Welcome to Michelle Jerry  Heart & Hooves Horsemanship 

​

At Michelle Jerry Heart & Hooves  Horsemanship, we believe great horsemanship is built on communication, confidence, and trust. Led by Michelle Jerry, Ken McNabb Master Trainer, Heart & Hooves is dedicated to helping horses and riders develop clear, willing partnerships—both on the ground and in the saddle.

 

We are not your traditional horsemanship program.
Our values and commitment go far beyond techniques and training schedules.

At Heart & Hooves, we focus on the horse and rider as individuals, prioritizing true partnership, connection, and bonding built on respect, understanding, and trust. Our programs are intentionally designed to create well-rounded horses and confident, capable riders. From Liberty, Ranch Riding, Advanced Horsemanship, and Advanced Ground Control to clinics, youth programs, and immersive South Dakota retreats, everything we offer supports the whole horse and the whole rider.

​

Whether your goal is showing, ranch riding, trail riding, or simply enjoying a safe, trusted partner, our training prepares you and your horse to succeed in whatever direction you choose. We focus on solid foundations that transfer across disciplines, giving horses the confidence, softness, and understanding needed for real-world situations.

​

Michelle’s approach is rooted in continual education and mentorship from industry leaders such as Ken McNabb and Josh Lyons, combined with practical, real-life application. Every horse and rider is met where they are, encouraged to grow, and supported every step of the way.

​

As Heart & Hooves continues to grow, we are proud to have expanded into a team of Accredited Trainers working alongside Michelle across the country. This allows us to reach and serve more horses and riders while maintaining the same standards, values, and quality of horsemanship that Heart & Hooves is known for.

​

More than a training program, Heart & Hooves is a community—a place where riders of all levels feel supported, inspired, and empowered. Here, knowledge is shared, confidence is built, and meaningful partnerships are formed.

Welcome to Heart & Hooves—where horsemanship has heart, progress has purpose, and your journey with your horse truly begins.
