Danielle’s equestrian career started very early when she was gifted summer riding lessons as a child. This ignited the passion she still carries today. Growing up in Lancaster County, PA. Danielle was surrounded by some of the best Hunter/Jumper trainers on the East Coast. She was fortunate enough to ride with Jerre Frankhouser for many years as a young equestrain. Although Danielle had a love for jumping, her true calling was with the Arabian breed and the breed shows. She spent her junior career winning Championships in Hunter Pleasure, Grooming & Showmanship, and Hunt Seat Equitation. Through the Arabian breed connections that were made, Danielle met her first horse and true love, Nakeer.

Nakeer was a 17 year old purebred Arabian who showed Danielle that she was destined to become a horse trainer.
Danielle’s passion led her to study and complete a Bachelor of Science degree at Lake Erie College in 2013. She chose to pursue Equine Entrepreneurship and also obtained a Business administration minor. With her education and background experience, Danielle takes the business aspect of the equine industry very seriously. It is this business outlook and her passion for the well being of horses that has allowed her to become trustworthy and successful. Thus far in her career, she has taken multiple horses up through the levels. Beginning at training level through the FEI level.
Danielle has done her due diligence in the past years to learn from as many professionals as she could. She travels to many clinics throughout the year and takes lessons on a regular basis. She has taken what she has learned and has built a very successful training program for both the horse and the rider.
