ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Jennifer has had a lifelong passion for horses and brings over 40 years of experience across a variety of disciplines. Her background is in both English and Western riding, including pleasure and equitation, performance horses, reining, ranch horse, cow work such as sorting and penning, trail and range riding, dressage, hunt seat, saddle seat, jumping, gaming patterns, showmanship, halter, cart driving, and overnight camping trips with horses.

In addition to riding, horse training, teaching lessons, judging, and competition experience, Jennifer has extensive knowledge of horse care and high-quality animal husbandry. This includes habitats that promote mental and physical wellbeing, nutritional balance, and overall care. Her teaching approach focuses on safety, confidence, and helping riders build a respectful connection with horses in a calm and supportive environment.

Jennifer also has a background in biology, psychology, and animal behavior, which she incorporates into her teaching style to help riders feel calm, confident, and connected with the horses and their environment.

Because our program is intentionally small, each rider receives individualized attention and the opportunity to learn at their own pace.

Lessons take place in a quiet family farm setting surrounded by horses, mountains, gardens, and other farm animals.
