Brydelle Farm, located in Gloucester County on Virginia's Middle Peninsula, is a small, private farm that instructs, trains, and sells hunter-jumper horses.

It has been Danielle’s lifelong dream to have a competitive training farm. She, along with her supportive and handy husband, Bryan, bought a small horse farm in Gloucester County Virginia after their marriage in the fall of 2000. At that time, it was an aging farm in need of lots of TLC. While necessary repairs began immediately, renovations have slowly continued, and they are looking forward to continuing the improvement process over the months and years to come.
Danielle and Bryan live at Brydelle Farm which, along with the small nature of the operation, allows for consistent and personalized care and management of each horse. Danielle’s knowledge of horses is extensive and far-reaching. She grew up on a very successful breeding farm, and was exposed to mare, foal, and stallion management from a very early age. She began formal dressage lessons as an early teen, and then moved onto hunter lessons under

the instruction of two successful Virginia trainers. She rode competitively as a catch rider, quickly becoming known for riding unruly and/or green horses; many times showing sales horses as they came off of trailers with minimal warm up time. While obtaining her bachelors degree in chemistry and biochemistry at North Carolina State University, she rode on the intercollegiate team as a freshman, and began building an impressive and loyal clientele of horses and riders. Her students have won on the local, rated, intercollegiate and national level, most notably, two youth national champions in 1998. Danielle has not only continued to gain knowledge in riding, training and instructional techniques, she has also continued her academic education. Danielle graduated in
		December 2003 with a degree in Veterinary Technology, passed her national examination boards, and received her Veterinary Technician License from the Commonwealth of Virginia in June 2004 . She has an extensive background in veterinary medicine, including working at the NC State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Virology and Cardiology as well as at a private specialty practice for Internal Medicine. Danielle is currently employed at a private parctice for Cardiology. She has also been a guest speaker at the American

College of Veterinary Internal Medicine in 2007, 2008, and 2010.

Danielle and Bryan have spent several years focusing on establishing and renovating the farm, most recently replacing all the fencing and cross fencing on the farm as well as having the ring professionally overhauled. Danielle has also been building new professional and client relationships that will ensure the future of her farm.

Danielle continues her education as a trainer, instructor and rider by attending annual clinics with George Morris, as well as other top professional such as Greg Best, Katie Monahan Prudent and Frank Madden, to name a few. Danielle also participated in the USHJA Trainers Symposium at SCAD in Georgia in May 2009, as she is planning to enroll in their certified trainers program.

In 2006, Danielle started judging local hunter/jumper shows in Virginia. Since that time, she has had the opportunity to judge in Maryland, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania. In May of 2010 she attended the 2010 USEF Judges Clinic at Kentucky Horse Park. She hopes to start the long and arduous process of becoming a USEF sanctioned judge in a few year's time.
