(Here's a picture of Denise and one of her Arabian horses, SUGAR)
Denise grew up on a
100 acre farm in
Hunterdon County,NJ.
She started riding at age 2 and started showing at age 3.
Denise rode up until age 17, and then work took too much time. She vowed someday to return to riding......

.....After an accident in 1989
left her with
temporary paralysis
from 2 herniated discs
in her lower back,
Denise was told
she'd never ride a horse again.
With drive and determination
and her love of horses,
she bought a horse.
Not only is she still riding
with those herniated discs...
she still has THAT horse.
He is an Arabian,
named "Hye Society".
(You can read the un-edited
version of the story about
Hye Society and Denise...
go to STORIES & Links page)
"With his thundering hooves
under me, I learned how to fly...
And today I continue to soar."
