Young horse, trail and pleasure horse training, breeding show training, and problem horse training. Wild Rose Icelandic Horse Farm is a picturesque farm located near the Rocky Mountains of Alberta Canada. We offer a variety of services including starting and training of young horses, training and showing of breeding horses, trail riding training, mountain riding training, gait training, and proble
m solving training with horses that have become difficult due to pain issues or human error. We also offer horse sales, lessons and do clinics on a limited basis. The main focus of the training here for young horses and trail horses is to encourage a people loving and trusting partner that trys to please it's rider, that trusts it's rider and has experience with many of the usual hazards in everyday life. For the show horses our main goals are to train horses that show to their best capabilities with large supple steps, high lift and lots of speed and strength while still remaining soft and light on the bit, solid in their dressage work and rideable by their owners. We do not push the horses past the point of ruining them like many trainers. We firmly believe that building up the horse properly is the key to their best performance. Danielle Fulsher(Walton) and Kyle Walton run this beautiful farm in Alberta. Kyle is the man behind the scenes for everything from fixing and maintaining the trucks to helping with the horses and maintaining the farm. Danielle who is the farm manager and head trainer, has been riding consistently since 1985 and started training Icelandic horses professionally in 1998. Since then she has trained horses all over Canada, in the US and has recently returned from a 3 year stay in Iceland. While in Iceland, Danielle worked with numerous FT trainers and had the opportunity to work with and train for some of the very top riders and Landsmot winners. She has extensive experience working with young horses and problem horses using patience and calming positive methods. A trainer in Iceland nick named her 'the Canadian horse whisperer' because of her ability to settle and befriend untouched wild horses in a very short period of time. She has also ridden many horses in breeding shows and competitions in Iceland and Canada. In 2001, Danielle trained and rode Erill fra Sperdi to the first prize status of 8.13 which set the record as the first North American trainer to train an Icelandic horse to first prize status. As well in 2015 Danielle trained Blika 08 fra Fitjamyri to first prize status with 8.42 for ridden abilities. Blika is now one of the highest scored domestic bred horses in Canada. Blika also has the second highest score for ridden abilities in North America. Danielle was also the chosen rider to represent Blika at the 2015 World Championships in Herning Denmark for team Canada in the 7 year old + breeding mares class and five gait. In 2006 while training horses in Iceland, Danielle won the intermediate four gait finals at Islandsmot on a 5 year old five gaited problem horse who 3 months before had no lift, pacy tolt and bolted and bucked with his riders. 3 months of loosening up and problem solving his people hating issues created a talented five gaited competition horse that loved to work and loved people. This added on to a list of many other achievements. Not only in competition, but also with young or "problem horses". Danielle is a certified Badge Program Level 1 and 2 and was also on the Canadian Icelandic Horse Federation Board of Directors.
