Jacque’s mentors include her great friend Aimee Brimhall, who she owes much respect, gratitude and love for, in her journey with horses! Other mentors include: Pat Parelli, Ronnie Willis, Leon Harrell (World Champion Cutter), Craig Johnson (World Champion Reiner), Walter Zettle (Respected dressage teacher, trainer), Dr. Robert Miller DVM (Father of Imprint Training in foals), and Jack Brainard (Western Dressage).

Jacque assisted veterinarians at the last employer’s ranch in embryo floating and artificial insemination of mares.  She also assisted with foaling, and the development of their relationship with humans, until the colts turned 3 years old.  Three of the stallions went on to the 100 Day Stallion test in Germany.  One of stallions was 1st in the nation at Devon in 2010 for Oldenburgs, and was 3rd at Devon for 2011!

Jacque is certified in Parelli Foundation Colt Starting, specializing in Liberty, Bridleless, and Freestyle riding.  She also offers Western Dressage and Natural Horsemanship lessons.
