2025 was such an incredible year! Super excited to look into 2026 and continue growing as both a coach and a vaulter. I’ve decided to stop holding back on what I love to do, so I’ve decided to take on part time hours at my job in order to have more time for coaching! Can’t wait for this next step! For now, I’ll continue to expand my knowledge and skills so I can be the best coach I can be next year.

I always forget I have this account. But a small update. I’ve been busy gearing up for my first CVI 1* competition and it’s been a journey of blood (yes) sweat and tears but I couldn’t be more grateful for the team and support behind me. This Saturday we have our clubs summer showcase from 4:30-7:30!

BIOGRAPHY ❤️
Makayli has always had an intuitive way with animals. Especially horses. As a child Makayli had a passion for horses and the equestrian world. As she grew up she taught herself through the sport of horses. It started with a passion. She taught herself how to ride, and eventually she had the gift of owning her own horses. From that moment on she was determined to turn her dreams into a reality. Her dream was to learn from the best, broaden and sharpen her skills with horses. She graduated high school in 2019. And that fall was accepted into Olds College for the Equine Science Diploma which she graduated from in 2021. Through the Equine Science program she learned anatomy and physiology of the equine species, training and support for green horses, coaching both flat, lunging and stable management lessons and so much more. She is a Trained Equine Canada Coach (not yet certified), and she has passed her rider level 6 exams with Equestrian Canada. Makayli is also an avid and inspiring Equestrian Vaulter. She started training at 19 years old, three years later she is competing in 1* Canter Vaulting and was 2023s Provincial Advanced Canter Champion. She will be training to become an equestrian vaulting coach this summer 2024. She hopes to one day open a vaulting club of her own and teach people of all ages the beautiful and special sport of vaulting. She wants everyone to learn and love growth and how you can start any sport with horses at any age! She hopes to coach and own a club of her own. In order to guide people through this sport.
Makayli says “One of the reasons I fell I love with vaulting was because of the bond you’re able to create with the horses. It’s truly a special blend of being strong and also being aware of your partner (the horse). Us as vaulters need to be aware of ourselves in order to allow the horses to do their job of carrying us. We are strong and soft so they are able to keep us safe, and confident. It’s truly a blessing to create a partnership such as that between vaulter and horse.”

The last weekend of September was an exciting one for me!
I competed at the BC Provincial Vaulting Championships landing in 1st and 3rd for my classes I competed in. Proud of myself for preserving my dreams and putting hard work into action to see improvement!

Something that has always resonated with me is the peace and clarity I feel while working with horses. It’s truly magical, one of the main reasons I love teaching youth is watching them become more connected with themselves and their equine partners. It’s gives us a different type of peace and love for this animal as we work together to reach our own individual goals. Truly amazing to see the science behind it and learn about how the horses heart puts out an electromagnetic field and coherent heart pattern and how it truly influences us. We can feel it. Horses heal and horses give a love that’s unconditional❤️❤️

When I was younger I vaulted for a few months, but unfortunately had to quit! In fall 2020 I made the decision to get back into the sport of vaulting, and I’m sure glad I did! What started out as vaulting lessons soon turned into friendship, volunteering, and then a job as a coach!
From the beginning of my vaulting journey till now, I had put in the hours on the horse, on the barrel and in the gym to get where I am as a vaulter! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!

Hello Everyone! My name is Makayli I am 20yo, I have recently moved back to the East Shore after being away in Alberta for two years for College and Career specific training. I am going to be starting up a small lesson and training program for residents of the East Shore so we can all learn and thrive together as equestrians!

My experience and training is as follows⭐️:

⭐️ Equine Science Diploma through Olds College- courses completed include:
- Marketing II
- Equine Anatomy and Physiology
- Equine Nutrition
- Breeding Fundamentals
- Training the Young/Green Horse
- Coaching- lesson programs, training programs, teaching safe and correct lessons (I have completed ALL the training and ALL the testing to become a certified registered Equine Canada Coach just waiting on certification)

⭐️ Assistant Equestrian Vaulting Coach

- Working with MCVC in Olds AB I was an assistant coach, working with the kids to create a safe, fun, and inspiring learning environment. I was in charge of helping with the upkeep of barn, facilities, and horses. As well as teaching students how to vault correctly and safely on the horse and off the horse.
- At MCVC we had a very friendly and fun atmosphere, this place really helped shape me into who I am today!

⭐️ Working with Green/Young horses
- I’ve worked with un started AQHA summer 2021
- With Olds College I worked with many Green horses, helping them reach their full potential with weekly and 60 day training plans including lunging for improvement, dressage days with lateral exercises, Jump/pole development days, and groundwork.

I hope this gives you all a bit more insight of my equestrian knowledge! I’m very excited to see who is interested in what I have to teach 😊🎉
