Vixen Hollow is thrilled to announce a fall clinic with Daryl Kinney.
About Daryl: Daryl Kinney is an accomplished international eventer who has built a successful career training horses from unbroke to Advanced level through patient, systematic methods focused on education and confidence-building. After earning her USDF Bronze Medal and spending ten years working with famed eventer Denny Emerson at Tamarack Hill Farm, Kinney established her own training business in North Carolina three years ago and has become a sought-after clinician nationwide. Her teaching philosophy emphasizes positive experiences, clear communication, and providing students with practical knowledge they can apply independently. Kinney credits her success to diligence, patience, and thoroughly learning a complete system of horsemanship before striking out on her own. She values continuous learning and believes that dedication and perseverance are essential in the equestrian world, noting that “if you don’t try, you guarantee you won’t” succeed in the industry.
