Winterfest Gala Open House
The party was a resounding success with around 200 attending. The food, provided by LeBrian's Catering, was amazing. A big "Thank you" to Stacy Raymond of Mobile Music Express for doing such a great job with the music for the horse presentation. And Andrew Harling's classical guitar was absolutely beautiful.
Thank you everyone for coming and allowing me to share my passion for these beautiful and versatile Arabian horses!

Welcome To New Head Trainer
Donna Martino LLC welcomes new
head trainer, Frank Dickten.
Frank has 25 years of experience training English,
hunter, western, and halter horses. He loves
working with amateurs and youth riders and has had
success on a regional and national level. What
really stands out about Frank is that not only
does he teach his amateurs how to ride and show
well, but also to understand and have a real feel
for their horse. His teaching methods are positive
and encouraging, instilling confidence in both
horse and rider. He is extremely gifted when it
comes to teaching both horse and rider, and his
abilities have been acknowledged by some of the
top trainers in the country.
Wendy Potts says, "Frank is good at everything
he does. Whether it's performance or halter, his
horses are always beautifully turned out". Chris
Culbreth says," I have known Frank for almost 20
years. In that time I have known him to be a very
talented and hard working Horseman. He has the
ability to train for many disciplines. As a
performance trainer, I have watched him excel with
English, Western, and Hunter horses. As a Halter
trainer, I have observed him doing an excellent
job with everything from yearlings to mature
horses."
Tosha Cox, client says, "I have a deep respect
for Frank Dickten. I admire his decision to follow
his heart and return to training horses. He truly
has a gift, not only with the horses but also with
teaching. It is evident he brings a lifetime of
experience to the table, and he has a great way of
explaining all of the "why's". I am amazed at all
that I've learned from him in the short time since
he has arrived. Perhaps most importantly, Frank
knows how to ensure that we always have fun!"
We look forward to all the new possibilities and
opportunities that will come our way now that
Frank is on board.
