BY RIDGEWOOD FARM - Key Persons

Adrienne has been riding for over 20 years. While taking lessons as a teen, she worked her way from helping kids in the barn to teaching camp and lessons until university. Adrienne also teaches Group Exercise classes at GoodLife Fitness. Coaching and encouraging people of all ages is what her heart loves most.

Julie, a certified EC riding instructor, started riding at the age of seven and quickly fell in love with the sport. Julie took her love for riding and began teaching beginner lessons and camp as a teenager, which lead to several horse related jobs including running a private barn where she backed and trained young horses. She also showed on the Trillium circuit in many different divisions. After getting married and having children Julie moved away from riding to focus on her family until her daughter took up riding. It was clear Julie's daughter shared the same passion for horses as she did. After several years at Ridgewood Farm as a customer, Julie became more and more involved and eventually obtained her certification for coaching and began teaching most of our young beginners. Julie consistently brings her passion and dedication to work every day and is now living her dream, teaching and riding horses.

Michelle Reeve attended University of Toronto for Humanities and Centennial College for Marketing. With a love for people and an extreme extrovert, Michelle is in her element looking after everything that makes Ridgewood tick. Usually found in the barn chatting and making sure everyone and every horse is happy, this is the dream job she never expected!

As a young boy, Tyler grew up living beside a horseback riding school. He fell in love with riding after his older sister took up the sport and he has never looked back.
