Amanda McConnell Fancher

Amanda didn’t just grow up around horses—she was basically born mid-stride in the saddle.
Littleton, Colorado raised and ring-ready early, she comes from a deep-rooted equestrian family that doesn’t just ride… they build horses. By middle school she wasn’t dabbling—she was already stepping into the 1.30m ring, Welcome classes, and even her first Grand Prix. Casual.
She’s done it all—pony hunters to junior hunters, jumpers to USEF Talent Search to Young Riders—stacking miles, grit, and serious feel long before most riders find their rhythm.
But this wasn’t about rushing—it was about learning the right way. Reading horses. Producing them. Staying steady under pressure.
She’s ridden everything from ponies to 18-hand gentle giants, from green young horses to seasoned pros—quietly putting in the work and making horses alongside her family for years. No shortcuts. No fluff.
Now she’s running the show at Coventry Farms with her sisters Emily and Stephany—keeping it real with a program built on horsemanship, patience, and long-game results. And when it comes to young warmbloods, that’s her lane.
Enter Ice Tea—her current project and rising star. Scope, heart, brain—the full package. The pair has been stepping into the 1.30m+ ring from Colorado to California, consistently taking top placings and building serious momentum in the young jumper ranks.
Off the horse, she’s just as grounded—devoted mom, mountain resets, hot springs, and hands in the dirt planting flowers and growing her own food.
Amanda brings grit, feel, and quiet confidence.
She shows up and delivers.
Welcome to the Rebel side.
