Nikki Jewell began her lifetime with horses at a young age and primarily was involved in the eventing and dressage disciplines through her high school and college years. Upon graduation from college, Nikki worked for several top level A circuit Hunter Jumper trainers. In 2000 Nikki started her own training business, Gem Stone Farm, Inc focusing on training and competing on the A circuit at the national level. She has trained many students and horses to excel in the hunter, equitation and jumper rings and has had several students ride in the THIS Medal Finals, Hunt Seat Medal Finals and Maclay Regionals. In 2015 Nikki relocated to Central KY and started a new venture, Hidden Gem Equine. She has reunited with her love of the sport of eventing, and is bringing her Hunter Jumper background to help eventers with their show jumping. Since focusing her training and coaching more in eventing and dressage she has trained students through the 2* level and has many students that have qualified for and attended AEC's, USDF Regionals and attained national ranking in the sport.

Nikki thrives on bringing out the hidden talents in horses and their riders in whatever discipline they find most joyful. She has developed many young prospects into successful performance horses in multiple disciplines. Nikki is also a certified yoga teacher and loves to bring yoga into her teaching, specifically to help with correcting riders' position and equitation.
