Who We Are

Jill Johnson's passion for young horses, has led her to a lifetime of breeding and developing champions.  

From the very beginning, Jill enjoyed breaking and training green ponies. In her
junior years, she could be found breaking the young Halcyon ponies. She
concentrated on showing her small pony Halcyon Hyacinth, who she started from
scratch, through the pony hunter division.  From there, it was on to the Large
ponies, and then to horses. Competing in the Children's Hunters, then the Jumpers,
completed a well rounded Jr. career.

Following her Jr. years, Jill decided to follow her passion, showing Hunter
Breeding horses, and then breeding her own horses.

Jill's first foal, Unlimited, was the Champion at Devon, Grand
Champion of the IHF West, and USEF National Champion.  He has gone on to a great performance career in the Green
Conformation Hunters, Small Jr. Hunters, and the Regular Conformation Hunter
divisions.  

Since then, Jill has been extremely fortunate to produce several
Champions at the biggest shows in the Nation. Unlimited (Unfold  X  Grand Affair,
by Grande Sabre), Lookout Point, Imperial Crown (Zarr X Cheval D'or, by Gold
Apollo), Extravagant, Game Point, to name just a few.  Jill is particularly proud of
Imperial Crown.  She calls this one her "Once in a lifetime" horse.  Imperial
Crown was born with "It"; the look, the movement, the conformation, the whole
package.  Jill knew he was special from the moment he was born.  He was bred to
be a good one.  Jill centered this mating around her credo. "Breed the best to the
best to produce the best."  Jill firmly believes the mares play the an extremely
important role in producing the ultimate athlete.  Imperial Crown was just what
she hoped for.  He didn't disappoint in the ring by winning at Devon, and being
purchased right out of the ring by Cismont Manor Farm.  He has gone on to win
the IHF Finals Grand Champion, and the best is yet to come.

In 2006, Jill sent out an amazing FIVE Devon Class winners, and FIVE
Upperville winners.  

Jill is committed to the same success for the clients of Hunter's Peak as she has given to her clients in her past business ventures.     We all look forward to this new adventure!
