For as long as she can remember, Debbie Jamsa has loved horses. Today, Debbie is living her dreams as the owner and head trainer of Happy's Dream Ranch.

After building their first ranch in Houston Texas 10 years ago, Debbie began her teaching career after a trainer she was working with asked if she would be interested in helping with her students. She quickly realized that her love and passion for horses was not just for riding, but it was to also share those values with others. Debbie immediately fell in love with teaching. After moving to Arizona, she continued to teach and studied to expand her riding and education. Debbie received certification through the American Riders Instructors Association and currently certified with the United States Hunter Jumper Association. In addition, after many years of study, Debbie has been approved by the United States Equestrian Federation as a 'r' Judge Licensed in Hunters and Hunter Equitation. She continues to work with and to inspire our students to develop better horsemanship as well as becoming better riders.

Fulfilling another life long dream, Debbie and her husband Kris founded the Sanctuary at Happy's Dream Ranch. The 36 acre facility cares for Retirement and Rehab horses as well as performance horses that just need to rest. Having the opportunity to care for these wonderful animals is not only a dream, but a way to give something back to them for all the years of service and unconditional love they provided for their owners.

The Happy's Dream Ranch motto: Believe in your dreams and others will believe in you tells much of the Happy's Dream Ranch story

Debbie leads an outstanding team at Happy's Dream Ranch.

Starting at day one of training with either a young horse or tune up on an older animal, Lizz encourages participation from the owner at each stage. Explaining through demonstration, she strives to impress on all her clients the importance of the relationship between the owner and the horse, not the trainer and the horse. By giving the owner the tools to continue the work with their own horse she increases their independence as they grow as horse people. It's your horse - Enjoy it! Lizz Blaum formed ZZ Training, LLC with the goal of promoting a harmonious connection between horse and rider partnerships in the Prescott, AZ area. Lizz evaluates behavioral problems, starts horses under saddle, and gives lessons to the owner to further their own horsemanship journey.

My goal is to teach children and adults to learn how to ride with confidence and skill. The first criteria is everything is done in the safest manner possible for both student and horse.
Everyone learns from the ground up and at their own speed. We have lots of fun things for children to do such as pony camps, games, and special events. Trail riding for adults. The horses are size appropriate ranging from Shetland ponies up to 14'3" You can bring your horse if you would like to work with him. We will take students as young as 2 and you are never too old.

If you are an adult and want to learn to ride for the first time, we'd be happy to teach you. If you rode years ago and want to ride again but would like to renew your skills, we will help you. If you have encountered some fear because of an accident but want to work through it and get back on your horse, we can get that done.

I have over 30 years experience in training both horses and people with a multitude of references. Many of our riders have gone on to big competitions. I can help you with almost any horse skill or problem.

I also take horses in for training for whatever skill you'd like them to learn.

Please call and give me the opportunity to answer your questions and see how I can help you.
