About
Jessica Willis, JLR Farm
My passion for coaching came from my own curiosity about how to really connect with horses. I’ve always had a deep connection to animals and an enormous love for horses. I began training before I was 10 and after college I began to learn how we can holistically support our own intuition to enhance training. My goal is to help riders experience success showing their own horses with winning performances! I believe in empowering horse owners, and their horses, to reach their fullest potential by inspiring them and allowing success to simply move through them. My biggest mentor is also my coach and sister, Jen Molitor. She is committed to empowering others to be true to who they are, to find and trust their inner voice, and to see themselves as worthy of investing time and energy into developing themselves.
Over the years, I’ve coached doctors, engineers, teachers, and business owners and empowered them to take action in building the connection with their horse they envision & to overcome the inner blocks that prevent them from being successful.
My clients learn how eliminate those pesky show nerves, how to create a more responsive horse, and how to truly improve their show success.
In 2009, I had the chance to get started working on my first business. I quickly realized I needed an organized system for supporting clients and ideas for supporting their growth. Even though I had a Master’s Degree and years of experience in teaching, horses and humans alike, I needed to find a mentor or a program to support my lack of no-how in communicating what exactly it was that I did and how it benefited my ideal client. I didn’t need another degree. I needed a proven, authentic system that would help me overcome my money blocks and help me get my message to the right people. And, since I was committed to building a business based on integrity and a desire to make a difference, I set out to find some answers. I took classes, got coaching, and learned from some of the best heart-based business experts in the industry. The strategies and templates I developed for trainers, horse owners, and those eager to get results are now integral parts of my Skyrocket your Horse Show Success and have been shared with horse owners to ease the overwhelm and eliminate the inner blocks to achieve success.
YOU are infinitely powerful. YOU deserve to love your horse show career and be inspired daily. Every bold action step you take is a message to the universe- one that says, “I’m ready to make a difference. I’m ready to align my passion with my horse show career. Let’s do this!”

What types of students have you worked with?
Young horses whose owners need more guidance have seen great success with JLR Farm as well as trail riders, competitive riders, and all avenues in between. Most of our clients are western, English, or trail riders.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure you find an instructor that aligns with your values and goals. If you have a gut feeling go with it and don’t settle for someone who doesn’t empower you to reach your goals. If you have reservations about how they are teaching try another instructor.
