Jennifer Moran is an avid horse lover and has spent the last 17 years of her adult life learning and training to become a better communicator with her equine partners. Jen has a Masters Degree in Psychology which she uses in conjunction with her classical training to bring horses and riders together into a harmonious partnership. Jen has a very successful show record and has won various VADA/VADA Nova, USDF, AWS and Silver Stirrup awards. She especially enjoys young horses and training them up through the levels. She is an Associate Instructor through the USDF and is a 2008-2009 USDF L Program Graduate. Her training includes many clinics with noted icons in the Dressage World and her current trainers include: Jessica Ransehousen a 3 time Olympian, FEI I Judge and Chef d' Equipe for various Olympics and World Championships, Debbie Bowman a USDF Certified Instructor Faculty Member and Jim Koford a USDF Gold Medalist and Region 1 Grand Prix Champion. Jen has a positive approach that is encouraging to riders. Having not had horses as a child she can easily relate to the daily struggles of balancing a full time job, family, horses and learning to ride as an adult. She encourages all riders in all disciplines to use the principles of Dressage to become a better partner to thier horse.
