About Jessica Ponte

Mission

I am here to help you have a better horse life by being your success guide in your Horse-Man-Ship journey.

History

My Parelli initiative began when I attended a Parelli Conference in my area as a young teenager – the horsemanship from this event was so mind-blowing that it was like watching The Black Stallion movie when Alex plays with the Black on the beach – easy, fluid, no-stress, and the true definition of real Horse-Man-Ship. I always wanted to have a profession with horses, but it was at that specific event that I knew I wanted to be involved with Parelli.

Horses have always been a passion of mine, but I did not come from a home that owned or had easy access to horses. My determination to be around and play with horses found me with a local Wild Horse Advocate group where I helped rescue, start, and train wild horses acquired off the Nevada range. This association evolved into a 4-H horse project progressing to colt starting a Mustang that was gifted to me. The skills and knowledge provided by the Parelli Natural Horsemanship program helped and guided me through many challenges with the horses I was handling at that time, both my own and those associated with the Wild Horse Advocates.

My love for horses and horsemanship inspired me to further my education by attending the University of Nevada Reno and obtaining a bachelor’s degree in animal science as well as becoming a Licensed Veterinary Technician in the state of Nevada. This knowledge gave me better technical and scientific training with animals, but also allowed me to continue my commitment with my personal horsemanship.

My horsemanship continued to flourish as I spent much time with many professionals in various avenues of natural horsemanship. I continue to study with many of these horsemen/women today. Not only is horsemanship important to me, but so is educating those seeking the knowledge. I have always had a knack for teaching (it might run in the family), and I love helping humans and their horse partner(s) have a better understanding of concepts for success.

Because of the Parelli Natural Horsemanship program, I have learned that safety and a solid foundation for horse and human are not interchangeable; therefore, it is my lifelong mission to help you have a better horse life by being your success guide in your Horse-Man-Ship journey!
