My goaI is to move up to walk/trot poles and to learn how to back up my pony well. I have been riding for six years and I have been a member of the VHF team for 5 months.

Introducing Jillian!

“Hi! My name is Jillian Hectus and I am 11 years old. I have been doing riding lessons since I was 5. We have a horse at home and I ride Hunter jumper. I am leasing VHF Flashy Romeo who is a palomino quarter horse. He is very sweet, consistent and has taught me so much.

I attended Vento Hills summer camp and I loved it. I was so hooked I started in Julianna's lesson program a month later.

My short term goal is to complete in short stirrups/ 2 foot and ride show ponies before I am too big.

My long term goal would be to show 2'3" then 2'6". I would also eventually like to own my own horse or pony again.

Julianna has created great opportunities for my riding goals and my riding future. I am so happy to be a part of the team. I have also met so many great friends since riding at VHF.”

I half-lease an awesome mustang named Vegas, and I love riding her and spending time with her at the barn. She's my dad's favorite horse too. I enjoy going to shows to test my skills and to cheer on my barn buddies.”

Also I am really looking forward to next year’s show season!”

I am currently competing in the low child/adult 2’6 hunters and my goal is to continue to move up with Pharrell through the rest of my junior career. I have been riding for about eight years and I have been a member of the VHF team for a little over two years. Before coming to VHF I did eventing, but now I enjoy the hunters, equitation, and jumpers. VHF has provided so many amazing opportunities on and off the horse that help you improve day to day in your riding whether it’s the work you put in at home or at shows. VHF has been a very positive environment and Julianna wants to see you succeed just as much as you want to see yourself succeed and she is very good at helping you put the pieces of your riding together correctly for you and your horse. I am very happy to be apart of the VHF team!”
