Jennifer Henderson

Jennifer has a keen understanding of horse and rider biomechanics and uses this knowledge as an integral part in her instruction and training program. Focusing solely on arabians, she has successfully trained numerous horses to wins in hunter pleasure, western pleasure, halter and many sport horse divisions in both open and for amateur riders. Keeping the number of training horses and students at a manageable level is key to Jen's success as well as allowing her chase her own goals with her own horses.

 

​Recent accomplishments include training the 2021 National Champion Sport Horse in Hand PB Mare, RA Taylor Swift and the 2023 National Champion Sport Horse in Hand PB Gelding, JJE En Garde+.

In 2025, she took home 4 Champion garlands and 4 Reserve Champion garlands with her two homebred junior horses at the Region 13 and 18 Championships in Sport Horse in Hand, Sport Horse Under Saddle, Dressage - Training Level, and Western Dressage- Basic level. ​

 

Like many small businesses during the pandemic, Ambiance Arabians faced a transitional period during 2020. During the uncertain times our world and economy faced, Jen used this time as a period of refocus and redirection. Ambiance Arabians shifted gears back towards the goal of being an amateur friendly/ family welcoming barn that produces safe, quality Arabian and Half Arabian show horses in both sport horse and main ring. The belief in quality over quantity is a philosophy that has carried this program through the last 20+ years of business.​
