Shauna La Pierre began riding at the Halifax
Junior Bengal Lancers and worked her way through the ranks, becoming assistant instructor, and finally head instructor. In
1982 she obtained her CEF Level 1 English Coaching Qualification.
During several years teaching at the Lancers she gained valuble coaching
experience in hunter, equitation, 1 day event, dressage, and Musical Ride. She competed successfully in hunter, eventing,
and dressage and was fortunate to obtain instruction from several national level coaches including Cindy Ishoy, and Robin
Hahn. After leaving the Lancers she attended Dalhousie University and completed a Physiotherapy degree.
More recently she attended the 1999 Dr. Reiner Klimke Symposium (with
Lynda Tellington-Jones) in Los Angeles and the 2001 Dressage Canada National Coaches/Trainers Symposium in Toronto.
Shauna is a life long learner, a strong believer in correct basics,
and holds the view that horse is number one! She is excited to now have the opportunity to offer a quality equestrian
experience to aspiring riders.
