Riding School Coordinator: Coach Emily

I have been ridding for the past 20 years. I am a winning Provincial, National & International level rider. I have represented as a rider for both Canada and the U.S.A teams at the international level. I have also dabbled in some natural horsemanship. 


PROFESSIONAL TRAINING: 

I have trained with the following equestrian professionals: Sherrie Fraser, Anne Zander, Peter Grey, Kate Farrell, Leslie Saila, Sarah Irving, Michelle Cruikshanks, Jim Dunn, Ian Roberts, Sylvia Decorah etc. This has given me the ability to tackle new and different situations day-to-day within the equestrian world and I have a better understanding of how a rider and horse must connect to get the best performance as well as how a rider must learn to adapt to each new situation and every day is different; ambition, determination, practice and patience are the key. 

I am currently riding under Mr. IAN ROBERTS, Olympian, Level 3 Coach and owner of the outstanding DREAMCREAST FARM. He is remarkable in his authentic adaptable unique and effective teaching style for top riders and pleasure riders alike. I Look forward to every lesson with Mr. Roberts & working on myself.    


TOP 4 MEMORABLE WINS: 
1. In 2007 I rode in CPC Training Level Dressage on a grey welsh pony gelding Named Lil' Ghost. This was memorable because, I trained "Ghost" from the ground up him being originally a rescue pony. We beat out many high end riders on warm bloods etc. that were bred to win. Ghost and I at the end of the year qualified and won second overall out of all of Ontario Training Level Dressage which is the equivalent to first level Dressage. It was a huge accomplishment for Ghost, my Coach,  his owners and I. 


2. When I was a part of the Canadian International Mounted Games Association team in 2008, I traveled to Botswana (in Africa) with my team and we won first overall beating out several other countries.
It was a life changing experience meeting so many different riders. 


3. In 2009 I was asked to join the U.S team where I competed for the Americans at an international show where my team and I placed second overall.


4, In 2010 I rode in D-2 D rally (Eventing) at Foggy River on Colbalt, a black and white CDN sport pony gelding. This was a year-end provincial show and Colbalt and I won third overall in the Dressage phase, First In the Stadium phase and first by a long shot in the cross country phase winning overall Champion in Ontario. This was memorable not only because of the title we won, but because for so long Colbalt’s ‘week spot’ was Dressage and we finally came to an understanding and beat out about 25 other competitors that day at the provincial level.


COACHING:

I personally have had students come home with top placings in OEA (Eventing), Dressage, Jumpers/Hunters both youth and rusty stirrup riders alike & pleasure and competitive riders alike! I enjoy teaching youth & rusty riders! The foundation is everything and every rider has been there.


As much as this sport is an individual sport between horse and rider combinations, I believe it is a team sport between all riders here at DenMar. I believe in instilling good character, responsibility, respect, leadership, confidence, sportsmanship and horsemanship qualities on an everyday basis and at competitions alike. We are the opposing barn you can count on for help, but will bring the heat in the show ring!

A bigger stronger friendly equestrian community means better competition and more opportunity for all! 

I am a realist and yet a dreamer. I'm meticulous, a perfectionist, a hard worker, a planner, I'm methodical and I appreciate every learning opportunity I have ever been given from little to big.


I hope this has helped you get to know me better!

French & English Speaking Coach: Jenna G.
I have been riding for 13 years & started off in the hunter equitation rings for many years and working my way into the jumper with winnings at the highest height of trillium jumpers 1.10m qualifying for provincial championships. Recently, I showed on the A circuit, national level as well as in the US with top placings. The past few years I catch ride and show sales horses for people on the national circuit and worked with top Grand Prix riders and coaches to help continue developing my personal riding & knowledge. 

My 3 favourite memories: 
1. I was a demo rider for the 1.10m jumpers at the Royal Winter Fair.This was such a great experience & opportunity.
2. Showing at World Equestrian Center in United States.
3. Being featured in horse sport magazine.

I am an Equine Canada certified coach and a certified course designer. I love being able to put my knowledge into teaching & developing beginner riders threw to higher levels. I have worked for and with many top professionals such as Olympic riders in the industry and have cared for top level FEI competition horses. I have studied many classes from Guelph university such as equine behavior, equine nutrition, anatomy and many more as I work towards optioning my diplomat in equine studies. I have trained with Rick bishop, Greg Kuti etc. 

Young Child Experience: 
My experience working in day cares as well as before and after school programs ranges from working with kids ages 1-12 years old. Working in an ECE workplace allows me to better understand kids and how they learn, gives me the insight on being able to accommodate to their own learning needs & style as well as being able to relate and work with them towards their goals all while maintaining a safe learning and rewarding environment. My work In day care also makes me a great resource for parents if they have any questions or concerns in regards to child developmental needs, working in a resource center we have many contacts in which we could forward them to if needed.


My goal as a coach is to be able to provide a friendly positive and safe learning environment utilizing my experiences & training to help riders reach there riding goals, all while having fun and making great memories!
