UNCOVER: Jennifer Osbourne

Hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, Jennifer Osbourne is a badass horsewoman if we’ve every seen one. Through her non-profit, Fire & Ice Horse Rescue, Jennifer takes in Thoroughbred horses straight from the race tracks of California and retrains them for their forever homes. By the time a horse finishes her program, they have experience trail riding, standing tied, and WTC on a loose rein.

Not only does she rescue horses, Jennifer is a professional firefighter (engineer). After pursuing multiple career paths and not quite finding her fit, she completed her training and testing to become a fire fighter. Thirteen years later, she is running her horse rescue as well as advocating for women in firefighting.

Originally from New Jersey, Jennifer learned about horses from a neighborhood gangster… yep. You read that right. He encouraged her mom to get her into riding lesson and horse activities. Jennifer began 3 day eventing after one of her first rescue horses preferred solid jumps over arenas jump. Jennifer makes a commitment to every horse she rehomes. She is dedicated to finding the perfect fit, in family and in job, for her rescues and we commend her for her dedication.
