Jenafer Forrest – Assistant Hunter/Jumper Trainer Specializing in the beginner rider, ages 4 through adult, students of Jenafer Forrest, the Assistant Trainer with Get Over It Farms, will learn a strong foundation for all disciplines of riding. The objective is to discover and nurture each student's riding goals. Riders learn all aspects of horsemanship, including how to groom, tack-up their horse and value the three important principals: 1.Safety, 2.Having Fun, 3.Learning. Jenafer Forrest has been riding horses since age four. Her experience began in Michigan where she trained and attended at local shows. Jenafer became a camp counselor and junior riding instructor. After a hiatus during high school and college years, she returned to riding in Arizona. Using the principals of Centered Riding, students learn self-confidence through core balance and the understanding of how their body influences their horses movements. Jenafer has lived in the valley since 1992 and is a wife and mother of two children. Her role as a mother has been an enormous influence on her teaching style. Jenafer understands the importance of balancing school, horses and home-life. Students are encouraged to prioritize their responsibilities to ensure that they respect their obligations.
