My Story

In 1996 I purchased the horse that would change my life, Tinkerbell or “Tink”, as I affectionately called her. Over the next 17 years, we rode and competed, and I learned how to care for, feed and be responsible for my equine partner. Tink helped me realize that horses and all things equine were my path in life and so began my dream of having and operating an equine facility of my own.

I enrolled and graduated from the Equine Sciences program at Olds College, during which time I worked for a Thoroughbred Lay Up and rehabilitation facility near Didsbury. The opportunity to work alongside the owners of that facility and other equine professionals provided me with valuable information I am so thankful for. My standards and protocols to care for everything from healthy to injured, sick or aging horses develop their knowledge and guidance, I use those approaches at my facility today. After graduating and working at numerous equine facilities over the years, my dream was realized and in October 2009, Wheatland Equestrian opened its doors.

I’m passionate about the care and well-being of horses, and my objective is to provide horses, boarders and riders of all ages and disciplines a fun, safe, non-competitive, leisure facility where they feel welcome to enjoy. My husband Jesse and our two children live on the property along with many other much-loved four-legged pets.
