For twenty-six years, Mr. Williams has studied with, and co-taught with Charles de Kunffy. In addition to riding skills, he learned the theory of horsemanship and the attitudes and character development suitable for equestrians. Mr. Williams has co-taught more than thirty comprehensive equestrian courses with Mr. de Kunffy. He is the only instructor invited to co-teach in-depth riding courses and USDF accredited courses for riding instructors with Mr. de Kunffy.

 In 1980 he began studying under the watchful eyes of Herr Arthur Kottas-Heldenberg at his private stable near Vienna. Kottas is the former First Chief Rider of the Spanish Riding School. Since 1995 Mr. Williams has studied regularly in Budapest, Hungary and in USA with internationally recognized dressage competitor, Gyula Dallos. Mr. Dallos is best known for competing on the gray Dutch stallion ACTION. Over the past 12 years Mr. Williams has studied for extended periods of concentrated private instruction with Mr. Dallos. His further experience on all levels of horses, under Mr. Dallos' coaching has given him invaluable knowledge and skills in riding, training and teaching at all levels
