A 5th generation Israeli, Eitan will tell you he was born on a horse. Horses have led him on an incredible life journey through Europe and then to the United States. His early mentors were from the Hungarian Cavalry and the circus. Later he would be greatly influenced by the Spanish Riding School where he worked cleaning stalls while attending Veterinary School at the University of Vienna. His love of the American Cowboy, his childhood heroes of the Silver Screen, further influenced him. Combining his classical background with America's western horses he developed his own unique style -- Cowboy Dressage.

After a successful show career he retired with his wife Debbie and now is devoted to teaching his horsemanship at his Wolf Creek Ranch in Grass Valley, CA and at many clinics across the country and abroad.

Eitan and Debbie, a California girl, met through their life with horses. She owned and bred Eitan's most famous mount, Holiday Compadre. Eitan was looking for a special horse and Debbie was looking for a special trainer. They shared one lunch and have been attached at the hip ever since, married for the past 20 years!
