About

Welcome to Barton Equine

Barton Equine is located in Little River, Victoria, Australia.  Our primary focus is producing and campaigning quality young showjumping horses from 3 & 4 year olds through to Grand Prix level.

Jess grew up in Warrnambool, Victoria, the home of jumps racing in Australia.  Her career began in the show ring at age 7 and she spent years travelling the country competing.  Her love of Thoroughbreds started as a teenager producing and campaigning a number of horses off the track through to Horse of the Year and Royal Show wins.  After winning the 2006 Barastoc Horse of the Year at age 18, Jess decided to retire from the show ring, this is when her showjumping career commenced.

In 2008 Jess groomed for Laurie Lever at the Beijing Olympics, held in Hong Kong gaining much exposure into what it takes to manage horses as athletes travelling and competing at the highest level. Jess has worked and trained with a number of top Showjumping riders and trainers around Australia and Germany

Jess is now a Grand Prix and World Cup Showjumper who is renowned for her ability to educated and produce young showjumping horses through to the top level and she has now turned her hand to racing.

Jess places a lot of importance on the education of their team of race horses.  With the view that it not only improves the way in which the horses can be conditioned but also makes the jockey’s job both on the flat and over jumps, much easier race day.
