About the Trainer

Jenny Strausbaugh

Born and raised Alaskan.

Hobbies include riding horses, snowboarding, hunting, fishing, and hiking.

Started riding horses at one year of age and never stopped. She began rodeo in Alaska in 2000 at the ripe age of 10, quickly finding her love for barrel racing. She trained her first winning rodeo horse at age 10 and took in her first client horse at age 21. Ever since, she has been training horses “on the side” of her full-time job and raising a family of 4 kids.

In 2020 she launched her horse training business (Strausbaugh Performance Horses) to the public, bringing her many years of knowledge and experience to Alaskans. She believes in getting the youth involved in horse sports and sharing knowledge. Supporting this she is a member of local horse associations and promotes positivity and excellent sportsmanship to her peers.

Her core values are honesty, trust, hard work, reliability, willingness to learn, and a can-do attitude. Through hard work, consistency, and determination she strives to one day travel outside of Alaska and barrel race on a professional level.

“Sent my colt to Jenny and was not disappointed! He finished his 30 days soft, supple, quite. I would never ride him alone prior to his 30 days. Upon his return my first ride on him there was no other horses around and he was perfect! Jenny was always sure to communicate, I absolutely recommend her!”

“I've sent two of my horses to Jenny for training. One for a tune-up, which she was able to address a saddle fit issue that fixed a lot of the problems we were having. The other one was for a 30 day start. Both times I brought my horses home, they were soft and supple in the bit, and more responsive to leg ques than they were previously. I highly recommend sending your horse to her, especially if you are interested in performance or just having a really great foundation on your horse.”

“Our daughter is 12 years old. 3 years ago we bought a skinny, underfed, barely broke-to-ride, nag with papers to die for. She bucked our daughter off so bad she wouldn’t get back on her for a while. Jenny said, “I’ll ride that horse for you.” 3 years later Jenny (and our daughter) have shaped this horse into a buckle winning barrel racer. She’s an awesome trail horse too. All around great horsemanship is all that we asked for!
Thank you Jenny!”
