Instructor: Jessica Muschalla has loved horses ever since she remembers, started horseback riding at a young age and rode Shetland ponies bareback in her neighbourhood. Moved up a couple of horse sizes and had many years English riding lessons abroad. Took a break when she moved to Canada and her kids arrived on the scene but has since started to actively horseback ride at Aurora Farm for some years now and has been coached by the “house” coach, Zona May.
