JennMarie Equestrian Teaching self-exploration through symbiotic, compassionate relationships with horses. Hi there! Thanks for stopping by!

I have been into Equestrian matters for over 20 years, my background is in Dressage, Ranch Riding and Liberty. My influencers are Luke Gingerich and Warrick Schiller, well established and highly talented horsemen. I do what I do for my horses sake, always looking to relationship building, unity and willingness instead of force. I follow behavior chain formulas used in operant conditioning and I am for positive reinforcement as well as using correction.

Anticipating Spring's arrival... Meanwhile, Winter offers a chance to relax and enjoy quality time with our magnificent horses. I've been delighting in the affectionate moments and dreaming of our upcoming adventures.

What a year, 2024! So many hours training client horses and showing western dressage with Orbit, getting my dream Lusitano (and consuming lots of EspanaSilk Grooming Products whitening shampoo), watching my heart horse Vega give birth to her filly Siri, and teaching driving to Perrin and the mini horses. Rich with memories, i'm ready to usher in another year of horse fun! Welcome 2025~

If I bear joy, peace and love, they are fruits of the Spirit of a loving God who lives in me. The horses guide me to him every day, he can be found anywhere for the temple curtain was torn by the sacrifice of Christ, and he resides in us as we ask...

I love the reality of Christ shining into us, and the Christmas meaning of the light being shown into the great darkness.

It's very snowy out ☃️ but your horse is still hoping for connection with you... ❤️

Five minutes a day can still improve your relationship with your horse.

Winter is a great time to teach the sit (use haybales) or lay down (soft snow) or the hug. Five minutes a day ❄️

Here's a summer picture to keep your hopes high 😊

🙏🏻One of those places where you come to with a need, and leave with something that you didn't know you needed…

This is one of the best descriptions among many, of Warwick Schiller's Attuned Horsemanship and Warwick and Robyn Schiller's new retreat center.

Spending some time with both of these wonderful people who have a heart for healing and helping, gave new air under my wings. 🪽 I highly recommend subscribing, following, and joining in on an experience in person with them, whether it be a retreat, or a summit, there's always more to learn and these folks are on the right path when it comes to enjoying the journey...

Ready for the suprise? Here it is...

I fell in love with Lusitanos long ago... riding imported horses with a dressage trainer I worked for. I met a Lusitano stallion in CA once, I always remembered him, and now found his daughter for sale, unstarted and ready for a new adventure... a dream come true!! I love her personality ☀️ Welcome Aurora! (Recandesca LMC)

The farm I got her from raises young warmblood horses to training age with love and basics, Veronique Dumas made the process so easy! Thank you again!

Really wonderful time at the Liberty Festival 2024!!

Orbit did well and got a Champion in Ba****ck Bridleless and a reserve Champion in Bridleless.

Moxie got to be at her 3rd outing this year and represented in my presentation 'Liberty Training the Miniature horse'

I presented two other times in classrooms on the psychology of the horse and learning. This was a stretch for me but I really enjoyed sharing more about the the topics that can revolutionize how we work with our animals in a relationship based method ❤️

Proud of Victoria Nowak and the hard work she put in, she received all firsts and then a reserve champion for the championship freestyle!!

It was great to have so many friends to help, Madison Dunn and Kelsie Damber held the fort down at the booth where we sold artwork and horse training tools, a huge thanks to Emmaleah McCullick for coming down to visit and help and it was great to see Michael Simcoe, my friend I got Moxie from!

Overall a huge success, it takes a lot of preparation to pull off an event like this and I am so impressed by the organization in the passion of the people that run it . Dan and Elizabeth James, Ben Atkinson and so many others are such an inspiration in their humbleness and horsemanship.

Orbit and I had a good run this year trying Western Dressage, we entered the international online challenge earlier this year and recieved a top 10 ten award.

He is not very naturally inclined to this discipline but it was a good stretch for both of us to give level 2 a go. I'm proud of the effort he gave me and the feedback we got from judges will be invaluable for future learning. Thank you to my wonderful boyfriend Zach Tolan for filming for me!

Horses are your mirror

The more we learn to listen, the better the horse will listen to us. I am passionate about sharing the love of relationship based horsemanship, I have been working with animals my whole life and I am constantly learning. Come join my journey as I share the successes of my own discoveries along with trainers I follow and products I endorse. Love the horse first!
