SEATTLE — When Jennifer Williams was growing up in Roy, her parents placed a streetlight near the family's front pasture, so she could safely ride horses into the night. She was five years old. "I had parents that loved animals," Williams said."So early on, I would say around two years old, my mom would take me and put me on her horse, and I think they realized very early on that I had quite the passion for not only animals but particularly horses.
The Bethel High alum spent countless hours training at Summervale Premiere Dressage in Roy, a place she calls"Horse Heaven." Her coach in Washington is Christophe Theallet and her coach in Florida is Oded Shimoni. "Yes, you want horses to be your partner," Williams said."They're with you every day. You want them to love what they're doing.
Last June, Williams and her horse Joppe passed their strongest tests ever, winning a Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special in British Columbia. Williams now lives and trains in Florida with her husband, two kids, and Joppe. She tries to return to Roy, Washington to see family and help coach others.
