Jennifer Hansen is a Washington native, and horses have been a huge part of her life since childhood. She grew up on her family’s Redmond farm and was an active member of both 4-H and Pony Club. As a teenager, show jumping captured her interest. She has competed up to the Grand Prix level and while she loves the feeling of flying over big jumps and finding the fastest track in a jump off, it’s teaching that has really become Jennifer’s passion. With an extensive background in many disciplines, Jennifer enjoys helping equestrians of all levels achieve their goals. Her teaching often extends beyond the arena and includes sharing her love of foxhunting and cross-country riding. Jennifer serves as huntsman for the Woodbrook Hunt Club; manager and instructor at Starfire Farm in Lakewood, WA; and she continues to teach both mounted and unmounted pony club sessions.
