Denise Wilson

Denise started riding American Saddlebreds at age 6, and switched to Hunter/Jumpers when she was 10. Training with Nora and Morgan Thomas, she had a successful junior career with significant wins in the pony, children’s, and junior hunter divisions, as well as success in the equitation divisions. In 2005 Denise began to focus exclusively on Jumpers, working with professional Wilhelm Genn. She is now a top Grand Prix competitor on the national circuit.  In September of 2014 she was ranked 24th on the USEF Rolex Showjumping List, and in 2015 represented the United States at the Nation’s Cup competition in Lisbon, Portugal.

Denise uses her exceptional eye for talent to pick out horses of all ages in Europe. Her intense interest in bloodlines has helped her family's breeding program to produce and train top quality Warmblood horses in Wisconsin for American riders.
