Along with the numerous Haflinger Breed National Championships won by this breeding program, Tudor Oaks Farm Haflingers competed with winning records against all breeds in USDF dressage competition, USEF pony hunters and jumpers, USEA Eventing, and ADS Combined and Pleasure driving.
In the early 2000’s Jennifer began building an active teaching and training program for the sport of Eventing under her own business banner, L’Esprit Equestrian, LLC, in addition to her role at Tudor Oaks Farm. L’Esprit Equestrian is now thriving as one of the premiere training programs in the country and is located at the beautiful Jigsaw Farms in Woodstock, Illinois.
