Dawn Kittel, co-owner and manager of Isabella Farms, has been an avid horse rider for over 20 years. Dawn would never have gotten into this sport if it had not been for having a wonderful and devoted mother and she would not be where she is today.

Growing up, Dawn rode any and all types of horses just to ride them. She rode all different disciplines such as Hunter / Jumper and Dressage. She needed the experience and the challenge of different horses to teach her how to adjust to a horse's personality.

Once she was at an older age, she realized one of her passions was for 3-Day Eventing. This extreme sport kept her thinking and motivated. Dawn travels all over the U.S.A. competing in shows at the F.E.I. levels and hopes to compete for the U.S.A. one day.

Her other passion is for Dressage. She loves the elegance and feeling of this discipline. She loves to train and ride at all levels of dressage.

Dawn has trained with many of the greats including Phillip Dutton, Mara Dean, Boyd Martin, Cesar Parra, Betsy Steiner, Shannon Dueck, Rudolf Rostek of the Spanish Riding School, and many others. She takes what she learns from each to teach others and herself to become a better rider.

Dawn took over Isabella Farms as manager and co-owner early in 2005. Since that time, she has been very devoted to keeping Isabella Farms just as perfect as it's always been.

She loves working there and spending her time with all the horses and their owners because she finds comfort there. She feels Isabella Farms is just one big family.

She is so honored to be apart of a place like this and so proud of her mother for building such a beautiful facility. "Nobody could have done a better job!"
