Cora started trickriding with Jerri at age 4. This summer she spent extra time with Jerri and was riding Jerri's special horse Sable. Cora lives and breathes trickriding. If she is not on her horse she is hanging off furniture, fences and equipment. You name it, she can do a trick on it.

bar
Gracie

Gracie is a 7 year old, who knows what she wants. Ever since she was a baby, horses caught her attention. The first time she saw trick riders perform, she said that's what I want to do. You can always find her on the computer watching trick riding videos of The Crazy Cowgirls! She also loves to compete in Gymkhana. Anytime she is on a horse, she has the biggest smile on her face! She is currently in grade 1, and really enjoys it, she loves to read and learn math.

Jacquie

Jacquie, 27 is married and has 3 children. She has been riding since she was a little girl. She has always been extremely passionate about trick riding; its something she has always wanted to do. When Jacquie decided to put her daughter in the JDP school, she thought "why not me too", you only live once. She absolutely loves it! She started riding Shilo, who is a awesome little guy who was very patient. Recently Jacquie bought a  3 year old gelding, named "Titan" and has just started using him and he is doing amazing!  Jacquie loves learning all the tricks -  so far the one foot stand seems to be one her best. Her hope is for one day to perform with her daughter Gracie. The most important thing Jacquie has learned to far, is that it's never to late to follow your dreams!

Kelsey

Kelsey, 13, does it all. She takes jumping lessons, plays volleyball and basketball and trick rides too. She learned to trick ride on Jerri`s horse Shilo. Her side backbend is amazing. Now she is trickriding on a taller horse, Chance, so she can lean the tricks she needed a taller horse for such as the suicide drag and stroud layout. Kelsey has performed in several shows and has a flair for performing.

bar
Kirstie

Kirstie has been riding all her life and trickrides on her horse Smoke, originally trained by Jerri. Kirstie has the whole package, with lots of flair and talent.  A Miss Calgary Stampede princess in 2009 was one of the highlights of life.  She was busy in 2010 being a goodwill ambassador for the Calgary Stampede.   Couldn't have happened to a nicer young lady. She is now booking shows for 2012.  

bar
Mackenzie

Mackenzie is 9 yrs old and started trick riding on Sable and is now using her own horse Tess.  She has mastered most of the tricks now and loves trick riding double with her friends.  Vaulting is easy for her. She is very proud to have grown just enough to reach the regular trampolines the taller students use. Kenzie quietly listens and practices while waiting for her turn.  With a few shows already behind her, look for good things to come with this young performer.  Other activities enjoyed by Kenzie are camping and trail riding in the mountains.

She teamed up at several rodeos with Bradi and Ashley and her performances were outstanding! Her vaulting is masterful, and she was the first to ride on someone's shoulders when we load up Zak in vaulting. Her trick riding is flawless.  Sierra has mastered most of the tricks, even the Stroud Layout. Sierra has earned her CPRA contract performers card; watch for her at Pro Rodeos. Look out for her in years to come!  When not on a horse, you can find her enjoying the Brownies program.

Tynell

Tynell just turned 6 in July and has been trickriding for a year.  She trickrides on Sable.  Tynell is an "outside" girl who also loves gymkana on her horse Spike,  Studying dance (ballet and tap) will be an advantage in trick riding.  One of her fave things is running errands with grandma and grandpa.  Her favorite trick has become the double hippadrome with her trick riding buddy, 7 year old Gracie. Tynell ranks way up there as one of the most enthusiatic students I have ever had.
