About Jason:
Jason started riding as a teenager with Sarah Irvine in Raphine,
Virginia. After that, he went on to work for Olin Armstrong.
He gained valuable insight and expertise training and showing young
TBs. He also worked for Chris Wynne in Virginia Beach showing
client horses. He then accepted a job offer from Danny
Robertshaw in Camden, South Carolina. After traveling the
circuit and spending the winter in Wellington, Jason decided it was
time for him to come back home to Virginia. He worked for
Phyllis Jones in Crozet, Virginia while starting his own business.
He also worked for Mr. Wheeler at Cismont Manor Farm.
After 2 years of showing horses for Cismont,
he chose to concentrate on bringing his own horses along and
building his own business. With the knowledge that he has
gained working with some of the greats in the hunter industry, he is
now operating his own very successful training, showing and
importation/sales business. Jason has taken great interest in
bloodlines and has found that pedigree can be very important in
evaluating a horse's potential to do his job.
About Alisa:
Jason married Alisa, who grew up riding with Sally and Olin
Armstrong. She attended Sweet Briar College, riding throughout
her four years there. After graduation, Alisa worked for SBC
as a riding fellow, teaching beginner-intermediate riding courses
