Jessica Richards brings over 25 years of experience riding, training, and competing with horses. Raised in Washington State, she developed a lifelong passion for horsemanship and performance early on, launching her show career in 1995 through 4-H, Zone, APHA, and Pinto competitions across both Western and English disciplines.

In the early 2000s, Jessica broadened her skill set by exploring additional disciplines, including barrel racing, breakaway roping, and ranch sorting, further deepening her versatility as a horsewoman. In 2020, she began her professional teaching career at Spring Creek Stables, where she provided Western and English instruction to riders of all ages and experience levels.

​

Jessica joined the Todd Martin Performance Horse team in 2023, where she continues to train and show horses in reining and ranch riding while offering lessons to beginner and intermediate riders.

A two-time Pinto Canadian National Champion in Dressage and Showmanship, Jessica has earned numerous Register of Merits with Pinto, collected multiple paychecks in barrel racing and sorting, and is currently working toward her first reining championship.
