Daniel Wildin

Daniel joined the Heart T Ranch training staff in 1998. Raised in Billings, Montana, Daniel grew up loving all animals. He graduated from Montana State University - Bozeman in 2001 with a degree in Animal Science. His knowledge of equine nutrition and breeding are irreplaceable to the health program at Heart T Ranch. Daniel is a gifted trainer, specializing in the development of young horses in Western and English disciplines. Many of our clients have commented on his “limitless amount of patience” with young horses! Though he specializes in developing young horses, he has also had a great deal of success in the show ring. In 2001, Daniel won Three National Championships at the Andalusian World Show – Trail, Western Pleasure, and Doma Vaquera Basico. In 2009, Daniel and Dual Exhaust Kit were 10th in the nation for AQHA Jr. Versatility Ranch Horse. He has won numerous state awards in various working western events. Daniel is specializing in the working cow events, though we can still count on him to put a great foundation on our English horses as well! Daniel is an outstanding farrier, having apprenticed with Tony Yost for 7 years. He has experience in shoeing all types of performance horses, as well as corrective work. When not showing and training horses, Daniel is an avid bow hunter!
