Jeff Lebbin
Board Of Directors
Jeff Lebbin is the visionary and behind the AHCA. He has brought this board together to start “an organization with integrity that highlights horsemanship in a competitive arena”. He is an accomplished trainer, clinician, and equine dentist. He lives in Swartz Creek, Michigan with his wife Rhonda where he runs his family-owned ranch, Enchanted Acres. Enchanted Acres is home to 60 head of horses, up to 20 head of cattle, and a pen full of Austrian Kelpies who help with ranch work. If you ever have a chance to meet this modern day cowboy, you’ll meet someone who loves his work and almost always has a smile on his face. It doesn’t matter if you’re a lifetime client or meeting Jeff for the first time, I guarantee he’ll make you laugh.
Growing up, Jeff’s family raised and showed Foundation Quarter Horses. By the age of ten he was training neighbors’ ponies for quarter mile driving races. By sixteen, Jeff had turned professional and was hired by multiple farms to train and show their class A Morgans, Arabians, and Quarter Horses in a variety of disciplines including western, hunt seat, saddle seat, reining, and dressage, earning several world titles. Jeff was a full time trainer by the age of eighteen, training all breeds and disciplines, including driving. In 1990 Jeff expanded his horse operation and started a horse and carriage company that included fourteen Percherons and several carriages, which were used for proms, weddings, and parties. He was even featured with these horses in a movie and multiple commercials.
