Jenni has a tremendous talent for preparing horses to excel at the Grand Prix level. She has trained and competed on numerous horses that under her guidance perform at the top of their game. Many of these horses have moved on to successful careers with other professional and amateur riders.
At the age of three, Jenni’s first instructor was her older sister Cecily. This student-teacher relationship lasted into her teens - Cecily trained young horses, including Toy Soldier and Apple Annie, for Jenni to ride.
As a junior, Jenni did dressage work with Franz Rohvansky. She competed successfully in Three-Day-Eventing up to the preliminary level, taking clinics with Bruce Davidson. As a junior rider in Southern California, she placed 2nd in the Pacific Coast Hunter Jumper Association Junior Jumper Finals. She was selected by USET for jumping clinics given by Olympic Gold Medalist, Joe Fargis, and rode in a number of clinics given by the eminent hunter-jumper trainer, George Morris.
At sixteen, as a member of the Gold Medal West Coast Team, Jenni and her horse Apple Annie, helped her team to win the CSIOJ Junior Nations Cup. She also took the Individual Bronze Medal. The following year, she and Apple Annie competed for the AHSA Zone Ten region team at the North American Continental Young Riders competition, pulling out the Silver Medal for the USA by jumping the only double-clean rounds of the day.
In 1993 Jenni met Steve McAllister, who owned and ran Highborn Horse Park in Southbury, Connecticut. Soon they became partners in the sales, training and showing end of the business. This successful coaching, business & personal partnership continues to this day. In 2003 they moved to Southern California, where they developed the Martin McAllister Training Program as well as continue to acquire and train top horses to compete nationally as well as internationally.
