Horses have been a lifelong passion for Jordan Balkin. Growing up on her family’s horse farm in New York, she was introduced to the equestrian world at an early age and has spent more than 20 years competing on the AQHA and USEF circuits in both English and Western disciplines.
Today, Jordan combines her extensive equestrian experience with her professional background as a Doctor of Occupational Therapy and PATH International Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor. Her unique experience allows her to understand both the horse and rider while creating thoughtful, individualized experiences that promote confidence, independence, skill development, and a meaningful connection with the horse.
Through Balkin Equestrian, Jordan is passionate about sharing the benefits of horses with riders of all backgrounds and abilities. Whether through riding instruction, equestrian education, or therapeutic programming, her goal is to create a welcoming environment where every rider can learn, grow, and develop a lasting partnership with their horse.
