“I learned at least 10 very concrete riding tips at the Rider’s Biomechanics Clinic you had with Sandy Howard. I loved the 3 hrs of lecture and videos and then watching the riders. I have to tell you that I was able to apply the 10 things I learned and added them to the new foundation you have been reconstructing in my riding…and yesterday’s ride was FABULOUS! It was amazing and incredible and I was thrilled at the end of the ride that I had a good understanding of why it went well.

I need to tell you that being here and riding with you and the caliber of professionals you are bringing to your farm is an answer to many, many prayers and after hours upon hours of frustrating rides where I always seemed to be stuck and run into a wall. I have always felt there were some major components I was missing in my riding and theory but none of the farms I rode at in Oregon were able to address the root of my missing holes that addressed the roots of the issues.

But in the past four months the instruction that I have received has been exactly what I have needed to address the holes that I have felt for such a long time. After my ride yesterday I have never felt so relaxed and part of the horse. My girls that were here were watching my ride and have been watching my progress for quite awhile were amazed at the sitting trot and the canter and told me it was really good and that it was the best they had ever seen me ride. They said that it looked so smooth. During the sitting trot I felt part of Cedar’s back and the canter left was unbelievable and felt effortless. It truly is beginning to feel like worship.

“Jennifer, thanks for the lesson. It was exceptionally productive for me. Your verbiage, descriptions and explanations combined with your tone and demeanor make you very effective.

It occurred to me as I walked away after listening to you instruct the lady on the Friesian that your the first instructor I’ve ever ridden with that tells the rider what to do, instead of just saying what to get the horse to do.

I also want you to know, and share with Lenny, that you have a very organized, maintained and well kept facility that is professional but still inviting and comfortable feeling.”

– Paul Boland, DHF Lesson Student

“Okay, So I’m a little slow to getting around to stuff, but today I put a grab strap on Havoline and then proceeded to work a figure 8 over a ground pole at the canter. A couple times of hitting my hand / grab strap and all of a sudden I had a wonderfully ride-able canter! HOLY CRAP! Who knew? Well, you did, but you know what I mean! Looking forward to Thursday.”

– Heidi Poinsett, DHF Lesson Student

“Jen is the most honest, genuine, and true person I have ever known. She has never steered my horse and I wrong. Her horses are so devoted to her and love her so much. They show it in their eyes and body expression when she rides them. Even when she walks in the aisle, they crave her attention and unconditional love. That speaks volumes about what kind of trainer and person she is. There are no words that describe how lucky my horse and I are to have found her and her barn family on our journey through life. Her lessons are not only riding lessons, but life lessons.”

– Angie Dyer and Teddy Spaghetty, DHF boarder and lesson student

“I really appreciate the great care DHF provides for my horse. Since he suffered a serious injury, it is difficult to find a boarding situation for him since he requires special care to keep him sound and healthy enough to ride. I also appreciate the valuable instruction which will help me ride him in a way that will continue to keep him happy and sound. I really love the farm and all of its amenities. I know my horse likes it because he is happy and healthy.”

– Pam Carter and Pavi, DHF boarder and lesson student

“I have boarded at several facilities in both Florida and the Mid West and Dancing Horse Farm is by far one of the best facilities I’ve been at. The care is super, the facility is wonderful, the turn out is great, the staff is caring and helpful, and Jennifer and her husband are approachable, knowledgeable, and down to earth. Such nice qualities!

One of the best things about Dancing Horse Farm is the atmosphere. It doesn’t matter what level you ride, what discipline you love, or what breed of horse you own, there is something for everyone at Dancing Horse Farm. Whether you are an experienced or novice rider you can take quality lessons, improve your position in the saddle, take part in educational opportunities at the farm, or just ride and enjoy your horse. While I am a dressage rider who loves the training process of riding, first and foremost I am someone who loves horses. This desire to ‘have fun while learning’ is felt when you step onto the property and echoed by everyone at Dancing Horse Farm. I’m so glad that Jennifer and Lenny decided to move back to Ohio and make Dancing Horse Farm their new home!”

– Theresa Bush, DHF boarder and lesson student

“Jen is a very knowledgeable and accomplished rider and understands the mechanics of riding extremely well. She is able to impart this knowledge clearly and patiently. Jen has great concern for the horse’s comfort and is careful to fit saddles to them individually with in-depth understanding.

Jen has an impressive network of professionals, and sponsors wonderful and useful seminars at DHF which I have found unequaled heretofore.”

“I’m e-mailing to remind you that I’d like to ride one day at the biomechanics clinic and also to THANK YOU for my lesson today! It feels like something clicked and I went home pumped up to ride Daiquiri. He was fabulous! We had some great trot work and actually ended with a canter that rivals his work last summer. He was light and so responsive to my leg with the new position that he actually did most of the work and not the other way around. Most of the things we did with Gus really helped Daiquiri too, since he’s had so much time off he’s been stiff. The ‘rail-car’ metaphor was exactly what I needed to hear to keep both of them straight and for me to use my outside rein. So thank you again and I’m looking forward to my lesson next week! :)”

– Amber Adcock and Daiquiri, DHF Lesson Student

“Dancing Horse Farm is by far the most professionally run and well kept boarding stable I have ever been associated with during my nearly 20 years of horse ownership. At DHF I have the peace of mind of always knowing my horses will be well taken care of when I can’t be at the farm because I’m away on business or at home spending time with my family. The facilities at DHF are excellent as well and provide the optimal environment for continuing my dressage education. There are also some bonus educational opportunities at DHF that I have never had access to before—the USDF sponsored educational clinics are a good example. Finally, I have a great deal of respect for Jennifer as both a rider and trainer. I highly recommend boarding and training at DHF.”
