About

I'm Jacqui, and horses are my passion. I find fulfillment in both dressage and showjumping, competing with a team of four horses. My journey in horse riding is marked by continuous learning, seeking ways to better educate both my horses and students according to their unique needs.

Competitions serve as a valuable progress report for me, offering insight into the development of my equine partners and setting tangible goals for our training. While I don't pressure anyone to compete, it's an aspect of horsemanship that I enjoy. Ultimately, my aspiration is to excel as a Grand Prix dressage rider and showjumper simultaneously.

Currently, I'm proud to share that Converse is making strides in 1.30 showjumping, while Django is mastering the FEI dressage movements, competing at the medium level. I firmly believe in the advantages of mastering both disciplines, particularly as it allows me to enrich my teaching and give back to my students.

My philosophy centers on riding with suppleness and balance, striving for a harmonious connection with the horse through clear and simple aids. By teaching horses to be loose and balanced in their bodies, they can find relaxation and perform their tasks with ease and harmony
