Area equestrian group appoints Jill Hunt as board president

Plantation Field Equestrian Events (PFEE), a non-profit organization committed to promoting national and international equestrian sport, recently announced that Jill Hunt has been appointed as the new President of its board of directors. 

“I am honored and excited to take on this role,” Hunt said. “I look forward to working alongside our dedicated board members and volunteers to enhance the PFEE experience and focus on the events, horses and riders.”

PFEE is also appointing Molly Pellegrini as a new board member. Pellegrini currently serves as a member of the USEA Board of Governors and has held leadership roles, including vice president of administration & finance and chairing multiple committees such as the Intercollegiate Eventing Committee and Emerging Athletes U21 Task Force. She is also the 2025 USEA president-elect.

PFEE supports numerous beneficiaries, including the United States Equestrian Team, the United States Eventing Association, The Barn at Spring Brook Farm, the Chester County Food Bank, the Retired Racehorse Project, and Work to Ride. In 2025 and beyond, PFEE will remain committed to maintaining its status as one of the premier 4* events in the U.S. with plans to 

enhance footing and revamp cross-country fences at all levels, continue its investments in water and turf development and partner with Devyn Ivy Media to strengthen its brand visibility, grow audience engagement and attract sponsorships. 

“On behalf of PFEE, I’m delighted to welcome Jill Hunt and Molly Pellegrini to the board,” said board member Katie LaDow. “Their leadership experience, extensive networks and commitment to equestrian sport will greatly benefit PFEE’s mission and the sport of eventing nationwide.”
