✨ Ashley ✨
Position: Office Support | Beginner Coach | Casual Stable Groom
Ashley’s love for horses began at just six years old when she started riding lessons, followed by attending summer camps from ages 10 to 17. During high school, she attended Bethany Hills School for Girls, where horses and riding were an integral part of school life. Her education combined riding lessons three times a week with equestrian theory classes, allowing her to develop her riding skills while deepening her understanding of horses and the horse-and-rider partnership. Students could also bring and keep their horses at the neighbouring Saddle Wood Stables, surrounded by paddocks, with opportunities to ride on weekends.
During these years, Ashley participated in Hunter/Jumper shows, dressage, and mounted games through friendly interschool competitions. She also had the opportunity to attend the Royal Winter Fair each year and the Kentucky Rolex Three-Day Event, where she participated in judging the cross-country phase. These experiences helped shape her lifelong appreciation for horses and equestrian sport.
After taking several years away from the equestrian world to raise her three daughters, Ashley was delighted to discover that they shared her love of horses. When it came time to enroll them in riding lessons, Ashley jumped back into the equestrian world with two feet.
Ashley is grateful to be part of the Valiant Equestrian team, where she enjoys spending time with the horses and getting to know the wonderful people who make up the barn community. She also supports the office by frequently responding to emails and coordinating makeup lesson arrangements for riders and families. Her lifelong love of horses, enthusiasm for learning, and appreciation for the daily care horses require make her a valued part of the Valiant Equestrian team.
