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.

Cowgirl Up!


Today I decided to give Tornado a break and work him light. When I sat on him bareback from the rail he felt confident and relaxed. It seems that all the work with plastic bags and potato sacks is paying off. I decided to go for it and rode him for about 30 minutes at walk. The best part was that he seemed content to have me on his back and the ride was wonderfully uneventful (: I am so proud of him and of myself for that matter. On average I have worked with him twice a day with only 4 days off so far. It's felt like I've been trying to build a mountain with one grain of sand at a time. I have probably put in the same amount of hours on Tornado thus far that I had into my first makeover horse from start to finish! We have a long way to go, but at least we are on the way...
