ABOUT

An avid rider from the young age of eight years old, Dover learned to ride bareback on a family friend’s pony and has been in love with the equestrian life ever since. As the daughter of two accomplished artists, riding and caring for horses was how Dover expressed her creativity and now it is her mission, to help others do the same! 

By the time Dover was in her early teens she was showing, attending pony club, fox hunting, eventing and working in barns to pay for her horses. Delaware Valley Horseman’s Association was a local show that offered English and Western classes and had the famous bareback dollar class which Dover frequently won! Fun fact: this class would often go as far as having the final two contestants jump fences to have one rider finally drop the dollar! At age fourteen, she won the ASPCA Henry Bergh National Horsemanship award, which is also when she started taking riding lessons from George Morris. Throughout her junior years she continued to compete in equitation including the AHSA Medal and ASPCA Maclay. Dover was involved in the local equestrian scene until she graduated from high school, when she then went to work for Hunterdon (George Morris) traveling the country and spending winters in Wellington Florida on the horse show circuit.

As an adult Dover has competed in the Jumpers and Hunters. She originally started DCB Equestrian, LLC in Tryon, NC training students and their horses, horse showing and importing warmbloods from the Netherlands for clients and as sales prospects. She continued on this path for many years eventually stepping out of the horse business to build a career in pharmaceutical marketing. With her BA in Business Administration she spent the next fifteen years working her way up to be president of a small medical communications agency. In 2017 Dover established CONNX Clinical Solutions, LLC which offers custom medical content to the pharmaceutical industry. 

Over the past 10 years, Dover’s passion for equine bodywork and rehabilitation has steadily grown. Now, DCB Equestrian will focus on Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy, Equine Sports Massage, and Rehabilitation. In partnership with her daughter, Phoebe Bull, they have launched DCB Equestrian Wellness to provide holistic care for horses.
