A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
SHOOT THE MOON
Shoot the Moon Farm, Oregon’s premiere horse farm since 1992, is owned and operated by Jennifer and Terry Rumburg. Jennifer’s passion for Mountain horses goes back to her time working at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. Terry has been working horses professionally since the age of 15.
The two met in 2001 at the Showcase of the West in Reno. Jennifer was showing a prize-winning Rocky Mountain horse named General Lee while Terry was there with Fairhills Farm showing American Saddle horses. Whether it was destiny or the intervention from a friend, the two found a mutual love for each other and all things equine. On Valentines Day in 2002, they were married and together forged ahead to meet the needs of future and present-day champions and their owners around the clock at Shoot the Moon Farm. Today, they specialize in horse breeding, training, riding lessons and sales.
