Cora M. Jennissen
Through EquiPaso we became aware of Cora. Since she is not far from Münster at home, we have implemented Giannas partner shooting with Cora as a photographer and were immediately thrilled by her images and her uncomplicated, professional manner - in the meantime, she has accompanied our complete relaunch and we look forward to all upcoming projects. ♥︎

What do I report on my accounts?
My work as a self-employed, my studies and my life on our yard with our horses & foals.
How did I get into horses/ what is my "equine" background:
My parents are both riders and put me on my first shetty when I was 3 years old. Then I was allowed to learn from my teacher Orien and many other great horses. I rode dressage up to M** level and jumping up to L level. At some point we started breeding horses on our yard in East Westphalia & one of our foals was my current riding horse Chaccora. Since 2018, mainly due to time constraints, I only ride her & even switched from dressage saddle back to jumping saddle for that.
My absolute favorite horse:
Chaccora a.k.a. Chacci.
My most beautiful experience in connection with horses:
3rd place at the Westphalian Young Horse Championships 2011 with Franzi.
What is important to me in dealing, keeping and training with the horse:
Fairness towards the horse, being consistent, staying open for new/different approaches in handling & training and most importantly: always "turning on your head".
Life motto:
Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
Personal tip for our followers:
Stay away from negative people, they have a problem for every solution.
Biggest strength:
Aesthetics & efficiency.
Biggest weakness:
Chocolate & procrastination (but that's why efficiency).
Favorite Bense & Eicke product:
Starfinish Unicorn
Bense & Eicke products that should not be missing in your daily stable routine:
Natural hoof oil, Starfinish, Schmutzliese, SchnittBerta, Leather Cleaner & Conditioner, BiteStop.
Product from the equestrian sport, which I always have or love to use:
My Samshield helmet.
Recreational sports and other hobbies:
If I had time, I would play golf again. In winter skiing for a week, otherwise only gym & yoga from time to time. Since I turned my biggest hobby, photography, into a career, that leaves reading, Netflix & spending time with family and friends.
Favorite food:
French fries <3
Favorite vacation destination:
Côte d'Azur
What would I take with me to a deserted island:
My iPhone and camera equipment - nature photography here we go!
