Top-tier training and elite competition built around a community of down-to-earth, genuinely passionate equestrians.
The Program
Elite sport.
Approachable people.
One extraordinary place.
Dana Cooke knows equestrians sport from the inside out — as a working student, as a groom at the Olympics, as a trainer, and as a competitor who has stood on the podium at the Pan American Games and lined up at the start of a five-star cross-country course. She knows what it takes.
Kingfisher Park is where she applies it — a 200-acre equestrian facility in Mooresville, North Carolina, built around two core beliefs: horses do better when they live well, and riders learn more when they're actually enjoying themselves.
Dana’s program spans elite-level competition, professional coaching from beginner to advanced, horse sales, boarding, and a growing ownership community that puts everyday equestrians right at the center of international sport. There is room for all of it here, and for the people who want to be part of it.

The Facility: Kingfisher Park Equestrian
Kingfisher Park Equestrian is not a boarding facility that happens to have a competition program. It is a dedicated performance environment — built around the needs of serious horses and serious riders — that also happens to be genuinely beautiful to spend time in. Wooded trails, rolling pasture, streams, and some very well-looked-after horses.
