Ms. Janice is the Lady Horse Whisperer ~ a woman in a field dominated by men.  For more than 30 years (not that we’re giving her age away) she has worked in the equine industry in a number of capacities including: instructor, trainer, breeder, stable manager, barn owner, feed store owner (that was way too much work!), horse show manager, open show judge, horse show announcer, columnist, consultant, and has been retained as an expert in her field to give testimony in a court of law.

She has conducted lectures and seminars throughout the U.S. and Europe, and has clients as far ranging as England and Germany to Egypt.  As an international trainer and author, Janice has lectured and/or trained NASA scientists, equine police units, corporate management, schools (both private and public), and worked with Hollywood’s top “A” list.

In addition to gender, what separates Janice from the rest of the herd is that she brings the “horse whispering” out of the closet so to speak ~ out of the round pen to the back of the horse and every aspect of the handling of the horse.  She breaks everything down into easy to understand steps.

In addition to the training of horse and rider, Janice is quite passionate about teaching others about the healing aspect of the horse.  She conducts seminars called ‘Medicine Ponies”, where she teaches others how to use horses to heal humans.  This is also the topic of the first book she is writing, though she has 8 others coming after this one.

Janice lives in Houston, Texas with her dog, 2 cats and 3 horses. She has 3 grandchildren, and loves to point out that her son “grew up to be a clown”.  (Her son is a professional entertainer.)  She has a fondness for all of nature, and resonates with Native American Wisdom.  She has been trained by a Native American Shaman in high standing, and has been given the name of “Talking Horse” in ceremony.
