Jessica Forliano

Jessica has been privileged to be a part of the equine industry from a young age. She began taking lessons from a Western Pleasure trainer in Bucks County, PA at the age of nine. After just a year, the English saddle was her ride of choice as she began riding English Pleasure and sooner yet hunters and jumpers.

In her teens, Jessica’s talents were noticed and her trainers began giving her the tougher problem-horses to work with and show in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Show circuits. It was soon realized that Jessica had a good understanding of training horses and she knew this was the career she wanted to pursue.

After graduating from Lycoming College in 1999 with a B.A. in Marketing and Communications, Jessica continued working at equine facilities and showed on the East coast; Devon, Fairfield, etc. She then bought her most important teacher, Jedi, a 2002 TB/Hanoverian gelding by Viscount out of Leah and trained him from the ground up with the help of mentor, a John Lyons Certified Trainer. During the training process, Jessica learned how vital the relationship between horse and person is and she carries that with her to this day. She was also privileged to learn from hunter/jumper trainers in PA, NJ, MT and CO. (Source)
