Jane debuted at the Grand Prix level in 2024 with Marcus Orlob in the saddle after starting her career with owner, Alice Tarjan, a longtime student of Orlob’s. Jane has been a part of the Tarjan/Orlob’s program since her purchase as a young horse, participating in the Young Horse program in the U.S. with Tarjan. Alice rode the mare to Small Tour level before handing the reins to Orlob, who made his first Grand Prix start with the KWPN mare in March of 2024. The pair has continued to gain experience at the level and impressed in the final observation outing for the Short List, earning 73.913% in the Grand Prix in Kronberg, followed by an impressive 75.340% in the Grand Prix Special.
