Jessie Caprioli

Jessie Caprioli is a knowledgeable and very experienced horsewoman. With her kid-friendly style she helps run the Wild Aire Saturday Barn Camp and assists in the overall stable management.  

She owns several horses herself, including “Gryffindor,” a 17 hand Hanoverian gelding that she competes in the Adults.  

   

Wild Aire got it's start in the 1960s, when Dr. Mills, a veterinarian, and his wife Priscilla bought the farm for their three daughters. Both parents had ridden in college and wanted their children to also enjoy horses. Many horse shows later, all three girls had competed on a national level.

In the mid-1980s, the farm was purchased by the Mills' middle daughter Nancy, and her husband Jay DiGregorio. Nancy and Jay revitalized the farm into a full-time lesson / show stable.

Nancy manages the stable office and still competes in the Adult divisions.    

Nancy and her horse "River" train with Greg LaPlace, and when on the road, they train with Holly Hill Farm in Marstons Mills, MA.  Some of Nancy's accomplishments include:
