Miss Livermore Rodeo

Isabella Macchioni

My love for horses began at the age of four years old when I took my first pony ride at the Alameda County Fair. My passion for horses flourished when I leased my first horse, Miss Texas, in middle school. She helped me build my confidence in my riding to then allow me to purchase my current horse, Danatelo, also known as Dano. Dano is a 15 year old Hanoverian gelding. Through my 17 years of riding Dano had been the exceptional horse that has not only been my partner in many championship rides but a a horse who has helped guide me to be who I am today.  When leasing my first horse Miss Texas, I began competing in equitation and dressage classes. As my love for showing grew, and I became the proud owner of Dano, I was able to start learning more about dressage and start competing at higher levels. Together Dano and I have been the 2016 United StatesDressage Federation Region 7 Junior/Young Rider Second level Champion and the 2016 Northern California Dressage Society 18-21 Second level champion, among various other championships and awards.
