Meet Our Trainer
Rachel Jansen Jones, Owner and USHJA Certified Trainer
Coach – ASU Equestrian Team
In 1998, Rachel transformed her passion and expertise into reality by founding Crossroads Farm. With over 15 years of experience working and showing at top hunter/jumper barns across Arizona and the Midwest, she identified a unique need in the East Valley: an “A” Circuit barn dedicated to teaching Juniors and Amateurs not just riding and showing, but comprehensive horsemanship.
“Our riders win at the State and Zone levels, but they also know how to bandage a leg, lunge their own horse, or treat a sick horse.”
Rachel’s impressive credentials include serving as the President of the Arizona Hunter Jumper Association for 2 terms and is currently on the board of the AHJA, a member of the United States Equestrian Federation, the United States Hunter Jumper Association, and the Arizona Hunter Jumper Association. Her students and horses have consistently captured prestigious year-end awards with the USEF, AHJA, and USHJA. Some of the highlights include winning the Sallie B. Wheeler Yearling Hunter Breeding Championship West Coast, coming in 3rd in the International Hunter Futurity Finals in Kentucky in the under saddle, winning the International Hunter Futurity West Coast Reserve Championship, qualifying Juniors for the National Junior Hunter Championship as well as the National Pony Finals, and numerous year-end Championships in the rated Hunter/Jumper Divisions, from Baby Greens, to 2nd Year Greens, to Junior Hunters, to Junior/Amateur Jumpers.
Crossroads Farm attends about 15-20 “A” rated shows each year, from AZ, to CA, to NM, as well as numerous schooling shows, so all levels of riders can achieve their goals. The farm also hosts schooling shows, warmblood inspections, and clinics with world-famous riders and trainers each year.
Rachel is a USHJA-certified trainer and proudly coaches the ASU IHSA Equestrian Team, bringing her wealth of knowledge and passion to the next generation of riders.
