Hello!

 I am a FEI dressage rider and young professional currently based in Haldimand, Ontario.. My passion for horses started from a very young age- both of my parents rode, and brought me to the barn before I was a year old. The word “horse” was one of my first words, and I began to ride at the age of 5.

Some of the most memorable achievements are; twice being listed to Ontario Equestrian’s Team GRIT (run by Christilot Boylen and Ian Millar), twice named to Canada’s National team program, twice representing Canada at NAYC with top 5 finishes, being declared for the 2023 Pan Am games, as well as being invited to ride in the 2023 RAWF.  This year I  produced and competed my first horse to Grand Prix, competing successfully in short Grand Prix’s with scores to 67%. I am fortunate to have a good foundation from my mentor and guru of 9 years, 6 time Olympian; and master Cindy Ishoy.  Our continued collaboration allows me to confidently develop  horses for the future. I have also been fortunate to have ridden with Canadian Olympian Tom Dvorak (from ages 8-12), German Olympic gold medallist Ingrid Klimke, and the president of the FEI ground jury, Stephen Clarke.
