Felice

The Chairwoman of the HDHC is Felice Smith De Moreno. Felice is a Southern California native by birth and at the ago of 8, she worked for the Sunset Ranch Smith family back when a few original hardened cowboys could still be found around Los Angeles. After college she became a self-made millionaire as a software programmer, and currently consults around the globe for a top IT Company.

Felice can be seen as the lead "Stuntwoman Doll" on the rescued paint horse Sugar, owned by JD Crowley, in the HDHC's short film "Out On Trail".

Felice and her husband Dairo live footsteps away from the world famous Hollywood Sign and the incredible horse trails of Griffith Park. They own Angel, the Mama Dog, Pixie, one of the pups sired by the legend himself, Crow the Ranch Dog, and a little rescued pup named Chimichurria.

Felice’s family owns a thoroughbred brood mare named “Ruby Tuesday”, and can’t wait to have another horse boarded locally for her to love and ride and share with her new husband Diaro and her new extended family from New York to Colombia.



The entire HDHC shares with Felice, the treasured memories of 27 year old quarter horse “Stinger”, a whirlwind of an animal who always fancied himself and let all others know he was a force to be reckoned with. We miss him dearly.
