Had a great time at the recent Southern Equine Expo in Murfreesboro, TN! Held lectures, seminars and classes daily over the 3-day event. Here are some photos of the "Cross Training the Gaited Horse" class. Such great turnout with the stands full!
Jennie Jackson has never been one who stands on the sidelines allowing life to pass her by. She is passionate about her beliefs and never hides this passion. Jennie is perhaps best known as the owner and trainer of the big champagne stallion Champagne Watchout. Jennie introduced and published a brand new idea to an old discipline that people never imaged could be applied to Gaited Horses. Jeannie has been perfecting Dressage, as applied to Gaited Horses for over two decades. In 2010, Jennie was formally invited by the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games to be the Official Breed Representative of the Tennessee Walking Horses, where she introduced the 4 Beat Dressage to the international equestrian community. Requested to participate in exhibitions around the country, she has thrilled crowds with her one-of-a-kind performances. Jennie’s background is extensive. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Her knowledge transferable. Jennie Jackson has held clinics in Israel to include the Israeli Police Academy. Jennie Jackson clinics provided a unique opportunity to learn the secrets to success in working with all gaited breeds and traditional trotting horses. Whether you are a trail rider, new horse owner, or seasoned competitor, Jennie can help you understand and ‘get the gait’.

All the Pretty “Gaited” Horses Description: In our 4-beat gaited world, often times we wonder what gait is my horse doing? Does it have a name?

Jennie’s Lectures Why We Ride Gaited Horses Description: The smoothness of their gait and their willing disposition makes the gaited horse an ideal equine partner. To keep them strong and sound until their later years, we need to learn as the rider to be a better load to carry, as we teach the horse to be a stronger load carrier. Going Through Pearly Gaits Description: Gaited horses are some of the most talented groups when it comes to their many foot fall patterns. We will explore this topic in depth including how conformation and soundness issues effect the 4 beat gaits.
