Training
Isola Stables is a full service Training Barn for the competitive rider, the novice rider and everything in between. Trainer, David Murdoch, is a true Horsemaster, having gained his extensive knowledge and understanding of the training of horses and riders through years of experience in his native New Zealand, Europe and Canada. Instruction and training are provided from the novice to Grand Prix levels.
Isola riders are regularly in the ribbons and championships at horseshows, resulting from consistent and proper training techniques. David’s ability to identify athletic and talented horses is a huge asset to his clients. For students graduating from the Riding School and entering into horse ownership for the first time, David is very good at finding the right match of horse and rider for all levels and abilities.
Isola riders are quite sociable and supportive of one another at the shows and at home. This creates a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to learning and enjoying all aspects of horsemanship.
For further information regarding training at Isola Stables, contact David Murdoch at 650-867-8201 or 650-854-4955.
