Josh Albrecht is the Founder and Head Trainer of Coalcyn Equestrian. Raised on a family ranch, Josh’s foundation bridges the gap between traditional ranch horsemanship, elite dressage, and breeding excellence. While his roots are in the ranching traditions of Quarter Horses, Josh has transitioned into specializing in elite Dutch Warmbloods. He is currently a consistent competitor in the Grand Prix CDI arena, with his premier mount, Goldenboy. This partnership reached a pinnacle during the Florida winter season, where Josh was named to the U25 Nations Cup Team and secured an Individual Silver Medal for his Grand Prix Freestyle. Josh has also qualified for and placed in top standings in the the Brentina Cup at the Festival of Champions.
​
Additionally, Josh is dedicated to developing young dressage talent. He is a regular competitor at the Festival of Champions, where he consistently trains and competes top-tier young horses. Now based back in California, Josh continues to combine his natural "horseman’s eye" with the precision required for international dressage.
​
Coalcyn Equestrian is now a fixture in the Dutch Warmblood community hosting inspection events, schooling shows, young horse development programs and breeding initiatives. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Josh and his team with our stallions, broodmares, young horses and FEI competition horses.

Northern California - Josh Albrecht
Southern California - Stephen Birchall
From a childhood start with a Florida pony to competing at the Grand Prix level, my life has been defined by a dedication to classical dressage. As the founder of Birchall Equestrian & Company, I leverage a unique blend of a business degree and decades of elite training to bridge the gap between European sport horse sales and American riders. My experience spans years of intensive training with industry legends, earning USDF Bronze, Silver and GOld medals, and managing top-tier training facilities across both coasts. Now based in rancho Santa Fe, CA, I specialize in a boutique approach to dressage training, sales, and consignment. Whether developing young prospects or refining FEI competitors, my mission is to foster a partnership built on the "independent seat" and an unwavering respect for the horse.

In 2025 Stephen took on our Riptide to help our massive horse believe in himself, carry himself better, and overcome some training obstacles to get back into the show ring! We can't wait for their future together!
