Why Amerron Acres?
The name “Amerron” came from a very special horse named Amerron Rhia who inspired Jess to train in equine therapies and learning. With permission from the Amerron stud to use the name, Amerron Acres can continue in her memory and help others. Rhia touched the lives of many people with her wise, friendly and opinionated presence. Always smiling, such a happy pony.
The word acres means “a unit of space” which is what we are. A safe space, a space the horses and practitioners hold to support our clients in their journey towards healing and growth.
Jessica Snape-Burns – Director & Practitioner
Jess grew up exploring the countryside on the backs of various ponies, developing a deep connection with animals from an early age. Her passion for animal welfare led her to volunteer with injured and sick animals at a sanctuary, giving her early hands-on experience with equines.
Horses have always been a source of comfort and insight for Jess. Inspired by their wisdom, she founded Amerron Acres to create a space where others can engage in experiential learning, body-based awareness, and breathwork alongside her special herd, supporting personal growth and healing on multiple levels.
Jess has also faced her own health challenges, living with debilitating neurological symptoms that resulted in years of misdiagnoses and mental health struggles. She was eventually diagnosed with a chronic spinal CSF leak. Now largely recovered, Jess deeply understands the value of self-care, slowing down, and nurturing mental and physical well-being through practices that honor both body and mind.
