 Trainer Danielle has over 30+ years horse experience in the equine industry. Throughout the years she has worked with many disciplines and breeds. Her most      in-depth background is in the AQHA style and disciplines. She has trained many horses to be versatile all-around horses. Her horses and herself hold many championship titles from western pleasure, in-hand events, hunter under saddle, and ranch. She and her AQHA gelding Sure Soxy were awarded the 2015 National Champion is both Western Pleasure and Ranch Pleasure. Since then she has won many awards at open shows under western, ranch, and HUS. She thrives off her clients doing well and takes much pride in being able to teach an individual to work their own horse to create a special partnership. Although she will ride horses for clients, she likes to always see the rider working their own horse and become a team. 

   Kate has been involved with horses on-and-off for 20+ years. As a teenager, she took lessons at a Jumper barn in Northern Virginia, specializing in Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds. After a 10-year hiatus from riding, she began riding again - this time, Hunt Seat.  Shortly after her daughter, Rylie, began taking lessons at Tom's Performance Horses, Kate moved her horse, Elvis, to Hat Creek to begin lessons with Danielle. Most recently, she and Elvis have been learning Western Pleasure and Ranch Riding and hope to try their hand at Western Dressage.  You will see Kate around the barn, lending help anywhere needed.
