Horseshow Mom shares the joy in the journey- Meet Danielle Beauchamp
I grew up in Ontario, Canada and showed as a youth at the Eastern Ontario Quarter Horse Association shows. That was the 1980's when you showed to one judge a day and all the classes. We showed eight classes in one day with multiple tack changes. I sold my horse in my senior year of high school, went to University and went on to become a high school Biology and Chemistry teacher. I got married, we moved to the United States in 2000 and had four children. I didn't ride for 20 years.
