~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Danibeck stud was formed in 2001 by Traci Howdle and is based in Kirk Smeaton, Nr Pontefract, West Yorkshire. The name being derived from my two daughters Danielle and Rebecca.

My love of horses started at a young age, coming from a farming background, I grew up with them within the family breeding and breaking them ourselves; progressing to breaking and schooling show ponies for my children, and building up a large and successful Livery and hunting yard, along with a Rug Cleaning Business, for the last seven years I have successfully produced ponies for Charlotte Dacre-Genders, from Lead rein to our most recent acquisition ESCADA – Top Class Intermediate Show Hunter.

I made the decision to keep some of the mares when charlotte came out of class, to successfully breed another generation of top class children’s riding/show hunter ponies, with exceptional conformation, temperament and manners.

One of these being the very well known first ridden pony WHINFELL FAIRYTALE, who has taken many a child into top class showing and being highly placed in her career with many wins and championships at both Royal International Horse Show, and the prestigious Horse of the Year Show.
