About Haley
Haley's passion for riding developed at a young age. It wasn't long after starting lessons at a local riding school that she purchased her first horse and began competing at schooling shows and fairs. As her competitive career flourished it was clear that horses were becoming a life long passion for her.
Understanding the importance of well rounded riding education, Haley has trained with several top trainers. While studying for her undergrad at the University of Ottawa, Haley continues to work and train with international dressage riders Simone Williams and Oswaldo Lazzuri (Queenswood Stables), where she refines her flat work in order to produce better results over fences. After relocating to Toronto, Haley spent several years working under the tutelage of international show jumpers such as Kim Farlinger, where she continued to augment her formal riding education and produce great results in the show ring.
In 2014, Haley decided to return to her roots and pass on her worldly experiences to other horse enthusiasts in her hometown of Pembroke, ON. Haley is sought after not only for her profound knowledge of horse training, but also for her friendly demeanor.
Haley is also looking for new opportunities to learn. She continues to offer and attend clinics, and is enrolled in the Equine Canada competition coach certification program.
