Meet the crew
around legends who make the Vail Stables magic happen.
Staff you'll brag
about knowing
Jess
Senior Trail Guide
Jess has been with Vail Stables longer than most of the horses. She’s part trail guide, part horse whisperer, and fully committed to making sure you have the best ride of your life. Jess is known for her calm demeanor, epic trail stories, and the fact that she’s never lost a hat to the wind. Fun fact: a baby goat once hitched a ride in her saddlebag—and she just rolled with it.
Cody
Wrangler & Saddle Repair Pro
If something breaks, Cody can fix it—with baling twine, duct tape, or sheer willpower. When he’s not leading rides or teaching guests how to steer, he’s fine-tuning tack and cracking jokes that may or may not involve goats. His favorite horse? The one that doesn’t try to untie itself.
Jess
GOGA Instructor & Goat Therapist
Lena leads our GOGA (Goat Yoga) sessions and is fluent in goat. She’s got a zen vibe and a playlist for every pose—plus she knows exactly which baby goat is most likely to try and chew your shoelaces. Whether you’re into downward dog or just came for goat cuddles, Lena’s class is a must-do.
