JANE CIBELLI

Jane grew up in England riding and
showing horses eventually moving onto
the thoroughbred world at the age of
18; realizing that working with and around
horses had become a lifelong passion. At
the age of 21 she headed to the United
States to gallop at Payson Park – and
from there ventured to various tracks
throughout the country.

After nearly 20 years experience
exercising and/or working as an assistant
trainer Cibelli branched out on her own
to open a public stable after a training
accident forced her to stay on the ground.
“After breaking my back in 2002 realized
it is now or never to get serious about
training horses – I am very fortunate to
have many people who supported me
early in my career that I still train for to
this day, “said Cibelli.

She bases her operation at Monmouth
Park, NJ in the summer and Palm
Meadows, FL in the winter months. “Being
at Monmouth allows me the opportunity
to compete throughout the mid-Atlantic
region to exploring all possibilities for your
horse” said Jane. “When stabled in Florida
I race primarily at Gulfstream giving my
clients chance to place their horses where
they fit best however I also ship to Tampa
when appropriate.”

Jane credits her hands on approach and
communication with her clients as key
factors to her success – “I won’t sugar-
coat anything but I will give you an honest
assessment of your horse – that is what I
think clients value most!” continued Cibelli.
