Our Approach

From Conception to Foaling:

  • The Frame takes care of every detail when it comes to breeding management. From scheduling veterinary appointments and overseeing insemination to organizing transportation to our partners, we ensure that your broodmare receives the best possible care at every stage.
  • Fifteen days before foaling, she will return to one of our partners, where she will foal under the close watch of reproductive specialists. After a safe and successful foaling, your mare and her new foal return to The Frame at around two weeks old, where the real work begins.

Early Development:

  • The first weeks of a foal’s life are crucial for their development, both physically and mentally. At The Frame, we prioritize hands-on care and structured handling, ensuring that every foal learns the basics of human interaction from day one. Daily handling includes haltering, leading, grooming, and hoof picking—critical skills that set the foundation for a well-adjusted and manageable young horse.
  • As they grow, foals are carefully introduced to turnout in stages. They begin in a small paddock, gradually moving to a medium-sized pasture, and finally, by two months old, to a large field where they have more space to move, play, and develop naturally. Throughout this process, they continue to be handled daily, reinforcing their education and trust in humans.

From Foal to Weanling:

  • From two to six months, foals remain in a large herd alongside their dams, gaining essential social skills while still receiving daily one-on-one attention from our team. At six months, they are weaned and separated into smaller groups based on age, where their training continues with regular farrier appointments and foundational groundwork.

Yearlings to Pre-Backing:

  • During their yearling year, our young horses gain valuable exposure by attending their first breed shows, preparing them for future competition settings. They are also transitioned into separate filly and colt groups, allowing them to continue their social and physical development in an age-appropriate environment.
  • As two-year-olds, they take the next step in their education, attending additional breed shows and, depending on their maturity, beginning free jumping to introduce them to the concept of working over fences. By the end of their two-year-old year, each youngster undergoes a two-week pre-backing process, giving them a soft introduction to wearing tack and carrying a rider. They then take the winter off from arena work, allowing them to mentally and physically absorb their early training before returning in the spring of their three-year-old year to officially enter The Frame Development program.

Testimonials

Finding Martin has been a turning point in my riding career. As an adult rider moving to a new area, I found it hard to find a program that suited both my horse and me. I had lost confidence and felt out of the game. A few months training with The Frame got me back into the show ring and completing my first recognized event! Martin excels both at flatwork and jumping exercises. My mare can be sensitive, and he was quick to figure her out and come up with a program that suited both her and my needs. He understands the importance of establishing a solid foundation and has the skills necessary to work with both horses and riders to make it happen.

Beth Zeilinski

Martin is a top notch trainer with a strength in bringing along horses and riders correctly with a solid foundation. He’s patient and kind to both horse and rider, extremely knowledgeable, and offers high quality care to his boarders. He’s both a great rider and teacher with good communication skills. It’s a lighthearted atmosphere with serious horsemanship–best combo!

Amy Potter

Martin Douzant is an excellent trainer, he truly considers the horse and at the same time makes the horse rideable for the owner.

Melanie Voght

Martin has done just a super job preparing my Training Level event horse for sale. His attention to detail and focus on the horse’s individual needs is outstanding and backed up by a wealth of education and experience. Martin’s ride is always calm and focused, he has a plan and a program for each horse that is a classical progression which builds the strength, understanding, confidence and knowledge the horse needs to succeed. I am most impressed!!

Kate Simmeth

I had a very difficult big young horse, who had thrown a few trainers. I searched the local area and found Martin who, without a doubt, had the quietest aids! I chose him to train my young horse and I have never been disappointed. He has done an excellent job of taming the beast, who will always be a challenge – but not for Martin. As a rider and trainer, he is talented, patient and remains calm in very difficult situations – unflappable, even at a show with 6 horses to ride back to back. Martin is a joy to work with, highly skilled as a trainer with a nice sense of humor and a willingness to fit in when schedules change. I have had horses in training with Martin for over 2 years, he is wonderful and incredibly hard working. My four-year old, who had only been jumping for six weeks with Martin riding him, went to Upperville this year and received the reserve champion for the 4-5yr old division. Having worked in the Virginia horse industry for 30 years, I consider him one of the best trainers.

Georgina Price-Spencer

We recently purchased a young horse from The Frame Sport Horses and what a truly wonderful experience it was! When looking to purchase a horse, there is the potential for it to be a stressful experience – a hard-pressure sell, uncertainty about the horse’s background and experience. Yet every time we looked at one of Martin’s horses, my family and I remarked on what a relaxed and enjoyable experience it was. Never once did we feel pressured or rushed in the slightest. Our trainer and vet both found him to be extremely knowledgeable and a true delight to work with as well. It was apparent he has a great deal of integrity and there was never a doubt that his ultimate desire was not to simply sell a horse, but rather to ensure we found the best fit for our daughter. The horse we purchased, which is one Martin hand-picked, is an absolute pleasure to have in our barn and truly exceeds our expectations. We would refer fellow equestrians to The Frame Sport Horses again and again!
