About the Trainer

Janice Orbaker has a lifetime of show horse experience. She started riding lessons while in kindergarten and began show competitions while in first grade. It was those very early years that convinced her that she wanted to devote her life to training and showing.

Janice began going to every show within riding distances of her home. Dedicated to her calling, she made every attempt to improve both herself, and her horses. Once a horse trailer was purchased, Janice began expanding her show experience.

She took all of this training and experience into her college life, and quickly established herself as a leader of the intercollegiate show horse team at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Janice and the team succeeded in back to back high points awards. A major accomplishment for the team, and for Janice and her career. Her college years were not only filled with the show team, but included in depth equine education and learning through course curriculum.  

Janice began her professional training and showing career in 1974. It was at that time the she began working with horse owners to deliver one-on-one personal training, and setting show goals for both their horses and the riders. Since then, Janice has continued to grow her clientele, and the show circuit, showing and winning at such prestigious events as the US Nationals, Canadian Nationals, and Scottsdale.

Her dedication to her craft continues to this day and will continue for years to come.
