Grant Jacuzzi

Being born into a family of riders, Grant was practically destined to ride. From as early as age three, he was a fixture at the local cross-country course and could regularly be seen galloping his Quarter Horse, Willie, across the pasture while his older sister and the local Pony Club practiced nearby.

As soon as he was old enough to join Pony Club himself, Grant began eventing and riding jumpers. Like Isabella, he also grew up riding and helping train hundreds of ponies, making videos and helping prepare countless young horses and ponies for families across the country. Those early years gave him an education in horses that could never have come from a classroom.

Although soccer and other activities competed for his attention for a few years, horses were never far from his life. After graduating from college with degrees in finance and accounting, Grant returned to take a larger role in the family business, initially focusing on its financial and operational side.

Around the same time, he caught the reining and ranch riding bug alongside Isabella. The two began showing more regularly, and their growing interest in performance horses has helped expand Horse Of My Dreams’ focus to include more accomplished reining, ranch riding, and show-quality horses while maintaining the temperament and versatility that have always been central to our program.

Today, Grant divides his time between training and showing horses, helping manage the day-to-day operations and finances of Horse Of My Dreams, and attending law school. Whether he’s working a horse, competing in the show pen, working behind the scenes at the farm, or studying for his next exam, horses—and the family business he grew up in—remain a central part of his life.
