ABOUT
JayaMae Gregory was introduced to the art and discipline of horseback riding at the age of 5, when her mother took her for her first lesson. As a child, she rode on the East Coast, in New England, as a hunter-jumper rider. When she graduated high school, she began teaching beginner lessons at a barn in Anaheim Hills, California, in order to earn free lessons for herself. She has trained with Brian Bodarke of Brookhaven Farm in Chico, California. Currently, she is working with David Lichman, a licensed 5-star Parelli Natural Horsemanship instructor, who specializes in gaited horses. She also takes private lessons with Sheri Balken of Paradise, CA.

JayaMae Gregory
JayaMae is a mother, a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a friend. She is currently a student at California State University, Chico, where she is primarily studying Nursing, Health Education, and Religion. She is a published poet, and author, featured in a collection of short stories titled Promoting Intergenerational Health. Jaya has worked extensively with children of all different backgrounds, through animal and art therapy. In 2008, she founded the nonprofit organization, Spirit Quilts.
Jaya does not consider herself a teacher or a trainer, although she is often referred to as such. She has a hunger for knowledge and finds out every day that she is just who she wants to be - a student. Her passion is simply to share and pass on her love for horses and her love of art.

There is no human relationship that could ever take the place of the relationship she has with her horse - it is unique, it is special, and communication is done without words, but with feelings.
