Petra J. began riding as a child in her native Slovakia, Europe. She trained with a renowned European FEI rider and DVM in one. His passion for horses, excellent work ethic, and good old horsemanship sense were things Petra admired the most about him. She got to be a part of his ever growing equestrian business and learned the ropes of the European horse industry early on. She began her junior career by showing horses in the jumper divisions. She spent countless hours in the barn while helping with stable management, riding problem horses, stallions, preparing green horses for inspections, and sales auctions. After her relocation to California, she competed with green, problem, and seasoned horses in multiple hunter, jumper, medal classes with tremendous success. In addition, Petra enjoyed training with Andrea Barbee of Dreamland Farms. "I really admire Andrea`s work ethic, knowledge, and dedication to her horses." "Andrea polished my jumping style & has shown me new techniques to train horses." As a rider, I strive to collect new knowledge and valuable experience while training, and schooling horses for reputable professionals in Northern California. One never stops learning about horses. I believe that all horses need professional training and care in order to live up to one`s expectations. I love teaching, showing, and stable management of clients` horses. I hold a B.S Degree in International Business and Marketing.
