Decades of experience in the Equestrian Business
When Christiane Noelting moved to California in 1982, she had already coached her Hamburg based vaulting team to National and International titles. As a rider, Christiane established connections with local breeders as well as larger enterprises which still to this day are the basis of our network of trusted business friends. After moving to the US, CNDC grew steadily from a one-person sole proprietorship to the state of the art facility we are today. If you join our team, you can draw on a wealth of knowledge of equestrian and business acumen.
