Our Show Stable offers a program for competition-oriented riders seeking improvement in their show and horsemanship skills through an avenue of horse showing from the non-rated level through National and Regional Levels.
Jennifer Dow Olsen grew up riding at her family’s hunter/jumper farm, the Westbrook Hunt Club in Westbrook, CT and trained there with Jane Dow.
Jennifer has also had the unique pleasure of training with the great Victor Hugo-Vidal, as well as being invited to teach alongside him as a professional. She had a successful Junior career, including qualifying for Indoors with her Junior Jumper, Hill Street.
Jennifer stayed on at Westbrook Hunt Club after turning professional, continuing to bring along young horses from basic ground work to competing on the “A” circuit and teaching students to numerous championships.
She has competed up to level 7 in the jumpers with horses like Westbrook and Hill Street. Jennifer has shown successfully in the Hunter and Jumper rings at both local CHJA and NEHC levels, as well as winning Year End Zone Championships on the National Circuit from Pre-green through the Regular Working Hunter divisions.
Most recently, Jennifer qualified for the World Championship Hunter Rider’s emerging pro finals at Capital Challenge with A Priori. She has trained riders of all levels, in Equitation, Hunters, and Jumpers from start to year end championships and to finals.
