Meet Free Ride Sponsored Rider Daniella Gascoigne
Hi, I'm Dani! I'm currently based at Chestnut Hill Farm out of Ocala, Florida. I am a professional rider and UKCC Level 2 Coach, currently with two horses, shilling a third one over from Europe with the chance of two more coming by the year end.
What’s an important lesson you've learned from horses?
Honestly, just follow your passion. It’s a very humbling sport, but also I feel so lucky to pursue this at my career. Lastly, don’t loose sight of why you do this sport. For me, it is for the love for the animals and the sport.
Who inspires you to push further, show up more, and to keep striving to the next level?
My parents!!! They for sure push me with my business and in riding. I of course also have certain riders that I look up to as well.
If you weren't a professional rider, what would you do?
If I wasn't a Pro, I'd still be in the amateur classes. If I wasn't in horses at all, I would've continued playing soccer.
What are your Favorite Free Ride Pieces?
I love everything because they're comfortable, and stretch with every stride. My favorite are the Lux Breeches and the Pro Breeches because they are super flattering and contour. And not to forget, everything washes so well!
