It is incredibly hard to find a horse trainer that you can trust 100% with your horse, especially when they are a challenging case. The horse I sent to Jenn is as sensitive and reactive as they come. To add to the challenge, he is a stallion

and was basically raised as a wildie until he was 2 years old. 

He had a deep distrust of humans and a very high level of self preservation. He experienced bad initial experiences with surcingles and saddles that resulted in him developing a strong bucking reaction as his go-to fight/flight response. Essentially, due to the magnitude of challenge, I was more worried about Jenn’s wellbeing versus his when she willingly took him on. Success with this guy wouldn’t have been possible without Jenn’s ability to read and understand horse body language and behavior, as well as their individual personalities and motivations. 

In addition, her acceptance to work on the horse’s timeline, and having more patience than most in order to do so, was absolutely critical to achieve true relaxation in a very tense and suspicious horse. It was clear Jenn would never compromise the necessary process needed by each horse in order to achieve quicker results. She has the patience, presence, and wisdom to allow the horse space and time to find comfort and relaxation throughout its training. This allows a horse to truly learn and also be present, rather than being coerced to be an obedient, mentally shutdown robot (which really seems to be the end product in most training programs). 

The end result is a content horse that keeps its personality and becomes your partner versus your machine. These are the qualities of Jenn’s training that make her truly one in a million.

My experience with Savvy Arabians has been phenomenal. Jenn came highly recommended to me. I told her my horse experience, what I was looking for and hoping to accomplish with my new horse. She gave me a few different options of horses she had available, that ticked all the boxes I was looking for. 

I cannot stress enough how she absolutely nailed exactly the horse for me. All the information she gave me was bang on about the horse, no surprises. She is honest and up front. And patiently answered all my questions in detail. 

His price was more than fair, in my opinion. The transaction, organizations of trailering and paperwork was done quickly and flawlessly. Her follow up was very caring and thoughtful.

I have the most superb horse, ever. His training is impeccable on the ground and in saddle. Jenn at Savvy Arabian will be my first choice if I am ever looking to buy another horse. 

If your looking an Arabian that is healthy, gorgeous, sensible and looking for an honest, easy to deal with person...You need to check out Savvy Arabians, I'll be recommending them to anyone looking for an Arabian without hesitation!

We adopted Paladin, our 31" miniature horse November 2014....Paladin came to us  completely wild! He had been left on his own with another mini, in a field for 8 years with minimal human touch, and the touch he did get was not positive for him.  

It took 3 people to "catch " Paladin just to trailer him to us.... for a few months we tried a few different approaches but this handsome little guy was still not willing to let us any where near him, he jumped and bucked at all noises, and ran away from any human  contact.

We contacted Jen, whom we have watched with her own very well mannered, well cared for horses, knowing she came  with years of horse behavioral and care background, and asked her to help us with Paladin.

In less than a month, we are thrilled to say...Jen had Pally halter broke, enjoyed being brushed, was desensitized to different sights,sounds and situations, allowing him to show  a very gentle side around other animals  and now  loves to be around people...best of all...he now trots up to us when we enter his pen, and awaits his hiney scratches!!!!  

In one month Jen was able to teach Paladin to trust through gentle, firm, consistent and patient handling and has opened up his world .....Jen taught us approaches and techniques that she had tested and perfected with Paladin, allowing us to be consistent with the fantastic work she was doing with him.

We are thrilled to now have Jen working with our 17hh Thoroughbred, Liam, and are so excited to see and learn how his quality of life, can also be improved with Jen's confident hands, not to mention the techniques we will learn during his training!  

We can not thank Jen enough for her knowledge, care, patience (and it took alot with Paladin ) and kindness throughout our journey any horse and owner that works with Jen is truly lucky!

 I have watched Jenn work with many different types of horses and problems and I have never seen someone love what they do as much as Jenn. She does an amazing job!
