Our Team of Professionals

Working together to make dreams come true


We offer a progressive development program for riders of all levels from beginner to "A" circuit competitors. We are committed to developing strong, confident, and educated athletes who not only produce excellent competitive results, but love the day to day training process.


Our program is based on the North American Forward Riding System that teaches riders to follow the forward balance of their horse, allowing horses to move freely and cultivate their natural agility, balance, and self carriage. This system has proven to bring out the best athletic performance in today's modern sport horse. 


We believe in keeping our horses fit, fresh, and interested in their work. To do so we maintain a great balance between flat work, gymnastic training, course schooling, and hacking outside of the ring. To compliment our program, we hold regular clinics with high performance clinicians from across North America. 


Our team competes on both the local show circuit, and the Equine Canada Gold rated circuit including; Thunderbird Show Park, Milner Downs, Rocky Mountain Show Jumping, Spruce Meadows, Desert International Show Park, and Blenheim. 

Lindsay Legroulx - Head Trainer/Program Director

Lindsay was drawn to horses at an early age, and found herself immersed in the equestrian world as soon as possible. Never afraid of hard work, Lindsay was always keen to work for lessons as a child, and a working student as a teen and young adult. It was here that she learned all of the inner workings of training and developing Hunter/Jumper horses. Equi-Life Sport Horses was originally founded in 2006 as a training and sales business, and it wasn't until a few years later that Lindsay discovered how much she truly enjoyed teaching and developing riders. Since then Lindsay has trained horses and riders from first rides to National Hunter Derbies, and Grand Prix success. Lindsay is especially passionate about developing junior riders and is always on the look out for that special combination of talent, work ethic, and character to take to the top of the sport.

Paige Scott - Beginner/Novice Instructor

Paige began as a student of Equi-Life at the age of ten. Throughout her junior years, she had great success showing in the hunter ring. She returned to us as a young adult keen to develop her riding career, and become a key part of our coaching team.

Jesse Legroulx - Operations Manager

After convincing Lindsay to take the leap to pursue a career with horses, Jesse proclaimed "I'm all in" and has proven to be just that. Jack of all trades Jesse has put his heart in to building Equi-Life from the ground up, to what it is today. From building barns, hauling horses, and managing all aspects of daily operations, Jesse is truly the oil that keeps the gears turning. Aside from managing operations of the business, Jesse also has a special hand when working with horses. From ground work, trailer loading, or handing difficult horses, Jesse is always there with incredible patience and timing. Jesse does all the hauling for our team of horses, as well as operates Equi-Life Transport.
