*About the clinician, Jill Barron-
Jill Barron is a World-renowned clinician, trainer, competitor, judge and coach. She received her Bachelor of Education, which elevates her ability to guide people on their horsemanship journey. The combination of her education and understanding of the horse, has given her an innate ability to breakdown the training process and communicate it in her teaching. Her forte is the details behind the biomechanics of both horse and rider.
Jill combines classical Dressage techniques and Natural Horsemanship in her training and teaching. The breadth of her knowledge is not limited to colt starting, ranch, roping or dressage, she is able to educate anyone who is interested in refining their riding. She empowers riders by equipping them with the skills and confidence to enhance their partnership with their equine. Her instruction aligns with the training goals for each individual rider, she shares transformative knowledge and embraces positivity.
Barron is a third-generation cattle rancher. Growing up on the ranch taught her about having a working relationship with her horse and developing that relationship became of the utmost importance. She has expanded her skill set into dressage to develop fine-tuned, confident horses. She believes horses have a universal language and it is our job to learn how to understand this language. Her focus is encouraging a deeper connection between horse and rider, within all disciplines and levels.

Her recent accomplishments include Championships at Haras Cup, Cross Nations Cup (Advanced), Andalusian World Cup (Advanced), Western Canada Regional Champion (Masters) and WEUSA National High Point Reserve Champion (Masters). She has accolades in the rodeo arena and has taken part in colt starting competitions and even rode in the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, CA. Barron has performed on her Lusitanos for large audiences across North America, showcasing the diversity and capability of the breed.
In 2024, her Lusitano, Cossaco, joined the prestigious Breyer family and was also awarded the International Lusitano Impact Award. He was honored for his positive impact and the awareness he has brought to the breed. For the past 11 years, Jill has been the horsemanship coach for the Calgary Stampede Showriders, an elite youth equestrian team, that perform at The Calgary Stampede and other international venues.
Jill’s life is consumed by horses. She has devoted herself to being a lifelong student of the horse and a positive, bright light in the horse industry.
