“Jessica has taken our daughter from her first-ever horse show to becoming a competitive rider on the national circuit. She is organized, detail-oriented, and cares deeply for all riders and horses in her program. She puts safety first - and not just in words but in actions - and is always an advocate for the well-being of every creature within her care. We have worked with her leasing and purchasing horses, and she has always listened to all our wishes and concerns, and matched our daughter with perfect ponies in each stage of her development as a rider. Jessica enables us to horseshow at various amazing venues around the country, and have fun learning at home. She is extremely easy to communicate with, and she sets expectations and plans with a precision and transparency that is unparalleled in the horse world. She teaches her riders constantly and consistently - when they’re mounted and when they’re on the ground. Our daughter especially loves her encouraging and thorough coaching style - detailed, kind feedback at every lesson.
After 4 years, we can warmly and whole-heartedly recommend the program! ”

"My daughter has ridden and trained with Jessica Goldstein Holmes at Heartland Equestrian for the past 4 years, and the experience has been exceptional. Jessica's deep knowledge of horsemanship, combined with her patient and personalized approach, creates an environment where both riders and horses thrive. Her guidance is thoughtful, encouraging, and always focused on building the confidence and skill that transcends into all aspects of a riders life.
Heartland Equestrian is a well maintained, welcoming facility where the well-being of every horse is clearly a top priority. Our horse receives the best of care and Jessica and her team work closely with us to manage everything on site, including veterinary care, body work, shoes, diet and supplements. It truly is a full service barn. The atmosphere is supportive, respectful, and deeply passionate about equestrian excellence. From local shows to top level competition at the World Equestrian Center, Heartland can take you there. If you're looking for a place for you or your child to grow as a rider while giving your horse the best training and care possible, Heartland Equestrian is the right choice."
