Hi, I'm Jessica McLean. I am happily married and a mother of 4 wonderful children, 3 girls and
finally a boy! I have been riding horses since I can remember. I have always loved horses, and at
12yrs of age, I started teaching family and friends how to ride. I graduated from Medicine Hat High
School in 1998. In 1998 and 1999 I tried out for Medicine Hat Stampede Queen Contest, and
Holiday on Horseback and learned many valuable tools. I loved working there and decided that this
was what I definitely wanted to do.
I took business courses with Entre-Corp Business Development as well as Service Best. I have
completed Course 1 Horsemanship with Jonathan Fields, and will be going for Course 2 this year
and Course 3 next year. I also received my Levels 1 and 2 with CEF (Equine Canada) and will be
upgrading my training even more with CHA (Certified Horsemanship Association) which certification
carries not only for Canada, but the US and Europe. I opened Midnight's Trail as an official business
in April of 2002. I started on my own, but have worked with a couple people on the way. Each
year I learn new things and ways to improve what we do, and we are always open to new ideas you
might have as well!

Jessica has been with us for a year now, and we love her just as much now as when we first met her. Jess
has loved horses since she was a kid. She has spent a lot of time chasing cows out at her grandparents in
the Cypress Hills. We only get her in the evenings and weekends right now as she working at getting her
welding apprenticeship, but even with the little time we have her she has been a great asset. We are looking
forward to next spring, when we will have her full-time. She has a soft hand with the horses, and our
students are loving her. Jess has achieved her CHA Instructor Level 1, and has come back with some
wonderful ideas to improve what we do, and some more fun games on horseback. We are looking
forward to applying these new things over the summer. We are sure enjoying having her on our team.

Midnight's Trail officially opened in April of 2002, although I was teaching friends and relatives prior to that. I
enjoyed working with new people and eventually had enough people coming out to consider opening as a business and I have never looked back. The joy of seeing the
transition in people as they come to the ranch, stressed from their jobs and then the peaceful, relaxed look on their faces when they come back from their ride, or the joy
that kind of job satisfaction!
We are a small family based business with big dreams! My family has been great in supporting my dreams and helping me out, including my parents, my husband and my
3 beautiful girls. Out at the barn is just the two of us right now, Myself (Jessica) and my right hand - Jessica G. We have a nice, large outdoor arena, a large obstacle
course, 60' round pen, 8 lesson horses, and 22 sections of land to ride out on - including 3.5 miles along the South Saskatchewan River, surrounded by beautiful
coulees! We have an amazing variety of wildlife: whitetail and mule deer, antelope, coyotes, an occasional cougar, moose or elk, and over 200 varieties of birds -
including swans, hawks, bald and golden eagles, and geese and ducks of many kinds. Also on the place is our 4 acre fruit orchard with apples, cherries and saskatoons.
