Gratitude - something that is deeply felt and appreciated in every moment that we spend with these incredible creatures.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU from Team Dynamic. The support of our loyal clients, staff, friends, sponsors, vets, farriers, coaches.. the list goes on and on. The community that surrounds us is strong and fierce, and it is with the support of this community that we are able to climb higher in effort to achieve our dreams.

But most importantly, Thank You to our Horses.
Every day is a privilege. Every day we are grateful.

Team Dynamic is searching for a hard working individual to join me in Florida from now until May 1.
Job details:
Groom & Manager for 12-15 dressage horses. I will list the daily duties but please know that I am an all hands on deck kind of person, and everything listed is done collaboratively in some capacity.
To Do: Feeding, turnout, help managing supplies and orders (just remind me to buy things before we run out), preparing horses for me to ride & caring for them afterwards, tack cleaning, night check… all of the normal duties needed to make a barn function. I have a daily stall cleaner but occasionally we need to pick in the afternoons. Sometimes we have to move hay. Sometimes we work 6am - 6pm. Sometimes we’re both tired from the day before and we quit at noon and go sit by the beach. I try to schedule a lunch break every day unless it’s just too chaotic.. but I will always respect you if you look at me and tell me you need a minute to breathe. I’m a very realistic person who believes in teamwork, and i don’t believe in torture. It’s just me, you, the stall cleaner, and the horses. The days can be long. But while the expectation of quality is high, the reality of being human is understood.
In return, I provide salary (W2), housing on site, 2 weeks paid time off, and the willingness and encouragement to help you achieve whatever goals you may have. I expect trustworthiness, efficiency, and a willingness to stay positive even on the hard days. This is a labor of love - we have to be a team to get the job done! Work weeks are 6 days, with the understanding that horses don’t have a time schedule and we do the things until the things are done. Also mentioning again that if we’ve had a hard day or things are just going to s**t.. i’m the first one to back off and say “we’ll try again tomorrow”. But some days we have to power through and i need someone strong willed who will power through with me.

No smoking and no dogs. If you have a horse and want to bring it down, we can chat if you’re the right person.

If this is something you or someone you know might be interested in, send me a message!

This is just the beginning… Living an actual Dream!!!

Dynamic Dressage has landed 🤍

Jorge Gabriel & Casa Lusitana

17/10/2024

FLORIDA. WE HAVE ARRIVED.

It has been the most insane, hellish 10 days. Having to euthanize my cat, the manure mountain at the farm catching fire, evacuating to a neighboring farm, moving the shipping dates to florida twice, packing my entire barn and house and life into my horse trailer in 48 hours, creating loopholes for getting paperwork done on a holiday no one remembered, not sleeping more than 2-3 hours over the course of days… then driving to florida with an impact wrench and a fire extinguisher in the passenger seat just because I knew nothing could possibly go right on the drive.

BUT! The horses made it safely. The humans made it safely. And I have the BEST clients, friends and support system that I think could ever exist.
We are currently stabled at Perfect Cadence Farm which is just a few doors down from our spot at Jorge Gabriel & Casa Lusitana, as the last finishing touches are made so that we can enjoy our time to the fullest! The horses are currently enjoying some rest time after the week of insanity - we are spending the week bathing and clipping everyone since we didn’t get to do that in VA before the chaos began.

We will hopefully be fully moved in and unpacked at Casa Lusitana by this time next week, and will shortly there after be ready to move past this challenging time of our lives! This coming season is going to be absolutely incredible; I have an A-List string of horses filling the barn with a waitlist, I am working on bringing some mighty fine clinicians over from time to time.. and more than that we will be having FUN!!!!

I cannot express enough gratitude for those who have lent a hand, sent a text, or made a call during this time. I was feeling quite pressed against my limits for a moment, but at no point did I ever feel alone in this, which is something incredibly special. The families we build in the equestrian community are some of the most loyal, supportive and strongest bonds that could exist.

Thank you.

!!!!A POST OF GRATITUDE!!!!

A few months ago, I somewhat spontaneously decided that Dynamic Dressage was going to spend 6 months in Florida for the coming winter season. I was feeling too comfortable with my scenery, so in true Jess fashion, I went ALL IN without blinking and was soon signing the lease on a farm that I have admired from a distance during all of my past seasons in Florida, because if you’re going to go for it, go for what you want, right?? My mentality of jumping high and figuring out the landed later is always fun and exciting until I’m making that last step off of the cliff’s edge.. “Uhhh… how the hell are you going to fill this barn? Did you have to commit for so long?? Can you actually make this work??” The safety net in VA that I was detaching myself from in very rip-the-bandaid-off style tempting me to reconsider my decision to jump. But - I know myself. I know that when I make these big decisions that some may call risky, that I can put full faith in my judgment and gut instincts, and can rely on my internal track record of being able to come up with a Plan B, C, D, E in record timing when necessary.

WELL - I am so proud to say that, as of yesterday, a full month before our arrival to the stunning Casa Lusitana, that EVERY STALL is considered FULL for the entire 6 months. And everything else is completely ready to go in advance so we can hit the ground running on Nov 1 - contracts signed, supplies ordered, deliveries scheduled, everything possible paid for in advance… it’s all DONE. With 4 beautiful weeks to spare.

