Jack Burns is a Sonoma County California horse trainer who specializes in classical dressage and 3-day eventing.  Jack has been a professional trainer for over twenty years. He uses timeless and universal principles of horsemanship to develop each  horse’s natural abilities and create a harmonious and dynamic  relationship between horses and people.

Jack develops the natural abilities of each horse as well as the relationship between horse and rider. Through a systematic and gentle approach combined with a thorough understanding of the training continuum, he brings each horse to top physical and mental fitness. All horsemanship is based on the same principles of communication and improving mental and physical functionality. There is no limit to the refinement of these principles.

He creates a riding expression that is beautiful both to watch and experience.  Horsemanship is an art expressed through communication, and communication is based on understanding. This expression takes shape in all ways when we are around our horses, whether we are refining a difficult movement, jumping an obstacle, or just spending time with our horses in the pasture. Above all, we must take great care of our equine partners and appreciate the joy they bring to us.
