PAST EXECUTIVES

Amy grew up on a boarding farm, in the small town of Beaver Bank, Nova Scotia. Thanks to her mother's love for riding, Amy has been in the saddle since before she could walk. At the young age of 9, Amy began her dressage career, which took her from Basic 1, to 4th level within a matter of years. Jumping, however, had always been her passion.
During her Junior years, Amy continued to compete and train in various disciplines, thankful for her dressage background. She received numerous horses in for training and sales, and also taught beginners on school horses, nervous adults on their own horses, and juniors on their own children’s hunters. As well, she enjoyed catch riding large ponies, children’s and pre-green hunters, and even entry-level eventers. Amy spent a summer as a working student in New Jersey, and traveled all over the American East Coast, grooming and competing in equitation classes on a borrowed horse.
While attending Acadia University and earning a Bachelor of Business Administration, Amy continued to ride and compete for the Equestrian Team. Amy’s family moved to Ontario during this time, and she spent summers training and riding the family’s home-bred babies.
Amy has been part of every aspect of a horse’s career, from the very beginning stages of breaking, to prepping for and competing in the upper levels of dressage and jumping. She has also worked with everything from the greenest of ponies, to the OTTB, to the Grand Prix showjumper; hot, difficult, problem, or “re-trainee” horses are not an issue.
Amy was head coach of the team for ten years, from 2013 to 2024, passing the torch to our current head coach after the '23/'24 season. As an integral part of so many riders successes on our team, we are so lucky to have had Amy as a coach. Thank you for all the time and dedication put into the team, we couldn't have done it without you!
