Get ready for a fun and competitive weekend celebrating horsemanship, skill, and community.

 

Lynette is a highly skilled Professional Driver, Certified Driving Instructor, Licensed Western Riding Instructor, and Certified Practitioner in Equine Bodywork and Taping.

 

Her passion for horses began in early childhood, leading her to compete in open shows as a young rider. She gained experience in both Western and English disciplines, including Dressage and Speed Events.

 

After relocating to the Okanagan, Lynette and her family built and managed an equine boarding facility in Southeast Kelowna. She became an active member of the ICHA, competing in local cutting events before transitioning into reining and later returning to All-Around competition. Her journey in the show ring expanded to AQHA events, taking her across Canada and the United States.

 

Lynette’s accomplishments include multiple ROMs, Top 10 US National Awards, Canadian National Awards, an AQHA Rookie of the Year title, Cutting awards, Futurity placings, and multiple invitations to the AQHA World Show in Trail, Western Riding, and Horsemanship.

 

Beyond competition, Lynette is a dedicated volunteer and advocate for the equestrian community. As a member and director of the South Central Quarter Horse Association, she has served as a judge, ring steward, trail course designer, and show assistant at various events and futurities.

 

Now residing in Kelowna’s Lower Mission, Lynette is focused on her career as a Professional Driver and Instructor while developing a riding program that fosters a strong, meaningful connection between horse and ride from “Stable to Stirrup.”
