Head Instructor and Owner: 

Juli Jayne

JJ has been around horses for over to forty years and has combined her educational skills with her love of horses to create The Mounting Block.  

A graduate of SUNY Brockport, she taught first grade for three years before her marriage to Tom Jayne.

JJ moved to the farm that would become The Mounting Block in 1975 and has been teaching riding ever since.  She was a 4-H Leader in Monroe County and was actively involved in Mendon Pony Club while her daughter was a member. She excels at teaching children and adults who want to learn all aspects of horsemanship. 

Facility Manager:

Thomas Jayne

Tom taught art in the Fairport Central School District for over thirty years.  As a retiree, he now manages the vehicles and maintenance projects or our facility.  

Tom wears many hats: he is our tractor repairman, fence-fixer, hay-baler, weed-chopper, and crisis averter.  If you see him, shout a loud "hello."  He's either on the tractor driving by you, or he's been on the tractor and can no longer hear you!
