⭐26 year old Irish Thoroughbred, 10 years giving lessons at Bel Canto
🥕Favorite Treat: Carrots or peppermints
😊If he were a famous person, he would be: Barack Obama
✅Danny is no drama and diligently does his job. He requires a bit of leg to motivate but has one of the best canters on the planet. At 26, he is starting to step down from supporting the taller riders. He's been a fan favorite amongst the littles in our program. He gives them a great first canter experience and loves all the attention. Danny has taught many riders over the years with much patience. He deserves to be honored.
