Hello!

It has been my dream to combine my two passions together to help others with their fitness journeys into becoming better equestrian athletes

My name is Jamie, I’m a region 4 dressage rider and I live in Minnesota with my wonderful husband, two rescue dogs and my Danish Warmblood, Quilan.

I started my career as a therapeutic horse riding instructor and equine assisted Recreation Therapist after completing my masters degree in Texas. As a Certified Personal Trainer, Recreation Therapist, Youth Exercise Specialist and Equestrian Athlete, I am extremely passionate about promoting the mental and physical benefits of exercise and how it directly links to our performance in the saddle.

Through my platform, I wish to promote body inclusivity, diversity and non-diet culture in the Equestrian and Fitness industry. Haybales and Barbells is for anyone and everyone.

I am an athlete, therefore I need to train like one. I hope that through my various different equestrian specific fitness programs, I can help you achieve your fitness goals and become a better athlete for you and your horse!

Mission Statement.

Haybales & Barbells strives to provide accessible and affordable fitness programs for equestrians of all riding levels. Our mission is to educate equestrian athletes about why fitness training is beneficial for riders in and out of the saddle. More importantly, we strive to be advocates in creating a more diverse and inclusive environment for ALL equestrian athletes.
