Jen Truett
DHF Owner and Head Instructor
Jennifer and her husband, Lenny, are animal lovers, boasting a menagerie of several horses, house and barn cats, two goats and one tiny dog. Jen has no memories without horses. She was on horseback at 6 months of age (as soon as she could sit up well, riding in front of her mother) and in her first show at 9 months, where she and her parents won third place in a costume class. Jen grew up showing Quarter Horses, then at 16 moved over to a Thoroughbred and Evented for several years until finding her heart’s desire in dressage. She competes extensively in USDF-recognized competitions around the Region.
Jennifer fulfilled a dream when she represented her USDF Region and the United States in dressage at the North American Young Rider’s Championships in the mid-90s. She followed up that lifetime high with buying a youngster and having to wait three years to ride her own horse again. That baby was a little bay 7 month old Andalusian/Holsteiner cross named Nachtwind (Breezy) and she was to become Jennifer’s next dressage mount. Breezy is not only a talented dressage horse, but she also loves to strut harnessed to her elegant antique village cart. Breezy just recently found a new owner and is enjoying being the “only child” once again. Jen is now working with Sunset N, a beautiful Danish Warmblood gelding purchased in Denmark 2009, and Lafayette (pictured above),a Hanoverian gelding purchased from Suzanne Quarles of Some Day Soon Farm. Sunset was a barely-backed youngster when Jen got him, and Lafayette ("Taffy") was crippled. As you can see from the photo, Taffy has come a long, long way in a couple of years. See his story here: Taffy's Story. Read more about Jen's career both as a rider and trainer here: Jen Truett
Jen Truett teaches Advanced Dressage and Musical Freestyle Development and is a USDF Bronze Medalist/Bronze Freestyle Bar winner.
