South Lake Farm, Huntersville NC

Jessy Winfield - Head Trainer

Jessy's forté is teaching riders how to feel the connection with their equine partner in order to bring about the best possible performance in the show ring as well as at home. She instills in her students the idea that success is best obtained through the combination of dedication, consistency and a correct position. She has the innate ability to teach all levels from young riders to those still "young at heart." While utilizing a common-sense approach aimed at the rider's skill level, Jessy's use of positive reinforcement to achieve balanced seat technique results in a tailored lesson program that benefits all riders.

Originally from Easton, PA, Jessy Hageter Winfield moved to the Charlotte area in July of 1983. Through her dedication and love of the sport, she became a well-known junior rider in USEF Zone 3 A-rated competitions. She specialized in equitation, and also excelled in the Hunter ring which led to opportunities as catch rider, trainer, coach and barn manager. Jessy has been with the Southlake Family since May of 2003. She combines 18 years of experience with a true passion for total horsemanship, which results in the ability to bring out the best in riders of all ages.

Maria brings 35 years of diverse equestrian experience to South Lake Farm. A graduate of Potomac Horse Center MD, Maria is Senior Instructor Certified. Her certifications include dressage, cross country and stadium jumping.
