Jamie Waters is a beautifully trained rider who focuses on what the horse and rider truly need. She has worked for most of her riding career as a Hunter/Jumper rider and trainer but recently made the switch to Dressage where she really feels like she can make her mark in the horse world.
Jamie has spent time working on the Ocala circuit for a Grand Prix jumper team. This was followed by working for Silver Creek Sporthorses, a top breeding operation. At Silver Creek she was the young horse trainer bringing along and showing future hunter, jumper, and dressage champions. Jamie also had the wonderful opportunity to work with some of the top stallions including some that continued their jumping career in Europe. While she was working at Silver Creek she really enjoyed working with the stallions and found a passion in training them. Upon returning to Illinois Jamie worked with Nation cup jump rider Mariano Bedoya as well as Grand Prix jumper rider Thomas Cerra.
She is continuing her riding education with top dressage instructors from around the world. She takes part in many clinics and works weekly with other trainers. In her first dressage show season Jamie competed all the way from 1st to 3rd level on a horse she has trained herself and is looking forward to starting this show season at 4th and PSG.
Jamie is a confident rider and trainer who is always looking to work with any horse and/or rider, no matter the difficulty. She prides herself on being able to feel what the horse needs and to train her horses with the best European influence to develop top horses.
