Fun Facts about Jessica: She rode a mare, Had a Kanita, in high school and college rodeos. Then she bred that mare to Dash to Fame and the result is Famous Cool Whip, the nine-year-old gelding that she trained herself. “Cool Whip” has been the reason for much of her success in the WPRA and is the horse she won a round on at the 2018 WNFR. Her husband, Jake, has had a huge influence in the reined cow horse world as a horse trainer. Jessica’s grandfather, Gene Clark, is a Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame member who fought bulls at the first WNFR in Dallas in 1959.
