About Molly Duzan
Molly Duzan is the Manager of Circle A Stables where she conducts riding lessons, summer camp, and pony club under her company, Duzan Riding Academy, LLC. Molly has over fifteen years of experience in the horse industry that includes training, competing, breeding, and teaching lessons. She has participated in Hunter Under Saddle, Hunters (jumping), Equitation, Western Riding, Horsemanship, Showmanship, and Reining. Molly has broke and trained several horses that have gone on to be solid, competitive youth horses.
Molly began riding at the age of eight at Autumn Rose Farm where she rode and competed under Ollie Griffith and Clint Ainsworth for twelve years. While at Autumn Rose, she also assisted with summer camps and therapeutic riding.
During high school, Molly worked for various farms and increased her knowledge of horses and the horse industry, and continued training at Autumn Rose.
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. Reining horses are some of the most meticulously trained horses in the industry, and Molly is able to apply these methods to other disciplines.
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. She enjoys training, showing, and breeding horses.
