With over 20 years of experience training and in the show pen across multiple disciplines I am here to help you and your horse succeed in any direction.
Beginning as an all-around youth rider I eventually gravitated towards two distinct and seemingly opposite disciplines, dressage and versatility ranch horse. While studying equine science at LCCC, I competed on the schools ranch horse team, which sparked my love for a good working ranch horse. With a background in dressage fundamentals, I now seek to combine the strengths of both disciplines to sculpt a truly rounded and versatile horse.
Meet The Trainer, Jessica Ferro.
My Philosophy
I believe that classical dressage, with hundreds of years of refinement, has much to offer the modern day western horse and rider. The horse benefits from gymnastic and strengthening exercises while the rider learns to efficiently use their body to better assist the horse. By properly conditioning our western horses we can set them up for faster spins, tighter rollbacks, and harder stops all while maintaining healthy joints, allowing us to enjoy our equine partners for years to come.
