When it comes to horses, she has inherited her fathers and grandfathers lifelong passion for the breeding, raising, and showing of the registered American Saddlebred Horse. She is a member of the American Saddlebred Association.

Her grandfather, Andrew Jackson Palmer, was a farmer and carpenter who helped build the State Capitol Building in Frankfort, KY. He owned a large farm that bordered the Kentucky River in Eastern Kentucky's Madison County. Besides the many different farm animals, he always kept registered American Saddlebred horses. Her grandfather would tell her dad as a little boy, Son, always keep this breed of horse on your farm. "They will move your heart."

When her father, Judge Andrew Jackson Palmer II, graduated from the University of Kentucky Law School in 1952, he moved to Paducah to practice law. He held the office of McCracken County Attorney and County Judge from 1965 to 1974. During that time he owned a small farm near Lone Oak where Jennifer learned to ride horses, the beloved breed of the Palmers. She fondly remembers her first pony, Judy Sue. She and Judy Sue participated in many equestrian events, and Jennifer continues to compete in horse shows in Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Alabama.

Jennifer now owns descendants of the horses that her dad rode to school in Madison county , Eastern Ky. She has ridden and shown this breed of horse (ASB) since she was six years old.
