About Us

Jaffe

 

Jaffe's love for horses started when she attended a horse summer camp in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at age 7. She then began regular lessons and showing in hunters up to A level with Janet Talmadge at Ravenwood Hunt Club. She got her first horse Alabama at 12 and was awarded champion novice horse and rider for 1991 in their first year together. Jaffe moved with her family up to Delaware where she continued to ride and do local shows. She also trained with Richard and Valerie Raider and Laurie Jakubauskas.

She took a four year break from horses during high school and college, then started to take lessons again with Bryan Bradley (coach of the U of D Intercollegiate team). Jaffe got her second horse in college from Bryan and started to show in hunters again and jumpers. She graduated from University of Delaware with a degree in Chemical Engineering and took a job in Pennsylvania working at a nuclear power plant. During the two years she worked there she found a new coach named Alison Parker. Alison has trained up to intermediate level eventing and third level dressage with Missy and Jessica Ransehausen.

Jaffe quit her engineering job in December 2002 to pursue a life filled with horses. She found a job as a working student at Farnham Equestrian in North Carolina in 2003. She worked there for four months taking care of 10 horses and competing in novice level eventing and Level 3 jumpers.

While in NC, her boyfriend Kent Woodward proposed and bought her a horse as a present. Then she moved back to PA to work on wedding planning and training her new horse Amara. Kent and Jaffe were married on May 2, 2004 in Baton Rouge. Jaffe and Amara successfully competed in 2004 and 2005 at several shows and events including Valley Hill, Hunter Hill, Ludwig's Corner, Fairhill Int'l, Flora Lea, Plantation Field and Bucks County under the coaching of Alison Parker.

Since moving to Waypoint Farm, Jaffe has trained with Chris Hitchcock, Sue Berrill, Denny Emerson, Susie Wiedman and Nanci Lindroth.

 

Kent

 

Kent met Jaffe at the nuclear power plant where they both got engineering jobs after college. Jaffe got Kent on her horse Tilly while they were dating and he's been hooked ever since. He started out taking lessons based in centered riding with Sherri Brown at Brownhill Stable in PA. He then moved on to train with Alison Parker and did his first show at Valley Hill jumpers in the summer of 2004.

Since moving to Waypoint Farm, Kent successfully completed his first CT on Molly Bloom at Hillcrest Farm in Aug. 2006.

 

Waypoint Farm

 

Kent got the word waypoint from his time spent in the Navy.  A waypoint means a point between major points on a route, or in other words, a stopping place on the way to a destination.  We thought this was very appropriate and so we named our farm.
