Cheyenne is currently living in Longmont, Colorado with her husband Josh and their two children. Cheyenne and Josh welcomed their baby girl in February of 2021, and welcomed their baby boy in March of 2023. Cheyenne is a part of the Colorado Stars and Stripes, a flag team that presents the colors and runs sponsor flags for rodeos and other events. Cheyenne is an equine dentist, and host of our podcast.

Cheyenne grew up in Santa Clarita, California, and started her riding career and love for horses in the California Rangers program. The program is a military based drill team association that teaches respect, responsibility, and accountability. Cheyenne moved to Colorado after high school, and attended Equine Dental School where she met her would be husband Josh. Cheyenne still returns to the dental school to teach aspiring equine dentists.

About Danielle

It is so nice to see you here! My name is Danielle Heideman, and I am the Graphic Designer and Social Media Manager for the Women in Western Podcast!

Outside of the podcast I am the Office and Accounts Manger for a general contracting company, and teach horseback riding lessons. My passion is training young horses, and getting them the foundation for the best life and career possible.

My husband and I have 3 dogs, 2 horses, 4 goats, and a donkey. We currently don't have any children besides our 4 legged ones.

I was born and raised in Santa Clarita, California, and began riding summer camps at the age of 4. Cheyenne and I rode at the same barn for many years which is where I became best friends with her cousin and soon after that close friends with Cheyenne as well.

I hope you all enjoy the podcast as much as we do!
