Who we are
Jennifer is a life-long horse enthusiast who started riding at eight years old. After years of frustration at hunter shows watching the same classes over and over, eventing came to her rescue. After graduating Norven Park International Equestrian Center with a degree in riding and stable management, she began a search for the perfect equine partner.
Poltergeist, an unregistered thoroughbred was her first love. After winning regularly at third level dressage, we went to the screening trials for the Olympics. After about a month to practice at fourth level on her own, she was told by her instructor Colonel Llundquist, that her fourth level was “lousy” and to please come back next year because Poltergeist had potential. That opportunity was lost when Poltergeist was lost in a tragic barn fire.

Her winning thoroughbred stallion, New Circle, was a track record holder at 1/16 mile and became her foundation sire. He was her second love and a constant companion for 24 years. After more than 20 years in the racing business, she retired to return to dressage, her first interest.

He grew up on a farm outside Winchester, Kentucky where his father raised cattle and tobacco. His first riding experience was on the back of his father's mules, keeping them from eating the corn that his father was plowing. He also often rode the pinto pony on the farm, and one of his chores was to ride “Bullet” to gather the milk cows in the evenings.
