Jeanne Biroc

Western Riding

Let me introduce myself-I'm Jeanne Biroc.
I've been riding horses since I was around seven years old. As a child, I rode all types of horses in both English and Western disciplines. I competed in equitation, hunters, and jumpers with both my own horses and those owned by others. Later, I acquired a Quarter Horse, which I trained and competed with in Western riding, Gymkhana, barrel racing, team penning, and sorting.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of training many horses and riders, several of whom have gone on to compete successfully.

In addition to my equestrian experience, I've spent over 20 years teaching computer applications to children and adults in schools across New Jersey and New York.

I'm excited to be working with the Western riding students at Allaire. I love seeing students grow in their knowledge, skills, and confidence around horses!
