At first glance, DQ Performance Horses looks like a beautiful, high-level dressage training and sales operation. And it is that, but it’s that and more. DQ Performance Horses is a direct result of the dedication and lifelong work of an athlete, an instructor, and a fierce advocate for classical riding. At its core is Ana DiGironimo: a USDF Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medalist whose passion for the sport began at age three and never let up.
With nearly 30 years of riding experience and mentorship from some of the top names of the sport, Ana brings both classical depth and modern adaptability to her work. She tailors her approach to each horse and rider, whether it’s a green beginner rider, an FEI pony, or a seasoned competitive team preparing for national championships.
The photos from our branding session reflect that duality: elegance with grit, grace with presence. The images give potential clients a clear and compelling look into Ana’s world, where success is built on foundation, feel, and thoughtful instruction.
But the DQ branding goes beyond what happens in the arena. The session included professional portraits, candid barn moments, and striking visual assets that Ana can now use across her website, social media, and marketing, giving her the visual clarity and cohesion that every high-level business deserves.
RIDING
The best branding images pull double duty, they showcase your business and they introduce you. We photographed her riding to reflect the polish and skill she brings to every ride, showcasing her classical background and modern approach.
TRAINING
For Ana, it was also important that her imagery reflected both her professionalism and her approachable, grounded nature as a trainer. For me, that meant it was important to strike a balance on imagery that showcased her thoughtful, encouraging approach with both horses and riders while also feeling structured and composed.
PORTRAITS
We also captured a series of relaxed portraits to show her connection to the horses and her down-to-earth personality. These visual layers help audiences connect with Ana not just as a rider and coach, but as a horsewoman. The resulting images are versatile and authentic, perfect for biography pages, editorial features, and social media moments that invite people into the world of DQ Performance Horses.
