What Our Members Say
“In my experience, Jane is a qualified coach because of her extensive knowledge, her ability to create a fun, varied, and safe learning environment and her commitment to developing athleticism in both horse and rider. Jane has an approach that honours both the horse and rider in their development, both psychologically and physically.

“Jane invests boundless, passionate energy in the progression of her students. Her role as coach does not start and stop with lessons; she is always thinking about her students and how to best set them up for success. She sets a strong example by always aspiring to greatness herself, with her own horses, and showing passion for the sport in every way. Jane eagerly shares knowledge, holding in very high regard the importance of student and horse health and happiness. She has coached me at every level of dressage and on many horses of varying levels up to Grand Prix.”

“So proud of Amelia and Sergei! In December 2022 her coach, Jane Lloyd- Smith, proposed a plan to get her and Sergei to an international competition. Training started in January, and after 3 competitions, they got qualifying scores and were selected for the junior team to represent Canada at the North American Youth Championships (a competition involving 10 countries)…what an experience this has been. Amelia has met some amazing people, seen what is possible in the dressage world and has had the the most amazing support from her team. Go Canada go!”
