BREAKTHROUGH DRESSAGE is the comprehensive Michigan based dressage training program of USDF Bronze and Silver Medalist Jessie Myers.  Jessie has been training horses and  riders since 1999.  She is the exclusive trainer for Bronze Mare Farm, a beautiful 90-acre facility in south eastern Michigan, just southwest of Ann Arbor. 

Jessie is effective working with riders of all ages and skill levels and with horses of all breeds.  She believes that dressage is a training method with proven benefits for any horse and rider combination. Jessie is a proven and patient teacher who believes learning takes place only when horse and rider are happy and confident. 

She applies a systematic approach to dressage training based on the German training pyramid that prioritizes establishing rhythm, suppleness, contact, impulsion, straightness and collection, in that order.
Quality advanced work is attainable when horse and rider are working on a strong foundation of correct basics. Jessie feels it is imperative to establish a relaxed and forward moving horse who accepts contact and the rider's aids from an early point. Equally important is a correctly positioned,  confident, balanced and effective rider.
 
 In 2007, Jessie and her Trakehner-Arabian cross gelding Petrie won the Reserve Championship for Intermediare I at the Arabian Sporthorse Nationals as well as the FEI Championship at Intermediare I for the Waterloo Show Series.  They qualified for Region 2 Championships at both Prix St. Georges and Intermediare I.  The talented horse is offered at $45,000.  More photos can be found on the Horses in Training page, the 2007 Shows and Photos II and III pages, and the Horses for Sale page.  Contact Jessie for a video and to schedule an appointment.  Serious inquiries only please.
