Molly Duzan is the Owner and Manager of Duzan Riding Academy where she conducts riding lessons, summer camp, and pony club. Molly has nearly twenty years of experience in the horse industry that includes riding, competing, training, breeding, and teaching lessons. She has participated in Hunter Under Saddle, Hunters (jumping), Equitation, Horsemanship, Showmanship, and Reining. Molly has broke and trained several horses that have gone on to be solid, competitive youth horses.
Molly received her B.S. Degree in Agriculture from The Ohio State University where she majored in Animal Science. While at OSU, she competed on the Equestrian Team and worked at the OSU Equine Facility where she helped train horses, breed, and deliver foals. During Molly’s final year at OSU, she also refined her skills in horse training and reining horses at Roseland Farms under the supervision of Brandon Brant. This experience was simply invaluable for Molly because she got to ride and help train some of the best horses in the world of reining.
Molly currently breaks and trains several horses each year, and works with riders to bring them to a higher level of communication with and understanding of their horse. She is a member of the American Riding Instructors Association and is currently completing her certification from that association. She is also an active member of the American Quarter Horse Association, the United States Equestrian Federation, and the Ohio Hunter/Jumper Association. Molly loves giving children and adults a broad and well rounded education about horses.
