Rebecca Rodriguez
Owner
I have been working with horses for over 15 years, in the primary discipline of English. In 2009 I received my first horse Rosie and through the years, as Rosie got older I began to explore other Equestrian facilities, and began working with other trainers. I received schooling in Dressage, riding on level 3 horses with Heidi Erickson and currently school under Michelle Sheridan on my beloved Andalusian, Sebastian. Having established Rebecca's Equine Service in 2016, I continue to work in the Equine Industry and enjoy the ability to meet and care for a wide range of horses.

Darian S.
Company Manager & Certified Equine Massage Therapist
Howdy! I’ve been riding barrels, poles and gymkhana for over 12 years I also rode with CGA California Gymkhana Association. Worked under a trainer for many years where I was able to help and work with starting young green horses. I've also worked as a groom at hunter jumper barns and also started ranch sitting and exercising horses on my own while I lived in California. I love to continue my education in the equine world, with over 50 hours of schooling I more recently received my certification as an Equine Sports Massage Therapist in 2021.

Bethany M.
Barn Manager & Trainer
Hello, my name is Bethany, and I have been involved in the horse industry for over ten years, instructing students and training horses. The majority of my experience is in the jumpers having competed in all three rings, additionally I have some basic western pleasure experience as well as Dressage. I am currently continuing my education by schooling with an FEI trainer.
My training background began in horse rescues, where I focused on rehabilitating and retraining horses. For the past decade, I have specialized in starting and developing green horses, taking them to their first shows, and finding them suitable long-term homes. In recent years, my primary focus has been restarting OTTBs, as well as starting several young horses through the RES program.
In addition to training and riding, I have over ten years of stablehand and horse care experience from my time as a working student, which later became my role throughout college. This foundation has given me a strong understanding of daily horse management, care, and overall welfare.

Olivia B.
Horse Sitter, Groom & Trainer
Hey! I’m from New Hampshire and grew up across the street from a private eventing barn. I started hunter lessons when I was 5 years old then, we had moved to florida when I was 9 years old. When we got here I instantly starting jumping and did a few local shows. Earlier this year I started leasing a green appendix who had some behavioral issues but in just a few weeks we solved the bucking and shortly after he was happily doing small cross rails! With the experiences I have been lucky to tackle so far I would definitely say my appendix has been by far my favorite and best achievement.

Jonna S.
Horse Sitter & Exerciser
Hi! I’m originally from Finland and have spent 25 years in the equine industry. My family moved to Ocala 1.5 years ago, and I feel lucky to call this beautiful place home.
I was 10 when I started riding and 14 when I got into harness racing, where most of my equine experience comes from. I’ve studied equine sciences, sport horse care, and training techniques in Finland, and what I love most about horses is that there's always something new to learn.
My experience includes starting yearlings in harnesses, behavior science, retraining retired racehorses, and working with therapy horses. All my own horses have been retired Standardbreds. I’m passionate about helping others and giving my all to this work.
In addition to horses, I also have experience with other livestock and dream of having my own mini cattle someday!

Meghan H.
Horse Sitter & Exerciser
Hi! I was born and raised in central Florida. My love for horses started at 3 years old when my mom first put me on a horse. I’ve been riding in both western and english disciplines since 8 years old. I’ve owned my own horses since 2018. Shortly after, my family and i started a rescue where we now have 20 horses. I have been working as a horse groom and specializing in horse care since 2019. My love for horses goes farther than riding them for fun. I also have love for the care for horses health, comfort, and mental health. I love meeting new horses and new people!
