Training
Celebrity Ranch offers a complete horse and rider training
program. The ranch also offers beginner to intermediate lesson
packages, camps, fun days and workshops. Our focus is on
safety, good sportsmanship and building confidence while using
creativity in the partnership with the horse. Additional services
include shopping for your dream horse within your budget,
show horse fitting and coaching at horse shows.

With over 30 years handling, riding, and showing horses,
Danielle Miller has competed in everything from gymkhana to
jumping, from local shows to breed shows and A circuit
hunters. She started training horses in her early teens and
lessoned under many trainers in Ohio including A-circuit judge
Nancy Reider. Danielle completed 10 years of 4-H horse club in
Lake County, Ohio and had many years of involvement as an
instructor to Pony Clubs.

In 2004 Danielle discovered a whole new dynamic in
horsemanship when her horse was rendered unrideable by
traditional training standards and had the opportunity to take
that mare to Pat Parelli. She has been studying Pat's methods
ever since. She is also in the process of completing her
bachelor's degree in equine science. Danielle currently exhibits
horses in local competitions at halter as well as in hunt seat,
western performance, ranch competitions and trail riding.
