Our history
A legacy of rodeo dreams and community unity
Christian Horse Adventures grew from a family legacy where horses, teamwork and encouragement helped young people build confidence and pursue their dreams.
Rodeo Dreams
Twenty-seven years of learning through experience
Near Orlando, Florida, the family transformed an open field into Rodeo Dreams—a safe, encouraging place where children could practice their skills, build confidence and pursue the futures they imagined.
Paid staff and devoted volunteers worked side by side to build a culture rooted in trust, accountability and encouragement. Young riders learned to manage pressure, communicate clearly and recover from setbacks.
Those same principles now shape every equine-assisted team building experience: trust is earned, focus drives performance, and strong partnerships help teams grow, connect and lead with purpose.
Jed & Jody’s journey
Experience and empathy, working together
Jed has been surrounded by horses since childhood. Years of hands-on work throughout the rodeo business taught him that leadership is more than authority—it requires trust, thoughtful conflict management and respect for every role on a team.
He is certified through Equine Connection and holds advanced certifications in The Spirit of Leadership and Leadership Strategies: The Effective Facilitator.
Jody’s lifelong love for animals grew into a deep appreciation for the partnership between people and horses. She brings compassion, intuition and steady leadership to the supportive environment they create. Together, Jed and Jody are certified in Equine-Assisted Learning.

A new chapter
The same values, a new way to grow
The community formed around Rodeo Dreams extended beyond the show. People supported one another through challenges and celebrated each other’s progress, united by a spirit of collaboration.
Today, that legacy continues through ground-based horse activities. The setting has changed, but the core remains: fun, camaraderie and experiential lessons in trust, communication and teamwork.
