Hey Jessica congrats on the new place can't wait to have some more horses coming down for training. You have
been a great communicator of my horses progress and it is appreciated.

You have done an awesome job! It is hard to believe that is busy so controlled and responsive with so little time straight out of pasture as 2year old. Mandy looks great also and we are impressed with how she responds and stops and stands. Thanks again for update and the great job you are doing.

Thanks! I'm so excited that she's getting out in the big, bad world. I really am delighted that Windy is being a good student, and you have the knowledge and patience to train her. What a godsend you are.

Hey, just wanted to stop by and say how impressed I am with the job you did on Kid and Junior. I wasn’t able to be as involved as I would have liked, but you took them both in a great direction and I love how you personalized the training for each one of them. My schedule doesn’t allow me to ride as much as I would like, but I’ve ridden about 4 times since I brought them to VA and they are doing really well. Everyone at the new barn is really impressed with how well they are doing as young 2 year olds. Thanks again for the solid foundation to build on and I can’t wait to see what you do with Juniors little sister in the spring.

Thunder and Pistol are doing great! Since you started working with us, Thunder has really done a 360 and I can happily ride him without being nervous! Pistol has shaped up nicely also and is lots of fun to ride. I am glad to call you "my trainer!" Thanks a million!

Zacara is doing really well. This past week she has really settled down to working trot and easy canter. I took her on a 2 hour trail ride with several other horses. She was was very relaxed. She is in a huge pasture with 10 other horses, a couple mules and a couple cows. Being in a herd has helped her learn to get along. She has not shown any of that "in heat" behavior. Thanks again for getting her started.

Hi Jessica!

Yesterday was a wonderful day for me! Thanks for your patient instruction! I am so looking forward to my next lesson- the only soreness I have today is in my quads- I haven't used these this much in a very long time!

Your dedication to your work is very obvious. I would love to leave him indefinitely for training/lessons because you seem to have been able to do so much with him.

You are absolutely amazing with him! I'm so glad that you figured him out, you have to be so proud of yourself too! Thanks so much for all of your hard work with him.

HEY JESSICA SORRY IT TAKEN ME SO LONG TO GET BACK WITH YOU.. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK WITH "PEPPER' AS WELL AS 'LAUREN" . I KNOW THAT LAUREN CAN BE A DIFFICULT CHILD TO WORK WITH. YOU DID A GREAT JOB AND YOU WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AT ALL TIMES. YOUR HARD WORK PAID OFF IN THE END."PEPPER STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND NAILED IT WINNING HIM A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE. PEPPER ADJUSTED TO EVERYTHING BETTER THAN I EXCEPTED. I WAS SO PROUD OF HIM. THIS WAS HIS FIRST INDOOR SHOW AND HE HANDLED IT LIKE HE HAD BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS. AGAIN , THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.

Jessica,
As for an update on Jax, that is what we have been calling him, he is absolutely wonderful. I am taking it easy on him as far as riding to give his knees and hocks a chance to close, but I do try to get on him at least once a week so I can keep him going. My dad has come out and taken him trail riding with me and my boyfriend just rode him for the first time yesterday. Jax is so easygoing that he and my stallion actually get along really well. That makes me feel better about riding and trailering them together. When the weather gets better and he sheds the 10 pounds of hair he has grown, I will send you some pics. I have been telling everyon where I got him from and what a wonderful job you did starting him. Also, that all of your horses are very nice and well trained. Hopefully I will be able to send you some business, especially when I get Jax to some shows. I hope Rosie is doing well, I feel confident that if anyone can turn her into a nice riding horse its you.
Thank you for everything; I am so in love with Jax. He is exactly the horse I have been wanting.
Sincerely,
Joy D. Howell

Hey Jessica! Spotted your ad on CL while I was lookin me a saddle. I wanted to write you and tell you about Jewel! Baby Jewel was dead on - I ride her everywhere, to and from the the pasture on a lead rope and halter. We have been on a lot of trail rides - and she does beautifully - she actually looks out for me in some instances, holes I cannot see,and getting on with my bad leg I use a step stool she actually has learned on her on to sidestep and circle to get closer to make it easier for me to get on. She is everything you said she would be. I am so glad to have seen your ad so I could thank you, she is a joy in our lives and she is our forever and ever horse. Thank you! Thank you!

Richard Cowart& Dr. Debra Holden

Thank you Jessica, you are without a doubt a pleasure to do business with! Good Luck at the show this weekend!

"Hi Jessica, I wanted to Thank-you again for everything. Also wanted to let you know that we sold YoYo to a horse trainer up near Asheville."

-Donna Grogan Climax,NC

"Thank you, I'll keep you updated and if you ever decide to make a "Happy Homes" or Happy Customers page--then you can put the pics on there & a little note on how she is doing. She is a sweetie! I use to have an older dapple grey Percheron/QH mare that I loved! She looked more so on the QH side--but Montana actually reminds me of her --she is so stocky built and a wide back. I can't wait to ride her. We have been giving her the supplements and painting her feet with hoof oil twice a day and they are already looking better. Hope you are enjoying "Jewel" -I love that name. Thanks Again, Tonya"
