What Clients Say
“JJ is an authentic, honest, reliable and genuine human. She cares a lot about her horses, their property, the dogs and cats, the people she works with, her friends and she truly loves her husband Gary.
Equine by Design is a place where someone can go to not only learn how to ride horses but to also grow and heal from within.
Gary and JJ take great care of their home and the land surrounding. Their sweet attached apartment is cozy, quiet and a respite for someone looking for a place to call home.
I would recommend JJ and Gary without question. They both are truly amazing and giving humans that I’m grateful to know and you would, too!”
