Stephanie GOlderTreasurerStephanie owns Squamish Therapeutic Horse Riding who primarily teaches neuro-diverse students on Pipps, a 10 year old American Paint. She also teaches clients who own or lease their own horse.
Stephanie has been riding horses for 30 years. She started riding as a child, in the UK and grew up doing Pony Club, and competing in the sports of Tetrathlon and Eventing. Since moving to Canada, she has worked at one of the largest certified Therapeutic Riding Facilities in the country. In moving to Squamish, she noticed a lack of opportunities for riders with diverse needs, but there was a huge demand for lessons. This is how Squamish Therapeutic Horse Riding came to be. Her priority for the SVEA, is to assist in growing the club, including erecting our coverall arena to allow for year round riding and equine experiences for people of all abilities in the Sea to Sky area. The community is growing at a rapid rate, and it’s time for us to have a community indoor arena to allow access to all. |
