“Jen has a beautiful ability to guide riders to better connect with their horses..”

Jen has been instrumental in helping me reach one goal after another in my riding. As a trainer, she instills confidence. Moreover, Jen has a beautiful ability to guide riders to better connect with their horses, such as by developing exercises that take into account aspects unique to each human-equine partnership. She is a stellar horsewoman.

“..not only teaches riding technique but also instills the valuable skill of self assessment..”

Jen Taylor’s thoughtful instruction has made a world of difference in my daughter’s horsemanship. She has calmly and patiently instructed my ten year old for the past two years. I have witnessed vastly improved skills and immensely boosted confidence in her due to Jen’s quiet steady guidance. Jen not only teaches riding technique but also instills the valuable skill of self assessment. My daughter looks forward to any time she gets to spend at Westwind Farm with “Miss Jen” who treats her with respect as a young rider not as a child. With Jen’s encouragement and coaching, my daughter even participated in her first three hunter jumper shows this year (a dream of hers since she first fell in love with horses at age four). Our family cannot thank Jen enough for the positive impact she is making in our horse-loving girl’s life.
