Dennis Callin is an International Grand Prix rider and a United States Dressage Federation (USDF) Gold Medallist. Having started riding at 12 Dennis graduated from the accredited Meredith Manor School of Horsemanship, attaining a Riding Master Certificate. Dennis then continued at the Manor as an instructor for a further 6 years. During this time Dennis had the opportunity to train with Ernst Bachinger from the world famous Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria and with the Swedish Olympian Col Bengt Ljungquist who went on to coach the1976 US Olympic Bronze medal winning team.

Dennis established himself as a teacher, trainer, mentor and competitor after leaving his teaching post at Meredith Manor, winning numerous regional and national titles. Some notable achievements include:
Educational Chair of the North Carolina Dressage and Combined Training Association
Coach of the North American champion, Susan Dutta
Coach of the Gold Medal winning North American NJYR Championships, Mary Haskins Gray
The opportunity to live and train in Europe was not one to be missed, including six years spent in Germany working with world renowned dressage trainers such as Georg Theodorescu, Jurgen and Christoph Koschel (with whom Dennis still works).
International Grand Prix success began in 1984 with second places for Team USA at the CDIOs in Aachen and Rotterdam.

Dennis now lives in Great Britain but he continues his international competition career and teaching commitments, travelling frequently to the USA where he conducts seminars and private lessons. His most current International placings were with his equine partner D'Accord 58 with whom he had numerous top ten placings (placings in brackets) between 2010 to 2012 culminating with a top 100 ranking in the World Ranking list.
