We would like to warmly welcome and introduce Danielle Kaiser as a member of our team! Danielle has been with us this summer helping with riding, teaching and holding down the fort while we are away at shows! I’m just now getting to updates!

 We are super excited to have Danielle with us and she brings many many years of valuable industry experience!

 ***please check out Danielle ‘s bio below to learn a little more about her!**

I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and started riding when I was 8 and immediately caught the horse bug! I was fortunate to start with a great program with great trainers that also instilled a solid foundation in horsemanship that set the tone for my career.

Shortly after aging out of the juniors I went to work for a large, well established barn in St. Louis where we regularly took 30 horses on the road. While there I learned all the logistics of having so many horses on the road and the organization it required with that many riders. After six busy years of training and showing I decided to open my own business in Wildwood, Missouri.

There I leased a facility with 30 stalls on 25 acres. My business grew from young riders discovering their love of horses to a large base of adult riders as well. Twelve years later and only ever having lived in St. Louis I found myself wanting to venture out and expand my knowledge so I took a leap of faith!

I have always been a student of the sport so I moved east. There I was fortunate to work with some of the top Grand Prix riders, Laura Kraut and Margie Engle. What an incredible experience that was!

My first love has always been the hunters and equitation so I was off to Buffalo, NY to work at SBS Farms for Susie Schoellkopf. I was truly in “hunter heaven” as GG Valentine was in her prime and the extraordinary string of hunters there. My time spent there was amazing but the weather was not! Working for Susie opened up an incredible opportunity for me in Katonah, NY. at Heritage Farm with Andre Dignelli. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with one of the most prestigious programs in the country. We routinely took 50 horses on the road 3 weeks every month. The team work and village it takes to prepare that many horses and riders successfully is second to none! The camaraderie of the trainers, grooms, parents and riders was truly a highlight of my life.

After so many years on the road I got tired of all the travel and decided I needed to take a step back. I got a “real job” and moved to Arizona where I continued to ride and show my own horses for eight years. The “real job” became boring and sitting inside all day had never agreed with me so after the break and feeling refreshed I joined my family in Texas. Once settled in McKinney I began riding and teaching at some barns in the Dallas area.

I’m very excited to join the Whitehedge team and to get to know all my new two and four legged friends!

Congratulations to our student Lili Castresana on the purchase of her pony Divide’s Fantasia “Maddie”!
We are so thankful for Whitehedge Farm, LLC to be a part of her journey !!
Thank you to Jordan Mallard for the opportunity to have this wonderful pony in our barn!

***Reposted from her mom, Jeannine Castrasana :

A little under a year ago we fell in love with the most amazing pony! We began our journey with Maddie as a one year lease and decided to keep her FOREVER! Thank you to Granny & Pau for helping us purchase Maddie.

We’ve seen Lili grow tremendously since she started riding Maddie. These two are the perfect pair - mostly sweet with a side of sass! They work incredibly well together and are going to be lifelong pals.

Lili aspires to be the “best rider in the world” and with her determination I’m pretty sure we’re going to see some big arenas in our future.

Thank you to Whitehedge Farm, LLC for helping us find Maddie and providing amazing support to Lili in and out of the ring. We are so happy to have such a great barn to call home!

Could go either the Hunter or Equitation route, great lead change. Will do the 3’6 easily. Brave to the jumps. He is still green so will flourish in a good professional program and he would be great for a good riding Junior to bring along! Full set good X-rays available! Mid- upper 5’s.
