Jennifer Interview

Shaping the Next Generation of Swedish Riding

Ambition and heritage meet in the quiet strength of Yagya Rider Jennifer Lamprecht.

“Mitt namn är Jennifer Kits Lamprecht, 20 år från Stockholm, Sweden och jag tränar på Runsten Equestrian söder om Stockholm med mina hästar och min mamma till coach.”

“My name is Jennifer Kits Lamprecht, I’m 20 years old and from Stockholm, Sweden. I train and ride at Runsten Equestrian, south of Stockholm, together with my horses and my mom as my coach.”

Jennifer’s riding journey began before she could even form memories. She sat on a horse for the first time as a baby, supported by her mother’s arms. “Jag har ridit så länge jag kan minnas, satt första gången på häst med mamma bara några månader gammal,” she shares. “I’ve been riding for as long as I can remember. My first time on a horse was when I was just a few months old with my mom.”

Those early years were shaped by the ponies at her family’s riding school just outside Stockholm. The barn was her playground and her classroom, a place where long days turned into lessons about care, patience, and courage. At twelve, she entered her first competition, the start of a path that would take her to advanced Young Rider classes and international ambition.

“Min bästa häst heter Jordans Mill JWB … idag känner vi varandra utan och innan.”

“My best horse is Jordans Mill JWB … today we know each other inside and out.”

Among all the horses that have passed through Jennifer’s life, one stands apart: Jordans Mill JWB. Sensitive, sharp, and brimming with energy, he challenged her to become a different kind of rider. “Han är en fantastisk häst men med mycket nerv och blod,” she explains. “He’s an incredible horse but with a lot of blood and sensitivity.”

The early seasons together were not about winning but about understanding. Jennifer spent hours on quiet rides and simple exercises, building a bond before pushing for bigger goals.

“De första åren la jag mycket tid på att bygga ett starkt band mellan oss,” she says. “In the first years, I spent a lot of time building a strong connection between us.”

Today, that work shows every time they step into the ring. They know each other completely, knowing when to ask, when to wait, and when to trust.

"Horses must be allowed to be horses."

Jennifer’s philosophy is deeply shaped by Swedish equestrian culture, a tradition rooted in respect for the horse’s mental and physical well-being. Training is never rushed. Each week balances technical schooling with space to think and recover.

“För mig är det viktigt med varierad träning men också dagar för återhämtning,” she explains. “It’s important to keep our training varied but also include days for recovery.” Sessions include flatwork with poles, dressage lessons, hacks in nature, and conditioning work for both horse and rider. Everything is designed to keep the horse happy, positive, and motivated.

This mindset, patient, harmonious, and horse-first, shapes every goal she sets for herself. Success is not measured only in height and speed but also in the quiet signs of a horse that enjoys its work.

Jennifer rides with ambition but also with calm focus. She trains seven days a week, but her driving force is connection rather than pressure. “Jag jobbar sju dagar i veckan mot att bli den bästa ryttaren för mina hästar,” she says. “I work seven days a week toward becoming the best possible rider for my horses.”

She knows where she wants to go: bigger classes, larger arenas, and greater opportunities, but she is grounded by her Swedish roots. The values instilled early by her mother and community keep her approach balanced: develop the horse, protect its well-being, and take time to build something lasting.

In a sport where speed and results often dominate, Jennifer’s story feels refreshingly deliberate and serves as a reminder that excellence comes quietly, one patient day at a time.
