My daughter Molly has done x country and show jumping clinics with Jess , and as a coach , she always gives 110% to every single student . Her talent, enthusiasm and obvious passion for her sport are clear . Her supportive and inclusive style coaching allows everyone the opportunity to grow and learn . Jess is also always keen to follow and support her students progress at competitions . She never fails to ask how Molly is doing at a competition , even though she is busily competing several horses herself

Our family has purchased through Jess previously, the purchase we made was for my very nervous daughter , this makes buying a pony super hard and Jess had this in mind the whole process, she was true to her word in every way , we still have the pony and I will say she most likely won’t part with him , even though she’s slightly grown out of him .. 🙌🏼☺️🙌🏼

Jess is an amazing coach and rider!! It’s been a breath of fresh air finding a coach like Jess, she’s warm and humbling at every lesson, she makes everything understandable and relatable with any queries in regards to any problems or concerns I express. The improvement in not only my riding, but my horse has really blown me away. I have become a more confident rider and my horse has improved beyond words in his flatwork/dressage and is really showing in his jumping

I’ve done several clinics with Jess. Jess is one of those coaches that challenges you within your limits. She’s no nonsense, but fun. Easy going, but professional. Because she’s still competing all the time she brings new ideas to the clinics. Bring on an end this rain and maybe I’ll get to another one soon.

My lovely horse needed to be sold as I was heading away on a long term holiday and I reached out to Jess to help me as I was running out of time to find him a home before I left. Jess took on all the information I provided on board about him and spent a few weeks prepping him for the sale beautifully. She took him around his first EVA95 in many years and did a Stella job of piloting him around the course. When he came home for a short holiday and I was blown away by how well he looked and how calm and happy he was in his work when ridden. Jess secured him the perfect home in a excellent time frame understanding his needs as a sensitive thoroughbred. Her communication was outstanding and nothing was ever too much to ask. She told me straight when there was any issues or anything that buyers were struggling with but also then went and worked on those weaker areas of the horse to ensure that he was improving in his work. I cannot thank Jess enough for taking the stress off my hands and for ensuring my lovely boy is in a happy home doing what he loves.

As an active ‘mature’ rider at 56, I have no goals to achieve great heights or win any competitions. I love riding for fitness, pony weekends away and an adrenalin rush or as some call it Cross Country. Im no talent or up and coming star, but ride simply for the love of it all. Jess knows my horse and I know she will never push us beyond our capabilities. Instead she helps to in-still confidence in myself and my spooky boy, improving my riding skills and giving me tools to add to my belt. For all of her own talent and success and the fact we are not weekly students, I feel privileged and humble that Jess always remembers us and where we are at.

Jess has been coaching me for the past few years and i have never improved so much with a coach. Jess learns about all her students and horses individually and always makes you feel like your apart of her team at wildfire equestrian. She never pushes you past your limits and is so wonderful at explaining both you and your horses mind to you during problems you will face. Jess is someone i know i can never hesitate to message when facing problems with me and my horse. she always makes you feel so welcomed into new communities in the horse world and is someone who will always look out for all her students.

Jess is an amazing coach and a fabulous rider but above all that she is the nicest, most genuine human being that is ALWAYS willing to help. I have only been to a handful of clinics yet Jess is always there for me and always checks in with me at events, even stalking the live scoring and updating me before I know what’s going on 🙈 I recently sent my mare to Jess for some schooling and she has come back a completely different horse, with an amazing work ethic and loves to please. Jess was always open and honest with me and would always be there to answer all my questions even if I did drive her a bit mad 🙈 I’ll never be able to thank Jess enough for what she has done for me, but above all, I know I have gained a true friend who will always be there for me 💕
