R & J Equestrian

Welcome to R & J Equestrian, where we focus on clear, quiet communication between horse and rider. Basic Horsemanship can be easily overlooked in today's world of instant gratification. However, it is the foundation of all great horsemen.

Our Journey began back in 2012 when we went from backyard cowgirls on a mission to become the best horsewomen we could be. The goal is to push for more and varied knowledge, while sharing our passion for horses and creating lifelong partnerships with these amazing animals.

Trainer: Rachel has had a lifelong passion for horses that, much to her mother's chagrin, has never gone away. She's always found herself working at local barns throughout high school and college. After which she took a position in the domestic hoofstock department of Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo where she learned to drive carriage/cart and broke her first colt. She is passionate about continuing to challenge herself by expanding her horsemanship knowledge in as many disciplines as possible. However, her main focus is in finding the strongest fundamentals for a better, safer ride, every time. Now acting as a CHA certified instructor, she is excited to help others find their footing in the horse world.
