On-Site Dressage & Western Pleasure Trainers

 Jessica has been riding horses for over 30 years and has successfully trained and shown through Third Level in the United State Dressage Federation (USDF). She is one score away from earning a USDF Bronze medal on horses that she has started and trained.

Jessica’s extensive training journey has given her exposure to some of the Pacific Northwest’s most well-recognized and respected trainers.  Throughout the course of her journey, Jessica solidified her riding skills and shaped her training methodology.  

In particular, Jessica had the extraordinary experience of leasing USEF “S” Judge and German FEI trainer Sonja Vracko’s imported FEI gelding and taking regular lessons with Sonja.  Sonja’s dedicated, methodical, and kind approach to training and coaching had a profound influence on Jessica.

In addition to Sonja, Jessica has also had the opportunity to train with:

• Gwen Blake – long-listed for Olympics, Grand Prix trainer, owns Donida Farm;   

  Jessica lived on-site at Donida as head groom / working student

• Alyssa Pitts – Grand Prix trainer, USDF Gold Medalist

• Debbie Fornia-Dewitt – long-listed for Olympics; USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold  

  medalist

• Debby Martin – Grand Prix trainer, USDF Silver medalist

• Erin Jorgenson - USDF Gold Medalist

Jessica was able to take the skills she acquired while riding with Sonja to go on to ride for a Dutch Warmblood breeding and training facility in Texas as well as exercise ride a retired Para-Olympic Grand Prix mount.  Jessica has been a working student studying dressage under FEI trainers (international competitors) and has had the opportunity to regularly ride horses trained to the highest levels of the sport.   She is a firm believer in ongoing education and continues to take lessons and clinic with knowledgeable instructors.  Most recently, Jessica rode Promise in a clinic with Kristi Wysocki, USEF “S” & FEI Para-Olympic Judge.

Jessica has a calm, kind, and analytical approach to teaching; using the dressage training scale and the level system to improve the skills of both horse and rider.   Jessica loves building the confidence of horse and rider and believes riding should be harmonious and joyful.  

Jessica is a registered Professional with the USDF, US Equestrian, and Western Dressage Association of America (WDAA).
