Teri Jump, Asst. Trainer
Teri- has been involved with horses for over 50 years. She started riding western at a local stable, winning her first trophy in 1974, riding a draft cross named Coley. She switched to English riding and has been fortunate to train with the late Gwen Stockebrand, winner of the silver medal at the Pan American games and USDF Gold Medalist Heidi Choate. These trainers instilled the love of dressage.
Teri met Deb Packard in late 2010. She started driving a lesson horse named Flash and was hooked. She brought her Oldenburg gelding, Peter, to Deb to train him to drive. After Peter was driving the carriage, she showed him several times before an injury forced his retirement. Teri went on to drive and show several of Deb’s horses before acquiring her current horse, a Haflinger gelding, named Lance. With Lance,
Teri was the recipient of the Eli Decker Memorial Trophy (best Preliminary pony) and was a winner of the West Coast Triple Crown.
Teri believes in positive coaching; lots of praise and clear concise instructions, as well as a lot of fun to prepare her students for the show ring.
