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.

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

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

Martin has done just a super job preparing my Training Level event horse for sale. His attention to detail and focus on the horseâ€™s individual needs is outstanding and backed up by a wealth of education and experience. Martinâ€™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!!

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 â€“ but not for Martin. As a rider and trainer, he is talented, patient and remains calm in very difficult situations â€“ 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.

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 â€“ a hard-pressure sell, uncertainty about the horseâ€™s background and experience. Yet every time we looked at one of Martinâ€™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!
