Owner and Trainer: Julie Conner-Daniels


Julie Conner-Daniels has been an avid horse owner and lover her whole life.  Starting with her first horse when she was 11, Julie has been a life-long student of keeping and riding horses.

Though Julie’s entrance into the horse world was as a “backyard horse owner” – the transformation to an experienced owner and exhibitor has been taking place for many years. With fifteen years and thousands of hours of training, studying and riding experience under her belt, Julie is uniquely qualified to bring her perspective of riding and training to Atlasta.  Julie believes the basic fundamentals of balance and feel – the classic tenets of riding – are the foundation to a solid seat and great equitation.

Though Julie started her career in a different industry she has stayed very involved in the sport and business of horses.  Julie is currently on the board of the Los Angeles Horse Show Association (LAHSA)—a position she has maintained for the last seven years.  This has given her a strong insight into every aspect of showing and training.  As an adult amateur she has trained and shown since 1990.  She is an accomplished show rider with a long list of winning. 

Because of Julie’s experience as a rider she brings a unique and insightful perspective to the art of training horses and riders.  Julie truly understands what it takes to ride and show with all its frustrations and joys.  Julie will strive to create a positive and supportive environment to help all riders and horses achieve their full potential.  Her focus will always be on good riding and she firmly believes good riders make good horses.  Because of her experience Julie’s philosophy on training will be “A Positive Ride.”
