Jessica Hein of Justin, Texas, is a lifelong horsewoman: she’s been taking riding lessons since age 8 and was active in 4-H before purchasing her first horse in 1999. Currently, Jessica’s teammate is Ozzerati, a 1998 bay overo Paint Horse gelding that she’s owned since 2005; they previously competed in the hunter-jumper ring before making the transition to Western dressage around 2010.
An active member of NAWD since 2013, Jessica and Ozzie can be found competing in NAWD’s virtual shows and TRAX programs. They especially enjoy the NAWD Trail and Ranch Horse events.
In “real life,” Jessica is the Senior Director of MemberCare and Publications for the American Paint Horse Association.
