Jessica & Emily

"Our program focuses on educating riders and owners about good horsemanship. We are one of the few programs that locally does not focus or push riders and owners to show. With that said, however, we do enjoy going to a local show to have fun and socialize while getting horses and riders/owners experience in new and busy environments!"

*Emily Senesac & Jessica Clements*

As avid and dedicated young horsewomen, Jessica and Emily both have a passion for helping owners and riders develop a solid foundation of trust and respect between horse and human. Building such a foundation also helps keep both horse and human safe and able to have an enjoyable relationship on the ground and in the saddle. Both young ladies have a background in various riding disciplines, horse breeds and both have worked with various trainers and instructors over the years. Combined, Emily and Jessica have a vast "toolbox' of methods and techniques to be able to develop a program that tailors to each horse and owner/rider as the individuals and individual teams that they are. 
Jessica and Emily's lesson and training program is geared towards those who want to build confidence in every aspect of their equine experience; be it on the ground, in the saddle, in the arena or on the trails, at or away from home. Confidence, trust, understanding and respect are key factors in having a fun and safe relationship with your equine partner!

**Due to the size of horses we have available to teach lessons on, we unfortunately cannot accept lesson students that are over approximately 150lbs to 175lbs for the physical well being of our horses. We apologize for the inconvenience but we thank you for understanding!**

About Us!

Jessica Clements

Jessica has been interested in horses as long as she can remember. She started out with pony rides on her aunts horses and started formal lessons at age 10. Always a hard worker, you would find Jessica most likely cleaning stalls or helping with various chores around the farm.
​Anything she could do to be around horses, she was doing.
She bought her first horse Gus, at age 16 and trained him from the ground up. Since then she has done various disciplines, events, showing, trail riding, bareback riding and anything fun she can find for them to do together. Recently she has acquired a young quarter horse gelding who had a rough start to life. Through their work together he has blossomed into a happy, healthy gelding ready to do whatever work is asked of him.
Jessica has worked with many young, green horses and takes a special interest in the younger equines or those who need a little more work.
Jessica enjoys seeing the progress made in any horse and seeing confidence bloom between horse and rider. She really focuses on having a fun, happy relationship with her horses and hopes to promote the same thing for other equestrians.
When not around the horses, Jessica enjoys spending time outside with her three dogs, Charlie, Presley and Remington. She has been working as a small animal veterinary technician for the past three years and greatly enjoys it. She hopes to expand this knowledge into the large animal field in the coming years.

Emily Senesac

Emily is 4th generation to work the family farm that is known as Cottonwood Stables.
She has always had a love and passion for animals throughout her life. If you couldn't find her, she was most likely out exploring the property or in the barn with her dad and grandfather. Along with a love for horses and training and instructing, Emily loves photography, wood burning and, obviously, grooming, riding and caring for horses. She is a mom of one, soon to be two (coming this October) and hopes she will be able to share her passion and lifestyle with her children as they grow up. 
When it comes to horses, Emily's biggest priority is safety for all, on the ground and in the saddle. She has successfully started and trained horses on her own, her pride and joy of all of her horses being Rain, who she has owned since birth in May of 2006. She takes great satisfaction watching students (human or horse) be successful on their own, gaining independence and confidence in their own skills. Be that in the local show arena or in the home arena, out in fields or on trails, on the ground and in the saddle.
While a lot of her skills and techniques come from the guidance of her father, Emily has worked with trainers and instructors in lessons and clinics, thinks the highest of Don Knapp, Eric Horgan, Jordan LaPlaca, Carl Bessette, Kaci O'Rourke and Laura Graves.
She does not specialize in a specific discipline, Emily feels a good knowledge of basic horsemanship along with good equitation practices will set riders up for success in any discipline and/or any situation. Being able to keep control of your horse is the key to being successful no matter what you choose to do with your equine partner.
