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.

Oh Henry!


My love for horses was really inspired by my grandfather Henry Nelson. He had 2 horses one of those horses was a buckskin mustang named "Buster." Horses were one of his greatest passions in life. During the 1950's my grandfather owned a Ford dealership. He told us that when he heard that Ford was coming out with a new sports car that he wrote in to the company and suggested that they name this new car the "Mustang." As a tribute to him and all that he meant to me I have always wanted to have my own mustang and name him "Henry Ford" after my grandfather. I have just been waiting for the right Mustang to come along. Finally Henry has come along and what a blessing he is! He is definitely an answer to prayers. He is my horse for the Supreme Extreme Mustang Makeover in Fort Worth.

When I picked up "Henry Ford" it was obvious from the first moment I saw him in the BLM chutes that he was quiet, gentle, and kind. Not at all unlike Henry Nelson. He is so smart and willing too. I can't wait to see what lays ahead for us. After all the heartache I have experienced with Tornado I am more than ready for Henry!
