Fieldgate Stables was created in April, 2008 as a facility that provides an excellent boarding service with a friendly, positive atmosphere for an affordable price.
Our Experience
We are Susan Coxhead and Michelle Vaillancourt, a mother and daughter team, dedicated to promoting horsemanship at all levels.
Susan (Sue) has been involved in the horse business for over 25 years in various capacities from barn worker and coach to facility manager. Sue has also had a great deal of training and experience in barn management as well as all aspects of horse care and believes in continuing education to ensure the excellence of the services we provide. Teaching and focusing on the basics, Sue provides students with a solid foundation to allow them to excel in their chosen discipline and in the show ring.
Michelle started riding at the age of 5 and quickly fell in love with the horses and the sport. Despite a few setbacks along the way, Michelle started part-boarding and showing when she was 10 and never looked back. Progressing from part-boarding to horse ownership at 14, Michelle dedicated herself to learning as much as she could about training and caring for horses. Michelle has worked at a number of barns from very busy school barns, where she did barn work and teaching, to more high-end "A" barns. Currently, Michelle is training several horses for showing and teaching a select number of students for our Show Team.
Our Plan for the Future
Our plan for the future is to continue to provide quality boarding services at an affordable price, which can be difficult to find so close to major urban centres and add more servics as we go.
We are holding monthly in-house themed schooling shows with a couple of fun shows added to provide variety and to reward the efforts of hard work. Our shows have been a great hit with our competitors and spectators alike. We also organize monthly activities for our clients to get to know each other and enhance the positive atmosphere at the barn.
