Art That Captures Their Soul
I draw animals that move me — the power of horses, the stillness of a Caracal at dusk, a bird in the moment before flight. Working in many mediums — whichever I feel suits the subject — I look for the essence of each animal: the softness and expression in their eye, the tension and muscles in a shoulder, the quiet power of a creature in its element.

“I was 10 years old when first put on a pony who galloped back to the stables with me bouncing around on his back. I had the biggest smile on my face. I had found where I belonged, that never changed.”
— Jenni B45 Years of Horses. A Lifetime of Stories.
I have spent my entire life with horses — as a rider, a warmblood breeder, in competition show jumping, and now as a writer and artist sharing everything I know. For 25 years I bred warmbloods, foaling mares, raising foals, and learning through experience what no textbook can quite teach you.
This site is where I share all of it. Practical guides written from real experience, free downloads, and in-depth articles on everything from nutrition and health to training and the history of the horses that shaped our world.
I am also working on my first ebook — a complete guide to breeding a foal, full of personal stories and original photos from my years breeding warmbloods. Everything I wish I’d had access to when I started breeding and learned through trial and error.
