Our Ios Team

Phil Le Dorze

Phil moved to the US from his native France in 1979. He combines a mix of classical European basics with modern American jumping in his training style. He is part of a generation of tough horseman that one sees less and less in this modern world. What more can we say?

Jenni Wymer

Jenni, a Bainbridge native, has been riding since she could walk. Really. Her mother put her and her sister on a longe line as soon as they could sit up straight. She has been breaking, riding and showing jumpers for almost twenty years. She's been the jumper trainer at Ios Ranch for the last eight years.

Rebecca Parker Black

Rebecca Parker Black is also a Bainbridge native, also a rider from childhood. Her mother is an accomplished breeder and trainer of Arabian horses. Rebecca has been training horses and teaching riders full-time for the last fifteen years. She had experimented with careers in academia and archeology, but found the challenges and frustration of those careers could not compare with the horse business! In even this short time, she has built a successful business training and showing horses, including wins and championships with Fine and Smart, Dorian Dark, Cecelia and her own stallion, Tristtan. She is a USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold Medalist.
