Jennifer Flowers, Dressage Trainer

'The Secret to a Top-Notch Athlete Is Nutrition'

Jennifer Flowers, a USDF silver & bronze medalist, has been teaching for more than 18 years. This determined rider began her teaching career at the young age of 16, working with the Pony Club. From eventing to dressage, Jennifer has a strong background training over fences and in flat work. Her early experience includes working with under-accomplished trainers and even traveling to England as a working student.

Jennifer has taught AA hunters, dressage riders, eventers and even served as head coach for The University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s hunter and dressage teams.

Jennifer currently trains at Jennifer Flowers Dressage on her family farm in Statesville, NC, where she resides with her two young children, husband and dogs.

Jennifer is very attuned to the nutritional demands of horse and rider athletes. “We all know the secret to a top-notch athlete is nutrition," she says. "Without the correct fuel, our strengthening and conditioning programs for these athletes would fall short of their potential. Our horses and riders are our athletes at Jennifer Flowers Dressage."

Jennifer says that BRL Nutrition products such as Un-Lock, and EQ-Royal help her horses recover and build the muscle and endurance needed for training and competition. "Not only do I turn to BRL products for my horses, but I myself take the EPO-Boost performance supplement and Tri-Fuel sports drink every day. I also love to grab an Invigor8 nutritional shake when I’m on the go, in the arena or at a competition.”
