A rustic riding centre in the woods, with residential sessions for junior riders (summer, winter, March Break ), coaching, training and boarding. Our 2003 participants won several Dressage Championships, and also participated in showjumping, eventing, Prince Phillip Games, and hunter pace.
We believe in giving riders a taste of everything to sharpen their skills before they decide to specialize. We are primarily a dressage facility. In 2004 we will have three divisions of riders: (1) FEI Junior, Pony and Young Rider; (2) Pony Club and CADORA, and (3) General. First year riders will compete at the general level. Intermediate level riders who belong to Pony Club will attend Pony Club shows, and the non pony club riders will compete at CADORA and other non-Pony Club shows. Riders interested in using our horses for FEI levels should contact us for more details. (Horses are available for lease) Member of ARE-Ontario

I am a Level I Equestrian Coach, nationally certified by the CEF (Canadian Equestrian Federation), now Equine Canada, and the Ontario Equestrian Federation. I also hold an active International Trainers Passport, which means that I am qualified to teach in 23 European countries and Australia, as well as in Canada.

I teach a variety of students of all ages from beginners to more advanced, as well as training horses for my clients in the disciplines of jumping, dressage and eventing. I have been particularly successful with adult riders who want to have fun with their horses but need a little help with their confidence. In many cases, I have found that a weekly session is enough to get tangible results and allow busy working people to really enjoy the time they spend with horses.

I have recently relocated to Perth, Ontario and can travel to your barn, by arrangement, within a 1/2 hour distance, or please ask me about options for trailer-in lessons. I am also available for clinics and training sessions throughout the Ottawa Valley and New York State.
