Helping Riders Build Confidence, Skill & Connection in the Saddle.

About Us


Founded by Jessica, Escape With Horses is a Paso Fino lesson and training barn in Winter Garden, Florida, rooted in connection, confidence, and thoughtful horsemanship. With years of experience working with both horses and people, Jessica’s approach goes beyond riding blending trust, communication, and personal growth in and out of the saddle.

Why Escape With Horses


What makes this space special isn’t just the riding, it’s the intention behind every lesson. Each experience is guided with care, respect, and a thoughtful understanding of both horse and rider. Time is taken to create a calm, supportive environment where confidence can grow naturally, trust can form, and riders are encouraged to move at their own pace. The focus is always on connection, comfort, and creating moments in the saddle that feel meaningful and genuine.

  • The beauty of a Paso Fino lies in its natural gait — smooth, even, and full of heart. It’s a ride that allows you to sit quietly, feel deeply, and appreciate the partnership rather than focus on effort.

  • The smoothest ride you’ll ever feel — and the one you’ll never forget.

  • Once you ride a Paso Fino, every other ride feels different!

  • In team settings, Paso Finos create space for clarity. Their even tempo encourages participants to slow down, communicate clearly, and recognize how their energy influences the outcome.

  • Horsemanship with a Paso Fino is about refinement. Small adjustments create big changes, and gentle communication leads to effortless movement.

No matter where you’re starting, you belong here.
