Known for his large YouTube following and expertise in natural horsemanship. Key Points from the Episode : Origin and Growth of Pear Tree Ranch Founded in 2011 when Jake went independent after working with Parelli Natural Horsemanship. Started with almost nothing — living on ramen and PB&J, no truck or trailer. Grown into an international operation: clients fly in from Europe, South Africa, and across the US; offers in-person training, lessons, clinics, camps, and online video content (YouTube & Patreon). Now a family business run primarily by Jake and his wife Stephanie (also a skilled trainer); their 8-year-old son Johnny helps occasionally but isn’t pushed into the horse world.

Business Strategy & Growth Located in Ocala, “Horse Capital of the World,” for the density of horses, warm climate, and lifestyle (palm trees, beaches).
