PROGRAM MANAGER

Jahi Bickham is the Program Manager here at Urban Cowgirl Ranch. He has loved horses for as long as he can remember. He grew up without access to them in Oakland until finally, at age 13, he got to take riding lessons at a western barn while visiting family in New Jersey. The rest, as they say, is history. As a young adult, Jahi worked at the Skyline Ranch Equestrian Center in Alameda County on the weekends to help his single mother cover the cost of his lessons. He continues to pave his way in the industry, exploring various disciplines and learning from Olympians to become a well-rounded trainer and horseman. As Program Manager, he is the person running our barn, facilitating our programming, and managing our volunteers and working students.
