OUR TEAM

Haley is the owner and operator of Canyon Creek Farm. She is deeply passionate about helping riders of all levels reach their full potential, from those enjoying recreational riding to athletes competing on the international stage. Haley takes pride in creating a supportive, encouraging environment where confidence, skill development, and a love of horses can grow together.

An avid and dedicated rider, Haley spends much of her time in the saddle with her horses, Dutch, Atlas and Remi. Whether she’s enjoying a quiet trail ride, participating in lessons with Olympians, or training and competing across North America, she is committed to continuously improving her horsemanship and bringing that knowledge back to her riders.

Haley holds her English Rider Level 8 and is both a Registered Equestrian Canada Coach and a Certified Competition Coach. Her coaching style focuses on strong foundational skills, rider confidence, and fostering meaningful horse–rider relationships.

In addition to running Canyon Creek Farm, Haley works full-time with the local school board in a French Immersion Kindergarten classroom. Her background in Early Childhood Education shines through in her teaching approach, as she creates engaging, inclusive, and positive learning experiences for all riders especially young learners.
