Rita and Lexanna Q

We are pleased to announce that Lovely Lexanna Q has been sold to Rita Stegman in Oklahoma. She is excited to plans to ride and show Lexanna for a couple of years and then add Lexanna’s super pedigree to her Hanoverian breeding program after that. Lexanna will stay in training with Jen for a couple months to prepare her for her upcoming American Hanoverian Society mare inspection in October. Rita looks forward to coming to DHF to finally meet her new dance partner in person after falling in love with her from photos and videos. Rita and Lexanna are yet another shining example of the value of impeccable business ethics, excellent reputation, and policy of full disclosure in every business dealing which enabled another out-of-state buyer to buy with confidence without ever meeting their new horse in person.

Congratulations to Rita, Suzanne and Lexanna Q! Welcome to DHF’s extended family, Rita!

Alex and Keegan

Grey Haven’s Keegan MacDaire and Alex came together in March with the help of Jennifer Truett and her longtime friendship with Mary Lou Braun. Keegan was just a coming 4 Y/O Connemara Pony with ton of character, lots of spunk and a knack for being a quick learner. Keegan and Alex quickly picked up where Mary Lou and Martha left off in his training and have become an inseparable team. Alex said she is falling in love with dressage for the first time because Keegan is like a clean slate and they’re learning everything for the first time together. Alex loves knowing how to get Keegan “collected” and “in frame” so easily. Alex has taken Keegan over two ft. verticals and he has not refused even one. Alex laughs at how he jumps over streams of light in the arena and at his braveness when encountering new obstacles, like puddles in the driveway. Alex is excited about further developing her and Keegan’s jumping and dressage abilities. With the help and hard work of her trainers Lindsay Lechner and Jennifer Truett this pony and Alex are going places.

Sarah and Riley

A first horse for Sarah! Riley is the all around “packer” everyone needs for his or her first horse.

Angie and Charlie

“…I feel big on this pony! I began to try Charlie out at his place where he lived. In the first three trot steps I began giggling like a little kid. I giggled even more at the canter! I was having a blast on him! Jen and I began laughing together; Charlie and I were puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. He was the first pony I tried at his farm and the one that i bought. Charlie is the perfect pony for me, thanks to Jen, I finally have a partner that fits my small size perfectly. Charlie is my Pocket full of Sunshine!....”

Lori and Breezy

Breezy is a 10 year old, 16 hand, bay Iberian Warmblood (Andalusian/Holsteiner cross) mare raised from a foal and trained exclusively by Jennifer Truett. Breezy has always served as the matriarch of DHF. She has garnered numerous USDF year end All Breeds awards as well as awards from various USDF GMO’s for everything from Training level to Second level and Musical Freestyle. Breezy is incredibly talented at piaffe and canter pirouettes and all lateral work is a breeze-just think half pass and you’re on your way across the arena in a perfect bend! She has been there, done that. Perfect at shows, clinics, in any environment, she is always reliable, quiet and steady. Super smooth, easy gaits and a joy to live and work with. Breezy is also an accomplished carriage driving horse, she loves pulling her beautiful carriage as much as competing in the dressage arena. This horse is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for her new amateur owner and we are pleased to have found Breezy’s new mommy within our clientele so she will stay with Jennifer and Lenny for the rest of her life. We congratulate Lori Aman, for the purchase of this lovely mare. Breezy and Lori are the perfect team and Breezy is doing a great job teaching Lori all about dressage. We look forward to watching Breezy and Lori ride down many centerlines together.

Amber and Houdini

Houdini is a 5 year old, 16.3 hand, grey Spanish Norman/Half Andalusian gelding who came to us this summer as a project horse. Houdini is a very handsome, self confident guy who excelled with his previous owner at the seven Parelli games, proving he’s also very smart. Houdini has three wonderful gaits, a comedic personality and is a lot of fun to be around. He will undoubtedly excel in dressage and might also be a very fun eventer. We are very happy to have placed Houdini in a perfect home with one of Jennifer’s working students, Amber Adcock. Amber rode Houdini all summer and did a great job with him, so when Jennifer decided to sell him, Amber was the perfect choice. We wish Amber and Houdini many successes next show season!

Heidi and Daiquiri

Daiquiri is a wonderful 13 year old, 15.2 hand, Appaloosa/Thoroughbred gelding who has carried one of Jennifer’s working students, Amber Adcock, to many victories in both eventing and dressage. When one of Jennifer’s Columbus students, Heidi Reid, decided it was time for her to get her own horse, Jennifer knew that Daiquiri would be the perfect match. Amber has used Daq to teach a lot of her beginner rider lessons because he is so perfectly trustworthy and wonderfully patient. Daiquiri and Heidi are a match made in heaven and we are very excited to see what their future holds.

Janet Riccadella and Bianca

Janet has been a long time client of Jen’s with her older Swedish Warmblood, Jewel. When it came time to replace him, Jen started up her networking channels and found Janet’s perfect dancing partner at her own coach’s facility, Larkspur Farm in Delaware, OH. While at a lesson with coach, George Williams, the facility owner, Donna, brought out her personal horse, a stunning copper chestnut mare, Bianca, for Jen to try for Janet. Interestingly enough, Bianca is by the same stallion as Jen’s show horses, Lydia and Lisalotte, so Jen really knew and understood this lovely mare’s personality from the very beginning. As soon as the test ride began, Jen was certain this was the right horse for Janet who excitedly joined Jen on her next trip to Larkspur farm for lessons. Janet rode Bianca a handful of times and brought her home to DHF and has loved her ever since. Bianca brings out the very best in Janet and Janet has the same effect on Bianca. The two are a fantastic match. Very soon after Bianca moved to DHF, she became totally fixated on Janet to the point that she pines after her, looking to see where her new mommy is at all times. Jen is very pleased with this partnership and is excited to see how their future unfolds. A heartfelt thanks to Roberta Williams and Donna for helping make Janet’s dream of finding her next dancing partner a reality.
