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.
