"
Inspired Learning"

Jennifer has been teaching clients and horses for over 35 years, and is a multi-discipline equestrian (dressage and eventing are most prominent in her career). 


-I use a biomechanics technique (the Mary Wanless “Ride With Your Mind” system), and have been participating in Mary Wanless “Train the Trainer” programs and have hosted her clinics at my Minnesota farm and then Diamond Oaks Farm in Florida for over 15 years.


- I practice balance and communication to build trust and understanding between horse and rider. 


- I focus on bringing awareness of body alignment and weighting to create balance and harmony between the horse and rider.


- I am a horse advocate with respect and kindness towards the horse paramount, not at discord with the rider having to be firm and assert themselves in the training of the horse.

- I have trained over 1500 horses and riders.


- I have been given horses to train as a last resort for others that have considered the horse to be “untrainable” and turned the horse into a well-trained, calm and stable performer.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

What is Jen's teaching breadth and style?

My primary focus is relationship building and having FUN.

I work in a gentle patient style to build trust and confidence in my students and horses.

  • I enjoy giving students experiences they have never had before, trail rides to state or national parks, working cattle, cattle drives, schooling horse shows, recognized horse shows, carriage rides, ‘adventure road trips’, etc.

  • I am experienced in dressage through the I1, eventing through preliminary, show jumping, gymnastic training including cavaletti exercises, carriage driving singles and pairs, western dressage, ranch horse riding, trail riding, and obstacles. I have also recently added Cowboy Dressage to my portfolio. 

  • I want to give my students and clients the skills to make them confident to do

whatever they want with their horse and never question it in their mind.
