Caroline Doat

 

Caroline joins Bold Vantage Farm from

France’s Institute Superior Agriculture. Like our other working

students form ISA she is studying agriculture, environment and the food industry,

hoping one day to chose a career from amongst these disciplines. Caroline started taking riding

lessons at the age of six, beginning her competitive jumping career age thirteen. Caroline

currently shows in the m 1.20s, although sadly we didn’t show this summer to

take advantage of her experience in the ring. She has also tried eventing,

vaulting and dressage but now prefers to work mostly with young

horses. We at Bold Vantage are thankful for that!

Anna-Lena joined Bold Vantage Farm from

the Schleswig-Holstein region of Germany.  Anna is currently

who started her riding career with vaulting, when she was some four-years-old.

2010

Marine Deleuze

Marine came to Bold Vantage Farm as an exchange student from

France in 2010.  As part of her studies at her agriculture college, she was required to work

abroad in some professional capacity.  Though Marine had never actually shown before she joined us,

she racked up the ribbons over the course of her stay, exhibiting bags of courage in the ring and tons of initiative and

pluck in everything else she did.  Since returning to France and completing her studies,

Marine has been employed with a branch of the Haras Nationaux.

 

 

2009

Peggy Parkes

Peggy was with Bold Vantage Farm for the 2009 season. 

As a licensed Certified Horsemanship Association member, she has ridden,

trained and worked with all breeds of horses across many disciplines in B.C. and Alberta for

close to twenty years. Peggy brought to our team a trainer’s enthusiasm for

hot-blooded horses and is one of the most knowledgeable horse industry

professionals we know.  Sadly, we lost Peggy’s services

to a knee injury requiring surgery.
