Prestige Hunters Jumpers

Prestige Hunters and Jumpers LLC and Prestige Equine Rehabilitation are the business entities for Owner / Head Trainer / Instructor Staci Fronczek (formerly Staci Hill, pronounced Fron-check). PHJ and PER are based in Temecula, CA. Background Staci has been riding horses since she was little. Staci grew up participating in every discipline of riding available to her until she found her true passion, Hunters / Jumpers. When Staci was in her teen years she had the opportunity to jump for the first time on a lovely school horse named "Pepperdine" and instantly fell in love with the sport. In no time flat Staci began training extensively in the Hunter / Jumper circuit working her way to prominent success on the International "A" Circuit. Staci eventually worked for and toured with Canadian Show Jumping World Champion Ian Millar on the North America Circuit for five years. During this time, Staci acted as personal rider, rehabilitation specialist, and groom for Mr. Millar's World Class string of Show Jumpers. Along with these duties, Staci was also honored with the responsibility of being the rider, groom, and caretaker of the World Champion Show Jumping horse Big Ben. During this time Staci and Ben were involved in many exciting adventures and experiences with people and business delegates from all over the world. Staci and Ben were actively involved with the "Make a Wish Foundation." Shortly after Ben passed away in 1999 Staci wrote a heartfelt tribute to this magnificent horse in the February 25, 2000 issue of "The Chronicle of the Horse." The following is an excerpt from Staci's tribute as edited and published in the book titled "An Apple a Day: A Heartwarming Collection of True Horse Stories."
