who we are
Green Horse Enterprises’ mission is to seek out and promote opportunities for positive environmental action linked to equestrian farms and competition venues.
Jane Thery is a life-long equestrian and specialist in international diplomacy and economics. Her commitment to the stewardship of equestrian lands began as a focused effort to give back to the wonderful world of horses and to promote sound environmental practices through strategic alliance building, measurable results, and linking horse farms to stewardship advocacy programs and technical and financial assistance.
Ms. Thery founded the Farm Stewardship Committee of the Maryland Horse Council which holds regular events to promote horse farm stewardship. Under her leadership, the Committee promoted the Maryland Association of Soil Conservation District's Farm Stewardship Certification and Assessment Program (FSCAP) for horse farms, raising the number of certified horse farms from one to over thirty.
Ms. Thery forged alliances with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the Maryland Department of the Environment, and the Soil Conservation District Offices to promote best practices and highlight horse farms with excellent farm stewardship for healthy horses and a healthy environment. She served on a Maryland State task force on composting regulation, representing the Maryland Horse Council.
Ms. Thery was appointed to the Advisory Council of the Equine Land Conservation Resource (ELCR) in 2019 and the Yale Blue Green Alumni Board in 2020. She is presently competing with her Maryland-based Selle Francais gelding, Quattro au Lait, at Third Level Dressage and has a happily-retired Thoroughbred Eventing mare, Pimienta, in the Shenandoah Valley.
