RIP Len Danielson of North Run Farm in MN

Sad news from MN this morning.

It is with broken hearts and great sadness, that we want to let everyone in the horse community know that we have lost a long time horseman and friend.

On October 8th, Len suffered a cardiac event and had been on life support. It was found that Len had suffered neurologic damage from lack of oxygen and the decision was made to take him off life support.

Len, and his loving wife Jackie have been instrumental in developing riders and horses for many years. His wealth of knowledge and experience in many areas of the horse industry have impacted many.

While we know Jackie is a woman of strength, in this time of sorrow, we ask for your continued support, and prayers for her, and the North Run Farm family.

We will post more information in the following days to come. But we would love to see posts of your memories and condolences on Len’s page or the North Run Farm page for Jackie and everyone to reflect upon.

Let us all remember Len’s voice that announced so many events, and coached so many of us, with an eloquence, wit and humor, that was accompanied always with a twinkle in his eye.

God Speed Len!

He will be greatly missed

Oh dear, that is very sad.

Yeah…he was one of those solid, kind guys who really supported the local horse community for H/J, dressage and eventing. He and his wife. For a time, I think they were the only ones doing schooling shows in the area. Especially in H/J world it’s getting harder and harder to find a true “entry level” into the sport. RIP

Very sad to hear this news. Just a wonderful person! A real loss.

Condolences to his family.
