A Legacy of Horsemanship
At PDM, we are a family of horsemen. Our foundation was laid over 50 years ago by Gabe Belluomini, who built a full-service equestrian facility based on a deep respect for the horse and the sport. Since Gabe’s passing in 2022, we have been honored to carry his torch forward, maintaining the high standards and warm family atmosphere he established.
Today, PDM is proud to see four generations of our family riding at the barn. Head trainer Denise (Gabe’s daughter) leads our program with a lifetime of expertise. Her daughter, Heather, competes in both hunters and jumpers, while the newest generation—great-granddaughter Gemma—continues the tradition in the hunter rings with her horse, Tiki Car. Between Denise and Heather, PDM offers over 100 years of combined experience to our clients.
Our Riding ProgramWhether you are stepping into a stirrup for the first time or looking to polish your performance for the Grand Prix ring, PDM offers a path for every rider.

• Beginner Foundation: We believe a strong start is the key to success. Our assistant trainer, Lilly, provides a welcoming and encouraging environment for our new riders. We are also proud to offer a bilingual training experience, as Lilly is fluent in Spanish.
• "Little Riders": Our specialized program for ages 4–5 offers private, shorter sessions designed for young attention spans at an affordable price.
• All-Inclusive Entry: We make starting the sport simple. For our beginner students, we provide the lesson horse, saddle, bridle, helmet, and grooming supplies.
• Advanced Training: For the experienced equestrian, we offer a variety of seasoned lesson horses or the professional coaching needed to take you and your own horse to the next level.

The Equestrian Performance Team (EPT)
To supplement our daily riding program, we offer the Equestrian Performance Team (EPT)—a non-profit initiative focused on advancing equestrian excellence through education and accountability. By incorporating structured performance plans and team-based support, we ensure our riders have every tool necessary to reach their personal goals in and out of the arena.
Competition & Horse ShowsPDM is a premier destination for competition, hosting five horse shows annually, four of which are pointed for the Equestrian Sports Awards (ESA). Our barn also travels to compete at top venues throughout Northern and Southern California, supporting our riders from their first local show to the regional stage.