While some of you may be reading this and thinking, “yeah, so what, you’re just doing what a professional does”. Totally - I hear you. I’m technically not fulfilling any task outside of my normal roles and responsibilities as a professional. But, I am so PROUD of the business that I’m growing, the reputation that I’ve built that has filled 15 stalls for 6 months in f**king Florida with zero advertising, wellllllll before season starts… I am GRATEFUL for everyone standing on my side and am PROUD of the work I’m putting in and the fundamentals and integrity that I’m standing firmly on as I do so. I am so accustomed to getting s**t done and then running to the next task, because that’s how I function, but sometimes it’s nice to stop and take a look around!! I am 28 years old, I started this journey of relentless dream chasing with literally zero dollars, but a hell of lot of determination and faith in my gut, and while life can change in an instant and I do not feel the least bit entitled to success or immune from failure.. at this moment I am so proud of my hard work, my integrity, and my uncompromising ethics and values that have brought me the best clients, sponsors, and friends who are so supportive of these leaps of faith that I make. I am humbled and completely full of gratitude for those around me who give me a smile or a thumbs up as I keep forging down this path. I’ve said it before but know that I SEE all of the support and encouragement and kindness from EVERY individual, and it baffles and humbles me. I do not feel one ounce of entitlement to anyone’s kindness or acknowledgment, so when I receive it, I am beyond thankful and moved.

A mega THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! Again and again and again. And then one more time.

Let’s ‘Av It!!!!!!!

Dynamic Dressage is proud to announce the collaboration with Lisa Wallace and Dressage Sport Boot 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Lisa founded the company and the design for DSB nearly 25 years ago, and I have been a loyal user and abuser of every form of DSBs and ASBs for nearly a decade! I am looking forward to a more intimate partnership with Lisa and DSB, and to continue supporting a product that I actually trust and use daily! AND it’s a woman owned and operated company based here in USA????? How does it get any better?!?!?

CONGRATULATIONS to the new owners of Kartouche!!! Another horse sold to the first people to come try him, this one-in-a-million guy is going to the best home with a lovely family, and I am so excited to watch their journey together! 💜

And that’s a WRAP on Dynamic Dressage’s sales out of Virginia for 2024! More top quality horses to become available soon, but you’ll have to visit them at our Florida location (bummer i know! 🤣).

Big things happening for Dynamic Dressage…

2024 has been quite the year for change and growth! Both on a personal level and for my business. I am so grateful for the good things, and am equally as grateful for the challenges. I feel that I have grown this year as a person, a friend, a horseman, a rider, a businesswoman….. more so than ever before. I have learned to hold tight to my truths, stand tall for my ethics, my morals, and to hold my integrity to the highest standards. I am proud of what I have built, and am so grateful for the relationships I have formed with dear friends who have become family, who are supportive and encouraging of me chasing my dreams. My circle may have gotten smaller during this time, but there is nothing but strength and support within it. The people around me now are some of the most badass humans I’ve ever known, and I respect and appreciate each of them so much.

With that said! The decision has been made and the plans are in action for me to move my business to Florida for (at least) 6 months, starting in November. I will spend that time dedicating myself to my horses, my clients, my education, and my mental wellbeing. I don’t have big competition aspirations for this go around, my main focus will be training and learning and improving every day. I am so excited that I have secured a fantastic facility just outside of Wellington for this project. Situated on 11 acres with 15 stalls, two arenas and housing on site, I am looking forward to a private, drama free season where all of the horses and humans can thrive in a supportive environment.
At this time I have no plans in place regarding next spring. I hope to return to Northern VA, as this area has become a wonderful home for me and I love the community. But that is all TBD! I am letting myself have the freedom to be able to consider any and all opportunities that may arise between now and then!

THANK YOU to every single person who has ever given me their support. I cannot express the immense gratitude that I feel to anyone who would want to cheer me on, just a feisty little horse girl from the middle of nowhere with a big dream and an inability to take “no” for an answer…. but it is that support and encouragement (and stubbornness) that has created this idea that the dream might be possible.

Let’s Do This 😎

CONGRATULATIONS to Jennifer and her debut today at Morven Park with the red dragon, Chili!!! Earning a blue ribbon in their first test together, presenting a confident performance and great riding. We can’t wait to continue cheering you on!

The youngstock we’re breeding these days is just getting out of control. This 3 year old that I’ve had in training for three months now is hardly tolerable. I mean, look at him. Obviously full of anger and rage, prepared to maul me and tear me to shreds. He hates coming to work every day and really acts out, as seen here. He spent a solid 5 minutes like this, trying to smell the fear in me that I was so bravely masking. I don’t know how much longer I can do this very unfulfilling job. Stay safe out there y’all

The perfect horse doesn’t exis——-
Actually!!! He does!!! And I’m so fortunate that he’s in my stable!!!!

KARTOUCHE
2015 Gelding
Toto Jr x Dayano
17.1h
Located in Northern VA
Full vetting on file

This big chunk of love has it all. Beauty, brains, talent, and a huge heart. He is very solid in the PSG work with a good understanding of more advanced skills. You can ride him ba****ck, take him on hacks, he has been to the beach, he can jump, he has been ridden by kids….. He’s really the perfect gentleman!! And don’t shy away from his height and chunky build, this talented horse rides light as a feather and is always willing to put his best effort into what you ask. He has experience showing through the equivalent of 4th level with an amateur in Holland. I really, really, adore this horse. I think he would fulfill the dreams of many types of riders!! He has the potential to be a super JR/YR horse, but is also a great age and training level for anyone wanting a very level headed horse to develop to the Grand Prix. There is absolutely nothing negative to say about this guy. He has a great vetting, currently requires no maintenance outside of routine care, and is just so happy to see you every day of the week.
