin
Three time AQHA World Pleasure Champion

Upon leaving Gil Galyean's, Dave became the head trainer at Northwind Ranch in Pilot Point Texas. While at Northwind Dave trained and coached the 2004 AQHA Youth World Champion Western Pleasure horse and rider, Blair Kern and Impulsive Lite. In 2005 he rode One Hot Krymsun to another Congress win in the Open Western Pleasure Maturity as well as an AQHA World Championship in Sr. Western Pleasure.

In December of 2005 Dave and his wife Julie, and son Gage started their own training operation, Dellin Quarter Horses, and reside in Sanger, Texas. The Dellin's involvement in the UK has developed over the last three years since meeting with John and Lou who were so impressed with his training of their European Champion stud Zip Chip Leaguer - aka - Studley - that they invited him to make a UK clinic tour last year.

The relationship between these two families is strong and active with David now training all of John and Lou's pleasure horses in the USA and John marketing David merchandise on an exclusive basis in Europe. David has continued to develop his UK involvement by helping Lee Rutter expand his knowledge and skills whilst working with David for a month in the latter stages of last year and by other UK owners placing their US based horses into the care of David and Julie in Sanger.

Plans are in progress for the 2008 tour to the UK and Europe.
