| Hello. My name is Jeanine Lowry. I live west of Fort Dodge, Iowa. This is where my husband, Matt, and I have chosen to raise our three young children. Born and raised in Iowa, I have always loved horses. I loved the obvious beauty, their regal, and powerful presence. Before I had a horse of my own, I would seek out any opportunity to work with horses. Fortunately, I was able to find neighbors and friends that would let me ride and help care for the horses they owned. I was involved in 4-H and showed in many open shows. I have ridden and competed in both English and Western style riding. I was also a member of the American Quarter Horse Association, and competed nationally with some very accomplished horsemen. My first horse was a Quarter Horse named Cruiser. He became the first horse I trained. I was 14 years old, and he was just green-broke. I attended every clinic and read all the literature available so that I could teach myself. That is not to say that I did not have great people willing to help me learn and improve upon my self-taught techniques. I am grateful for the people who have contributed their time and talents to teach me, and also grateful to have had the opportunity to ride with and learn from some of the best known, as well as some of the unsung heroes. Working with horses has been a journey for me, and I have been striving to improve upon what I have learned throughout my life to better my skills. I have enjoyed having horses in my life, no matter whether I am giving riding lessons, training horses, or just riding on the trails. Sometimes I like to just watch them, because you can learn so much from horses. I was continually looking for and reading about new ways to work with horses, because even though I had much success training them, there seemed to be something I was missing. I found out about Natural Horsemanship while watching RFD TV. I was impressed with Natural Horsemanship and explanation of horsemanship, and thus began my journey towards perfecting my own horsemanship. I studied any information I could get about Horsemanship and Natural Horsemanship. Good equitation/horsemanship (in any discipline) comes from being in harmony between a horse and rider, a spirit of oneness. Natural Horsemanship can help anyone achieve this type of harmony. Experiencing this relationship with your horse is an unbelievable feeling. It is amazing to see the changes in both horse and rider while working with Natural Horsemanship. I am excited to have an opportunity to be able to help others learn valuable information and improve their performance and relationship with their horses. As part of my own continuing education I am a Certified Riding Instructor with the American Association for Horsemanship Safety. I am a ISU Master Equine Manager and am working on my ARIA Certification. I also take classes and attend clinics to keep learning new skills and new or different ways of training horses or just learn about horses in general. I have become a distributer fro Agri Best Feeds after learning about their products. Never stop learning. Email me to schedule a clinic, or private lesson and get to know the whole family. I currently help with the Webster Co. 4H Horse Project Hippology Team, Quiz Bowl Team, and Judging Team. Read what JL Horsemanship customers are saying Testimonials... |
