JAI SMITH-REZAC, HEAD TRAINER, HEAD COACH & OWNER

Century Mill is owned and operated by Jai Smith-Rezac. Jai has over 20 years of experience teaching students of all levels in hunters, jumpers, equitation, dressage and eventing. She has trained with countless top trainers of all disciplines and enjoys passing that knowledge on to her students and bringing them to the highest levels of their chosen sport. Jai teaches many of the adult riders and juniors here at CMS, both recreational and show. Her positive and supportive teaching style allows her to specialize in bringing along the more timid rider and in helping people who feel as though they have reached a plateau in their riding. Jai particularly enjoys teaching the other instructors at CMS, and believes that this fosters a continuity to the riding and teaching styles at CMS that is a huge asset to the stable. Jai believes strongly in the well rounded horses and rider, and offers several opportunities during the year for horses and riders to expand their horizons. Trips to ride on the beach and through the local orchards are led by Jai and are very popular breaks form the show schedule! Jai also takes clients on international riding trips to other countries. Recent trips have been to Hungary, Austria, Costa Rica and Provence, France.

"Riding has always been my passion and when I had to take a break to start my family, it was the trainers of Century Mill Stables that helped me get back in the saddle and eventually back in the show ring. I have been with CMS for five years and since this time, I have leased and now purchased a horse of my own thanks in large part to Jai, becky, and Liz. Their continued guidance an encouragement has put me on the path for success and achieve goals I have only been able to dream about. My daughter now rides at CMS and is competing successfully in the leadline division."
