Mrs. Amy S. Jenkins began riding and training horses at an early age. She took a brief respite while pursuing her education and starting a family. She completed her education while caring for her two children. Her degrees include a B.S. in Human Development with a concentration in Psychology, an A.S. in Nursing and a M.S. in Rehabilitation Counseling (physical and mental disabilities).

In 1998 her daughter was diagnosed with globally significantly developmentally delayed with autistic features. This motivated her to combine her previous skills with working with horses again but also being active in helping others within the community. She returned to working, training and teaching horses while renovating an existing stable on her property, with the assistance of the Amish Community. She currently owns and operates the Meadows of Mendon Stables in Mendon, New York.

Amy's background in counseling, nursing, teaching and her skills at riding and horse handling have had a positive influence on the people at the Meadows of Mendon Stables. Her gentle handling of the riders and horses coupled with a creative teaching program has made a wonderful experience for all. She ensures that the stables is an atmosphere dedicated to positive experiences for the families and individuals involved.
