Lisa Winn

Lisa Factor Winn has always had a career with horses. After growing up in the Los Angeles area and attending UCLA, she turned her head strictly to show horses. With a career spanning decades, Lisa is a wealth of knowledge, and her passion for horses, teaching, and the sport has maintained a longevity many aspire to achieve. She is a prominent and highly sought trainer in Los Angeles.

Lisa started riding as a child with Onondarka in Newhall. As an amateur, she rode successfully with Jeff Katz and Leslie Steele. It was training with Steele that Lisa’s talents as a trainer and rider landed her a job with Steele and, eventually, a position with Far West Farms.

Showcasing her talents while working with Far West for over 30 years, she trained numerous riders who became professionals, including Jamie Taylor, Katie Taylor, Ashlee Bond, and Karen Perlow. She coached many riders to their first medal final wins, such as Taylor in the LA County Horsemanship Finals and Bond in the SFHJA Challenge Medal Final.

Lisa is active in the Los Angeles show community, serving on various boards and committees. She served as President of the San Fernando Horse Show Association for six years and has been a member for over 26 years. Additionally, Lisa was Vice President of the Los Angeles Horse Show Association for two years and a board member for 24 years. She also served three years on the CPHA Foundation board.

Lisa and Jessica teamed up 28 years ago at Far West Farms and proved to be a strong force on the local circuit. Together they run Cerulean Farms out of Bell Canyon and couldn’t be happier. (Source)
