Jenna did not grow up in a horsey family, but it was love from the first plastic palomino her grandpa gave to her. Jenna started training horses 12 years ago as a means to pay for her own. She has spent years working under other great trainers and now has her own clientele. In 2008 Jenna trained her first mustang and was a finalist at the Western States Mustang Challenge. Since then she has trained Mustangs for Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue and last year got the opportunity to teach her first clinic gentling mustangs at a BLM adoption. Last October Jenna founded Heart to Heart Equine Rescue with the help of Cheryl Zanini. Jenna is currently training horses and riders at Proud Horse Stables in Redlands, CA.







She is currently preparing "Henry Ford" for the Supreme Extreme Mustang Makeover in Fort Worth, Texas August 13-14 2010.

big week for tiny horse


What a difference a week makes!!!!!!!! All the hard work is paying off in a big way. It seems that Tiny has decided that fear is something to leave behind ....YAY for Tiny ......HIP HIP HOORAY for me =) Since last week he went on a trail ride and he andled it like a pro AND we finally loped. He was very calm and collected and has one heck of a slide stop. Did I mention his favorite speed is WHOA?!?


PS... We have located a saddle that actually fits "TINY" ...and it belongs to a 17 hand purebred CLYDESDALE. My 14 hand horse happliy wears a draft saddle LOL!!!

bareback bronc

So Tiny and I are both on a learning curve. I am learning all the ways that mustangs are different than domestic horses and Tiny is learning how to be a domestic horse. He did everything I asked for the first 35 days and then he decided to show me that he really was scared. Apparently he holds all his emotions inward and then BAAAABOOOOM!!! As Angi calls it he "lost his sh*t" ....and I lost mine somewhere between flying through the air and bouncing off the ground. We are working on teaching Tiny how to constructively deal with his fear and hoping that I don't get broke in the process. I have actually reverted to riding him bareback because I don't have a saddle that fits well enough to stay upright when he does loose his stuff.

PS ....I love Tiny
