Professional Horse Trainer
JJ Lavieri
USHJA Credentialed Trainer
JJ Lavieri grew up riding in his native Venezuela, where he trained and competed successfully alongside some of the region's top professionals. Eager to pursue his riding career to the highest levels, JJ moved to the United States in 1999.
With over 20 years of experience working at the highest levels of the industry, JJ has developed an excellent reputation as a skilled rider, trainer, and coach. He prides himself on his horsemanship and deep passion for the well-being of his equine partners.
As a forever student of the sport, JJ has developed his own riding career through the national Grand Prix level. His experience as a rider and competitor helps him prepare his students — mentally, and with proper training at home — for success in the show ring. JJ is well known for developing horses and riders to reach their highest potential through patience, consistency, and a proven training system that produces results.
“Somehow I find myself with the 'difficult' ones. Turns out, in the right conditions, they tell us what they need, we listen, and they thrive.”
— JJ Lavieri
