 WHAT HAS DAN JAMES BEEN UP TO?
Dan James, the winner of the 2008 Australian Horsemanship Award, is continuing to make his mark on the horse scene in this country. He and champion horseman, Dan Steers, have been performing in live shows and conducting clinics under the banner of DOUBLE DAN HORSEMANSHIP.
Several months ago they established their headquarters in eastern Australia at the NSW Central Coast property of movie horse trainer Heath Harris. They have been working continually since arriving from W.A. At the 2009 Sydney Royal they appeared twice a day in both their own show and the main arena’s TRUE BLUE and during that period Dan Steers found time to compete in some campdrafts. They’ve been training horses, giving lessons and are presently doing a Queensland run appearing at major equestrian events and starring in their own Double Dan Show EXTREME EQUINE ACTION.
Earlier this year Dan James spent several weeks in Kentucky at the request of Clay Maier. Based in the magnificent Kentucky Horse Park, the site of next year’s World Equestrian Games, Maier is renowned for his Friesian Spectaculars and is one of the world’s finest exponents of driving and long reining. Dan will return to the States in August.
“There’s a possibility Dan Steers and I can be involved in Cotton Rosser’s rodeo circuit. He’s one of the leading contractors over there and a great rodeo showman.”
Upon the Dans’ return to NSW they’ll be at AELEC in Tamworth for the Double Dan Clinic and Live Show on July 4-5 which will also feature Harris Entertainment’s GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS and MOVIE MAGIC with Heath Harris and his liberty horses.
