Jezzie Lowe - Barn Owner, Lesson and Training
Program,
Registered Veterinary Technician,  CHA Certified
Riding Instructor, 4H Advisor
Member: American Paint Horse Association;
American Quarter Horse Association; Certified
Horsemanship Association,; Union County Horse
Council

Background: Jezzie has been riding and showing and has
owned horses since the age of 6. She started out at
Middleground Stables in Pataskala, Ohio, where she
learned Hunter Seat equitation under the instruction of Ann
Grossman. She rode competitively until she went to the
University of Dayton in 1990, where she earned her
Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice.  She
continued to ride as a hobby at barns in Dayton and Plain
City until three years ago.  She then started to teach her
daughter Maddie to ride. She decided that it was time to
fulfill her life-long dream of owning her own facility. Jezzie
graduated from the Vet Tech Institute in June 2007 and is
registered with the state of Ohio as a  Veterinary
Technician.  She successfully completed the  CHA
Certified Riding Instructor Clinic in August 2007. Jezzie's
plans for the future include becoming a Licensed Equine
Chiropractor and one day opening a Therapeutic Riding
facility. She currently volunteers at the Union County
Humane Society.

Teaching Philosophy: Her goal was to open a fun,
family-oriented, affordable lesson barn in the area, where
kids AND their parents, along with new adult riders, could
learn to ride and take care of these wonderful animals. At
Harvest Moon Acres it is not all about who has the most
expensive horse, about just jumping on and riding, or who
can win the most ribbons. It is about learning how much
horses fulfill and enrich our lives, and about bringing
families and friends closer together through their love of
horses. She has been influenced  by riding greats George
Morris and Julie Goodnight.

In her own words: " Having a barn of my own has been a
life-long dream of mine. I'm amazed every time I look out
my kitchen window and see what we have accomplished. I
am even more amazed when I see a child's eyes when they
are in the saddle for the first time, or when I see one of my
adult students accomplish a much-sought-after canter. We
are truly blessed that these glorious animals allow us to be
a part of their lives. I can't imagine my life without horses,
and I am so thankful that I have the means by which to share
my passion with those around me."



Rocky Lowe, Barn Owner, Boarding
Services
Rocky was born and raised on this family farm. He
participated in FFA and Vocational Agriculture in high
school, and graduated from Wilmington College in 1989
with a Bachelors of Science in Agriculture Business. His
combined eight years of education in agriculture,  his
hands-on experience with crop production and livestock
care,  pasture management, formulation of feed rations on
the farm, and sixteen years of horse ownership make him a
very big asset to Harvest Moon Acres! He is responsible
for the building and maintenance of the farm, as well as
managing the feeding program,  and overall operation of
the boarding program.

















Amy Hoelscher
Riding Instructor, Trainer, 4H Advisor,
Vet Tech student

Amy grew up in Nebraska , riding and training her own
horses her entire life.  She started showing at the age of 12
in both Hunter Under Saddle and Western disciplines.  She
worked for a breeding facility for a year, learning about
care and nutrition of mare and foals.  She moved to Ohio in
2003 and started college pursuing a degree in Vet
Technology.  She was a member of 4-H for 7 years and is
now an advisor for the Hardin County Horsemen.  While in
4-H, she won numerous awards including second place in
Western Showmanship and seventh place in Western
Pleasure at the Ohio State Fair in 2004.

Teaching Philosophy:  To safely learn how to care for and
ride horses.  Riding is about helping the person to become
a partner with the horse rather than just a rider.  By
understanding their movement and thinking, a rider can
develop a relationship with the horse and work together, all  
the while, learning to have FUN!
