ANNA JACOB:
Next Level HorsemanshipTM is proud to welcome Anna Jacob as the newest training apprentice and barn manager for 2012.
Anna has had a lifelong passion for horses and horsemanship and is interested in a wide variety of disciplines such as reining, eventing and dressage.
She has a history as an equestrian which includes endurance riding throughout the Mid-Atlantic, competing in Hunter/Jumper events, and giving riding lessons to many at various locations. Recently she began looking for ways to learn more about Natural and Classical Horsemanship – and her search led her to NLHTM
Currently a senior at the Pennsylvania State University majoring in Toxicology with minors in French and Global Health, Anna will graduate in May of 2012 and continue at NLHTM throughout the next year to pursue her apprenticeship and gain the experience and knowledge she is looking for as a trainer.
“As a volunteer here last year, Anna proved to have the ability to learn the timing, feel and balance necessary to become a exceptional horsewoman”, says Suzanne. “She is a strong rider and has the rare and raw talent needed to be successful as a horse trainer across disciplines.”
Anna is an exceptional person as well as an equine talent and we are excited to have her join the winning team at NLHTM.
Please join us in welcoming Anna Jacob to Next Level HorsemanshipTM!
LAUREN ROSS:
Lauren Ross began working at NLH™ while a student at The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA.
“I was interested in natural horsemanship methods to improve the relationship and abilities of my horse. I wanted to further improve my skills and learn more about both natural and classical horsemanship, so I became a training apprentice under Suzanne Myers, Founder, NLH™.
I dedicated my time to watching and learning the training techniques of Suzanne, eventually I had learned enough to participate in the training program with my own horse. As my training techniques improved, so did the relationship with my horse.”
During her training at NLH TM, Lauren had the opportunity to compete in various events including the 2009 Extreme Mustang Makeover, Eastern Stampede, in Murfreesboro, TN and the Supreme Extreme Mustang Makeover in Fort Worth, TX. She had 100 days to gentle and train a wild mustang in three areas; in-hand, (obstacles and trailer loading), under saddle, and a free-style competition to showcase specialty trick training and riding skills.
Lauren was a top 10 finalist among 100 other national competitors with her mustang, Durango, at the TN event and was a formidable contender in Fort Worth placing 28th overall out of more than 100 entries.
In addition to training horses, Lauren’s experiences at NLH™ included instructing others in the NLH™ Program, assisting with clinics and demonstrations at equine expositions throughout the country, and learning marketing and event management strategies.
After 2 years as a NLHTM apprentice Lauren worked as an assistant trainer for NLHTM for another 2 years and is now beginning her own business as a horse trainer in western Pennsylvania where she will be helping others to have fun and success with their horses. Best Wishes Lauren!
