Hi all!
I have started my own training and teaching business, Diverse Equestrian LLC and will be based out of Carbondale! Follow me on Facebook (@diverseequestrianllc)! We are revving up for the summer CWHJA circuit.
Very excited to welcome Riley G’s new lease horse for the summer named Samos. Kailei G also just got herself a new horse, name still pending. We’re super excited to see where these girls go this summer! Also a big welcome to Karen and her horses Juju and Jani! Looking forward to lots of lessons learned, trail rides and fun.
I am available for training, riding and lessons. I will be working out of Cedar Ridge and Crystal Springs for the time being. I can also come to you. I have lesson horses available and will hopefully be purchasing two more here shortly.
Feel free to call or text – 303-910-0211
For the horses,
Jacquelyn
