Jere Johnson was raised in Colorado and has many years of horse experience, His parents ran a boarding stable near Denver and Jere learned to ride when he was very young. He started training horses when he was a teenager. When he went to college, he worked in sale barns and on ranches on horseback to pay his tuition. When he married, he worked on ranches in Colorado, Nebraska , and Texas.
During the time he was working for other people he used the "normal" way of breaking and training. Finally in the 70's he saw a Ray Hunt clinic and his eyes were opened to another, better way of training. He started going to clinics put on by other "natural" trainers and incorporated some of their methods.
In May of 2005, he went to one of Pat and Linda Parelli's Tour Stops and was inspired to learn their methods. He assessed his Level 1 and Level 2 with a Parelli 3 Star instructor and is now working on filming his Level 3.
Jere's philosophy now follows the natural teachings of Ray Hunt, the Dorrance Brothers, Dennis Reis, and Pat Parelli. His approach is to look at the horse's point of view and then teach the rider how to build a relationship with the horse.
Jere is known for his upbeat and emphatic way of teaching. He specializes in teaching the beginning and fearful rider.
