About
JMJ Sporthorses is a team effort. Jaclyn grew up showing in the hunter-jumper world and continues to do so, while Ernesto works on the race track, training and breaking young racehorses. By joining these diverse sets of skills, JMJ Sporthorses is able to come at each horse with a diversity of perspective and experience. This approach helps us critically assess each horse and select only the most promising prospects.
Jaclyn has many years of experience riding on the local and AA hunter jumper circuit. She has a particular fondness for green thoroughbreds. By meeting their physical needs and providing a low-stakes, quiet learning environment, she believes that many OTTBs can be just as competitive in the show ring as their warmblood counterparts. She has worked to develop a strong eye for selecting horses that will thrive in show homes.

Ernesto has years and years of experience on the racetrack. Holding a race-track industry degree from the University of Arizona, he has an in depth understanding of how horses are started and maintained on the track. As such, he can often help bridge the gap in the retraining process and ensure that the horse is completely understanding the new expectations of a second career. His connections on the racetrack help JMJ Sporthorses to source sound and sane horses.
