"Jen has been my coach for the past seven years, and her teaching approach is anything but one-size-fits-all. She recognizes that every horse responds differently and consistently explores new methods to achieve optimal results. Her honest feedback during lessons has been instrumental in helping me become a better rider. Jen is adept at understanding the strengths and limitations of both horse and rider, tailoring her instruction to maximize their potential." ~ Renata P.V.
"Absolutely can't say enough about Jen's coaching. I have been doing lessons with her for the past year. It has been a night and day difference from where my mare and I started. Jen has been helping my mare and I achieve proper collection and lead changes. She teaches to always come from a place of relaxation and understanding which really works for us." ~ India S.
"I first met Jen in 2017 after working with many of the other Ontario trainers. I was struck immediately by how engaged she was in both what the horse was doing and what I was doing. I like how Jen is constantly learning too - she's humble and honest, and invested in her students and here I am still working with her and experiencing results almost 8 years later!" ~ Sharon J.
"Jen has the ability to quickly assess horse and rider and apply tried and true foundational methods to help you achieve your goals. She understands both the athleticism of your horse and you as a rider when building your training journey." ~ Lisa G
"Jen not only possesses the knowledge and the talent but she is also a great coach and instructor. In my years, I've ridden with many a talented rider, but few actually could effectively teach others. Jen is the whole package! Reining is a world that seemed foreign to me and thanks to Jen, I am gaining confidence. She is a true professional who is generous with knowledge. I'm so happy for the privilege of being one of her students." ~ Ellie R.
"Jen challenges her clients with realistic expectations and recognizes the potential and improvement of both rider and horse. Wherever you are starting from, beginner or more advanced... across disciplines, Jen will help you achieve the next level. It is SO important to note that BOTH the horse and the rider are addressed in her lessons." ~ Jane F.
"I've known Jen for about 8 years & did a few lessons & clinics with her previously, but she's been coaching me steadily since November 2022. I appreciate Jen's encouragement to "ride by feel", to embrace our mistakes as learning opportunities & to work through them to get positive results." ~ Lisa M
"Jen has been my coach for approximately 10 years. She pushes me to be the best rider I can be and teaches in an effective way. She makes it easy to understand the exercises that we do in lessons. She breaks down the manoeuvres step by step. "

"I've worked with Jen for over 7 years. I started with her when I was fairly new to the horse-world. In my time, I have tried various different western disciplines and have always come back to Jen for coaching. Although she specializes in reining and ranch riding, I have found that her coaching is transferable to all disciplines given her commitment to horsemanship."
~ Rachel M.
"I have worked with Jen in the past, and now recently have started taking my young horse for lessons. Jen quickly defined the gaps in our foundation training and had us addressing them on day one. In just a few lessons, we've seen improvements! Jens coaching style is calm and patient, yet firm and straightforward." ~ Sarah R.
"I have worked with Jen for seven years with two horses and very different goals. Jen takes the time to listen to your goals and assess where you are and how you need to move forward. Jen has an amazing attention to detail. When you are in a lesson, she is focused on you and ready to reward successes and encourage through challenges. She has an ability to make sure both the student and the horse finish on a positive note - whether it was a small or a large achievement, you leave the lesson feeling good. Jen has been flexible to change her lesson program as students and opportunities evolve." ~ Anne L.
"Jen's passion for reining inspires and encourages. I have learned, its a journey of learning not a destination." ~ Karen M.
"We have only been riding with Jen for a few short months, but I wish we had found her earlier. In the short time we have been riding with her, I have noticed huge improvements in both my own and my boyfriends positions and the way our horses are going under saddle. She has a clear and direct way of teaching which I truly appreciate." ~ Amanda A.
