Dan Steers Growing up in Western Australia Dan Steers first discovered his love for horses in his early teens; at 15 he began working for master farrier and horseman Pete Webber developing his horsemanship and farrier skills. At 17, Steers began working for cutting trainer, Corry Holden, where he spent months training horses and was quickly recognized for his achievements in the show ring. Before long he was conducting regular horsemanship clinics and became highly respected for his skills, talent and ability to communicate.

In 2009, Steers and James relocated to New South Wales and Double Dan Horsemanship was born leading both young stars down the Pathway to Liberty. Starting and training horses with the Double Dan Horsemanship method and showcasing their talents is Steers true passion. By combining education and entertainment Steers electrifies crowds around the world. Dan James Born in Queensland Australia on a small cattle farm, Dan James, first began his lifelong passion with horses at six weeks old.
