Our Story
Meet Jam, and a lifetime around horses.
Rise Again Riding School is about more than lessons. It is a complete horsemanship experience for all ages, where students learn to ride, to care for horses, and to carry that confidence into the rest of life. Behind it all is Jam Lee TePoel, who started riding at seven and had her first horse by twelve, growing up helping her family breed, raise, and train young horses.
Jam taught riding for 19 years in Virginia before moving to Phil Campbell in 2020. She is a certified instructor through the British Horse Society, with degrees in Animal Science and Biology, veterinary school training, a Master's in Agricultural Education, and Special Education training.
That background is why she is just as at home starting a nervous four-year-old as she is coaching a show rider, welcoming an anxious adult back to horses, or working with neurodivergent and special needs students.
Our mission is simple: a comprehensive riding and horsemanship experience for every age, in a fun, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere, with safety at the heart of it all.
