Start or continue your horse journey with Jane Fucinaro at Coda Cavallo. With over 20 years of riding experience, and 8+ years as a professional in the industry, Jane teaches riders from ages 5+ the basics (and beyond!) of horsemanship, care and riding.

Jane is a United States Dressage Federation (USDF) Bronze Medalist, USDF Certified Instructor/Trainer through Second Level, and fully insured for teaching and training. She has spent time on an Oldenburg breeding farm working with young horses and stallions. Jane began working with Sarah and Clayton Martin of Taka Chi Dressage (CO/FL) in 2014. Sarah and Clayton graciously offered a spot in their Professional's Clinic in Blanca, CO, simulating a USDF Instructor Certification. Here and in several clinics at home, Jane was able to meet horsemanship expert, Pete Rodda, and fine tune her groundwork skills, as well as Janice Dulak, creator and author of "Pilates for the Dressage Rider," giving Jane an excellent insight to the rider's seat and it's affect on the horse. She now continues to work with local trainer, Shan Lawton. With years of studying "Masterson Method" Equine Bodywork and Massage, she is able to recognize and address the bio-mechanics of the horse. Realizing that you're never too good to stop learning, Jane seeks out riding and auditing opportunities whenever possible.
