Jennifer Ehrhardt

Western Riding Instructor 

Jennifer Ehrhardt brings a lifetime of experience, knowledge, and practical horsemanship to her training and lesson program. Riding since the age of five, Jennifer has extensive experience in both Western and English disciplines, along with years of hands-on experience training and showing horses. While living in Montana, Jennifer bred, raised, trained, and showed Foundation-bred Quarter Horses, developing a strong background in producing well-rounded horses from the ground up. Her experience with young and developing horses has shaped a training philosophy centered on patience, consistency, clear communication, and building a solid foundation. As an instructor, Jennifer focuses on developing confident, capable riders—not just passengers. She teaches students to understand their horse, communicate effectively, develop proper riding skills, and become knowledgeable horsemen both in and out of the saddle. Whether working with a young horse, helping a rider build confidence, refining an established horse-and-rider team, or preparing for the show ring, Jennifer believes lasting success comes from good fundamentals, good communication, and respect between horse and rider. Quality Horsemanship • Confident Riders • Better Horses
