“I love this mare so much and she has so much more to give, we are all so excited about where our future will bring us.”

Jennifer and her husband, Jürgen, were successful in Europe on Rubinio NRW and Florentinus V. Both were on the U.S. Grand Prix ranking list. Jennifer rode Rubinio on U.S. Nations Cup teams.
