Angie grew up riding in BCs Lower Mainland taking regular lessons and partaking in summer camps and clinics. At a young age, horses became her passion. While attending UBC, Angie started volunteering with the BC Interior Horse Rescue where she helped out with morning feedings then transitioned to Secretary/Treasurer and then onto Equine Director. After graduating with her Bachelors in Management, Angie was gifted her heart horse, China. Through China, Angie learned what it really took to be a horsewoman and how important it is to listen to the horse. Wanting to learn more about the horse and to be able to do the best by China, Angie obtained her Diploma in Equine Performance Therapy in 2018 and completed a 5-day intensive program in Integrated Equine Therapies in 2019. Angie is looking forward to furthering her education with EQ Therapeutics and creating connections with you & your horse.
