The evergreen 17-year-old ‘Over to You’, known at home as "Jack", is still showing no signs of wanting to step down from the sport at the highest level and after 12 years together, there isn't much Jeanette doesn't know about her amazing partner. Jeanette now runs a yard with Australian rider Brook Staples in Staffordshire.

Jeanette currently feeds her horses SPILLERS® Horse & Pony Cubes, Response™ Slow Release Energy Mix and Cubes, SPILLERS® Cool Mix, and EQUIVITE® Original.
