Jennie is perhaps best known as the owner and trainer of the big champagne stallion Champagne Watchout. Jennie introduced and published a brand new idea to an old discipline that people never imaged could be applied to Gaited Horses. Jeannie has been perfecting Dressage, as applied to Gaited Horses for over two decades.
