Jennifer Phethean
Jennifer's equestrian career was a natural result of her upbringing as the daughter of a well-respected riding instructor and an avid foxhunter. Jenny grew up on Sandhill Farm in Zephyrhills, Florida where her mother, Linda Konst taught hunt seat equitation and helped start and introduced her daughters and students to one of the first pony clubs in the region. Both parents foxhunted with Two Rivers Hounds (later South Creek Foxhounds) and Jenny and her sister learned to ride across country from the back of their ponies in the hunt field.
A well-rounded equestrian who was required to do well in her equitation class in order to be allowed to enter her favorite jumper classes, where she was well-known for her fearless jump-offs, it was through her involvement with the United States Pony Club that Jennifer was introduced to eventing and later gained an appreciation for dressage fundamentals and a love for cross-country. Jenny competed in nearly every sport offered by USPC (dressage, eventing, showjumping, mounted games, and tetrathlon) by the time she graduated as an HA-rated member. Since then, Jennifer has been a devoted student of horsemanship and incorporates principles from natural horsemanship, classical hunt seat equitation and dressage into her training of both horses and riders.
Most recently, Jenny has built an admirable sporthorse breeding program, producing an enviable group of highly talented individuals with wonderful temperaments.
Jenny enjoys breeding and training young horses, helping riders of all ages progress in the pursuit of their riding goals, and competing in a variety of disciplines.
