Sponsorship: Eventing is an expensive sport and in order to make to the international level, Jessika has to compete at rated shows and attend clinics to further her riding. The cost of training, competitions, travel, veterinary care, and other expenses, plus multiple trips away from home and lost income from teaching and training business. Great sponsorship and the support of owners and friends can help make it all possible!
Meet The Horses:
Husker Cat aka Rooster: Rooster is a 5 year old OTTB that Jess galloped at Prairie Meadows when he was 3 years old. When the trainer offered him to her, she jumped on the opportunity and took him home. He ponied races for her as a 4 year old. After the track season was over, Rooster got introduced to some jumping and a couple weeks later went on his very first cross-country schooling with the help of Jess' coach Laura. The following day Rooster did his very first starter combined training. After some time off to recoup from a long summer of ponying Rooster has started back in training for the up coming show season.
Otto's Dream Otto is a 7 year old OTTB that Jess also got to know while working at the racetrack. She was Otto's groom for a trainer that she worked for at Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, OK. Last summer Otto went for a couple months to LR Eventing, a coach Jess works with as often as she can. While in training Otto did his first little combined training show with one of Laura's students before coming back home. Jess did two little shows with Otto to finish off the season and after he got a little break, he is getting ready for the 2020 show season.
