Meet the Instructor

Hello! My name is Katelyn Daniel. I am proud to say I have grown up with horses always being a big part of my life. Just as with many things, I started out as a beginner and worked my way up to the professional level in many respects. I started out running barrels at local shows and that love turned into showing Tennessee Walking Horses on the national level. The highlight of my show career happened in 2007. I won two world titles, World Champion and World Grand Champion, on a horse my family had raised from a foal and I trained as a youth rider.
​
However, my love for draft horses began when I received a book for my birthday in 1997. The book had all of the horse breeds, and I remember when I flipped to the page with all the various draft breeds, I knew I would have one of some type. One year, the Budweiser Clydesdales came to Spencer and I made vow that I would have one one day.
When I was 27, I rescued my first draft horse, a percheron gelding. Ever since I made the leap into drafts, I have had the opportunity to own some beautiful Percherons. In 2023, I finally got my very first Clydesdale. Now in 2024 I have several Clydesdales, and I even added one to my new lesson program!
​
My plan is simple. I want to share my love of draft horses with more people than just myself. I want people to have an opportunity to interact with these gentle giants as I do.
​
If you are new to horses, I will take my time and introduce you to the basic skills of horsemanship and riding.
​
If you are wanting to learn how to care for and ride a horse so you can buy your very own in the future, I can help!
​
If you are someone who already knows how to ride and wants to sharpen your skills, I can help!
​
The possibilities are truly endless!
​
Let's talk so we can figure out what plan is right for you! I am looking forward to working with you!
-Katelyn
