Danni Menzies personal life
Danni grew up deep in the Scottish countryside, and loves nothing more than getting her boots on and hiking the hills. It’s within this breath-taking scenery that Danni learned to drive, aged 10, in a car with no doors on the family’s estate! That experience lit the fuse and now she’s a bonafide petrolhead.
Her fierce competitive streak, also saw Danni on the winning team at the Scottish Equestrian Championships in show jumping and dressage. A keen equestrian and qualified riding instructor, Danni once found herself having to build her own stables after rescuing a number of horses bound for a meat factory in Hungary.
