Abbie Letourneau
Manager
Abbie’s love for horses began at the very young of 4 years old when she received her first horse, a mini named Derby. At 8 years old she was already enrolled in taking riding lessons and started competing with her first full size pony. Sportyturf taught her how to sit a buck but most of all a life lesson that all rides are a learning experience. Her next horse was Firefly whom provided her with many medical learning opportunities as she was always prone to injuring herself. Firefly taught her the true commitment that it takes to own a horse. Sadly, Firefly passed away from cancer and is greatly missed.Mazie came to Abbie from the SPCA in April 2017. Abbie loves that she can see her while working here at High Knoll. Mazie is one of the farm favorites.
Abbie proudly received her associates degree in Equine Management from the University of New Hampshire. She began her career at High Knoll as an equine caretaker. Two years later she was offered the role as Manager. She has grown into this role and enjoys the relationships that she has with each boarder and horse. Abbie takes pride in providing exceptional care to the horses at High Knoll Equestrian. She is a proud mother, and owner of a mini horse, and dog named Piper as well.
Jill Henry
Assistant Manager
Jill had her first interaction with horses in preschool and was hooked. Her passion grew when she started taking lessons at an eventing barn at the age of 10 and continued there through her highschool years, very often catch riding for owners to get more time in the saddle. She leased a small pony named Peanut, who taught her some valuable lessons on stickability. During this time, she also volunteered her time at an equine rescue.
After high school, Jill attended UNH and graduated with a degree in Veterinary Technology in 2017 and obtained her certification in that same year. Jill's extensive background in working with horses has equipped her with a unique understanding of equine health, and behavior.
Jill spends her free time with her boyfriend, “Matt”, dog, ”Cabela”, and mare, “Rue”. She enjoys hiking, camping, and riding/jumping Rue.
