I have been training with Jaime since 2005. When we first started working together, Jaime helped me prepare for the year-end championships at First Level. At that time I already had a strong desire to ride the upper levels. Since then, Jaime and I have worked together to bring myself and my horse from First Level up to Intermediate I. Jaime played a key role in our progress, and she has always kept me very involved in the training process. Jaime has provided me with many opportunities to improve my riding. I went to Florida with her for part of the winter season in 2008 and 2009. She has encouraged me to participate in clinics with well-known clinicians. Thanks to Jaime, I have also had the chance to work with Michael Barisone. Jaime knows that I want to make a living working with horses. She has given me opportunities to teach lessons and ride many different horses- experiences that will benefit me in the future. I know from experience that Jaime works to help each rider and horse reach their potential and accomplish their goals.

I have been riding with Jaime Topinka Nunn for almost 6 years, in that time going from a complete beginner to working on training level dressage, with the intention of showing for the first time, at intro level, this season. Jaime has guided me through the purchase of two great horses and has taught both myself and my daughter the basics of riding with patience and dedication, always teaching through emphasizing the positive, giving us both the confidence to grow as riders. She has given me a solid foundation upon which to continue to build my skills in dressage. I would recommend Jaime as a great teacher and coach to anyone, without hesitation.

I am 52 years old and have loved horses all my life. I rode when I was a kid but only on trails and had never had lessons until I met Jaime. I met Jaime in 2006 and began taking lessons with her on a school horse named Daisy. I rode Daisy for about six months and loved her and my lessons. That summer Jaime took Daisy and I to our first horse show. It was only a schooling show but we won four out of four classes and I was hooked. Daisy was not mine so, I loved riding so much that, I decided to buy my own horse. It took a while to find the horse of my dreams but I finally did and in April of 2008 began training with Jaime again. She had her hands full with a young horse and a green rider but she wouldn't let us give up and she didn't give up on us. Under her coaching we ended up winning the Great American Championships at training level in 08, was 5th at the BLM's at 1st level and won an adult amateur championship in 09 and numerous blue ribbons along the way. This year, climbing up the levels, we are showing at 2nd level and preparing for 3rd. I am very excited and looking forward to the fun this season will bring. Jaime has been a great teacher, she is patient and supportive and because of her and Raven, I feel like I have found my life's passion at 52 years old.

When I first started working with Jaime, I didn’t have an ounce of dressage knowledge and sat atop a young, spooky horse. But Jaime, patient and determined, completely transformed my riding and my horse’s riding. She is extremely experienced and effective, using exactly the right tools to accomplish our goals. Each lesson is unique, and with her training expertise and upbeat personality, I always leave the barn with a sense of personal achievement.
