“ Dannee is incredibly confident in her work. She’s earned that confidence by being absolutely amazing at what she does. We started taking lessons from her and got to know her better. Soon we had developed a really great friendship with her, which merged into owning a couple of horses together, becoming business partners, and then when I built our farm in Kennard, we were able to offer her a place where she could run her own business. Our friendship and partnership kept growing through that time, but I would say she doesn’t have a single client she doesn’t have this kind of relationship with. She considers them all friends. She always puts the horse first, and that’s not always the case in our industry. The horse’s health, well-being, and happiness all come first to her. She makes sure every horse gets undivided attention and the highest level of care, but she also makes sure that they are turned out daily and that they get time to just be a horse. Dannee notices everything about each animal. The tiniest bit of swelling, she’ll catch it immediately and want to know where it came from. he knows each client, each relationship, each animal, and she tailors everything about her work to meet the needs of that day.
