Denali was born and raised in Central Oregon. She grew up riding horses, cross country skiing and playing soccer. Despite growing up in a family that knew nothing about horses, she managed to become surrounded by horses, both professionally and personally.

She started riding lessons and showing when she was four, and then started competing in the hunter jumper and equation classes in middle school.

In 2013, she started her first business training horses and teaching lessons, and graduated from Redmond Proficiency Academy shortly after. Her senior year, she started her rookie year in professional rodeo, competitively barrel racing.

Following her passion of helping and assisting horses heal, Denali started her second business in 2018. DLH Equine Services allows Denali to specialize in conditioning and recovery from injuries with a Class 4 laser therapy, PEMF, and specialize in equine nutrition. Her passion for equine nutrition can be attributed to her past horse Callie, who struggled after her PSSM1 diagnosis. Finding success in Complete Equine Performance supplements, Denali became the Oregon distributor, where she enjoys helping horse owners find the best nutritional programs for their horses.

She graduated from Equine Studies Institute in spring of 2024, with a 4.0 GPA, and with a Professional Horse Trainer Certification and Professional Riding Instructor Certification. She has other certifications that include but not limited too; Bits, Saddle Fitting and Hoof Balance, Conformation and Selection for Performance, Health and Disease Management, Stable Management, Training Performance Horses, Understanding Equine Behavior, Riding Instructor Role and Responsibility, Riding Instructor Teaching Techniques, and Nutrition for Maximum Performance.

Denali is also the Summit High School OHSET Coach, manages multiple businesses social media accounts, and can be found helping her vet, Dr. Tyler Newton of Tumalo Ridge Equine in the field.
