The Jaz Creek Team
Jeanette Gilbert: Jeanette has been involved with horses from a young age and has spent the last 25 years learning as much as possible to improve her skills. As an avid competitor on the A-circuit Jeanette has shown through the Young Riders level (1.45m) of show jumping, successfully jumping the trials with her horse Final Act. Success was also found in the equitation rings, qualifying for local medal finals and earning top 10 finishes as a junior. Jeanette currently focuses on showing the horses bred by Jaz Creek, along with a few sale horses. Almost 15 years ago Jeanette bred her first horse “Donna” who has since gone on to have foals of her own with her current owner.
Through the years Jeanette has had the honor of riding with and working beside many top horsemen and credits all of them with helping continue to learn everything she can to help horses have satisfying careers. These include Buddy Brown, Mike Henaghan, Bernie Traurig, Leslie Steele, Elizabeth Kilham, James Kearnan, and too many amazing clinicians to list!

Angel has worked for Jaz Creek ever since we opened our current farm over 10 years ago. His background with racehorses has proven invaluable in handling rambunctious foals and rehabilitation horses. Angel and his family live on property and he cares for all of the horses on the farm as though they are his own.
