Justin Resnik and Dale Harvey have known each other for almost 20 years. When Justin was 14 years old, he trained with Dale and Maple Leaf Farms at the Orange County Fairgrounds.

 

In 2010, Dale began working with Justin again as his ground coach for his Grand Prix horses as well as developing horses.


An accomplished Grand Prix rider, Dale Harvey twice represented Canada at the World Cup Finals; once in 1992 at Del Mar, CA, and again in 1993 in Gothenburg, Sweden. He owned and operated Maple Leaf Farms, a successful Hunter/Jumper training facility in Del Mar, for 17 years where he trained three students (two in their rookie years) to World Cup competition in 2000 and another to the PCHA Rookie of the Year for 1999 and 2000. (Justin trained with Dale from 1993-1995)

 

In addition to Dale's talents as a rider and trainer, he continues to be a sought after course designer, equine expert witness, and horse show manager. Dale has managed the Hunter/Jumper week of the Del Mar National Horse Show since 1997 and owned and managed the Del Mar International and the Palms Classic among a variety of other USEF "AA"rated shows.

He has been a member of the Pacific Coast Horse Shows Association Board of Directors from 1993 to 1994 and again from 1997 to 1998.
