About Jessica Jo (JJ) Tate:
A top International Grand Prix Dressage rider and trainer, JJ has been competing at the highest levels for over 25 years. She holds herself to the highest standards to train with integrity and without shortcuts, adhering to the classical dressage principles that are aligned with how horses think, move, and learn. She has successfully trained dozens of horses up the levels and has competed over 30 horses at the FEI levels with many notable accomplishments throughout her career. A highly sought-after clinician, JJ is a gifted teacher who happily works with any horse and rider at any level, sharing her program based on humane, compassionate, and systematic development of the horse through classical dressage. JJ created her USDF University-accredited online training program, Team Tate Academy, because she believes everyone should have access to high-level training and education regardless of where they live or what kind of horse they ride.
