Jesse began riding at the age of 8. She has competed in Vaulting, Three Day Eventing, and Jumpers and has developed a reputation for success with challenging horses employing natural horsemanship and dressage fundamentals. In 1998 Jesse began her baccalaurate studies at Cal Poly Pomona and rode on the Intercollegiate Team. She earned both a California Teaching Credential and a Masters Degree in Biology. She taught High School Biology, but was then drawn back to her first love… Horses.
After relocating to Washington State, she decided to advance her dressage education. Piaffe and passage expert, Alfredo Hernandez, impressed with Jesse’s groundwork and her raw talent, took her on as his first ever student intern. After traveling with Alfredo for over a year Jesse launched her own specialized In Hand Clinics.
She is currently pursuing her competitive aspirations in dressage while offering her popular In-Hand clinics world wide.
Alex – Working Student
Alex (Alexandra) is a Working Student at JS Equestrian Sports providing support for Jesse.
She has been riding since the age of four and is currently developing her young house, Harry, with the goal of moving up levels in dressage.
Alex’s passion and love for horses is clear in all she does. Her gentle, yet disciplined, approach builds mutual trust with the horses she works with.
We have moved to a dedicated JS Equestrian facility
At the end of November, JS Equestrian Sports relocated to a beautiful, privately owned facility just north of Woodinville.
