Definitely a barn to check out

I've been in search of a good facility to ride at and I will say the can be quite picky. I've been involved with horses since I was little, competed and worked at Woodbine, so I do know the field. This barn has great facilities, and the owner/head coach has been amazing. I have now completed 6 lessons with essons with her, she makes sure to correct and push at exactly the pace I need.

Definitely a barn to check out and see if it is right for you

A fantastic place!!

BR Equestrian is a wonderful place to develop great horsemanship and riding skills, regardless of whether you are just being introduced to riding, or are a more experienced rider looking to advance your skills. Suzanne is a fantastic coach - she carefully assesses your riding level and goals, so that she can tailor lessons accordingly to help you achieve them. She places a strong emphasis on having a solid basis to build from, so that both horse and rider feel comfortable, confident, and effective as a partnership. Additionally, her lessons are enjoyable and rewarding, with a perfect combination of humor and seriousness when teaching new skills. The facility is very well equipped (with multiple indoor arenas) and professionally run. Suzanne, Taylor and the entire staff are extremely kind and helpful, as are the rest of the barn family. A fantastic place! ... Show More

I would highly recommend BR!!

I would highly recommend BR!! Suz is absolutely amazing and is such a wonderful coach, and barn owner! I have learned so much from Suz in such a short amount of time, she’s a coach that actually enjoys what she does and is very good at what she does. Suz has always taken the time to answer my many questions and been incredibly kind and welcoming to me. The environment of BR is lovely, all the barn staff are excellent! Everyone treats the horses with respect, and kindness, they are all very spoiled and taken care of! The facility is beautiful and there’s lots of room; for a barn with lessons it doesn’t feel busy and still has a small community feel which is a super rare find! I would definitely recommend BR for both lessons and boarding!! Huge thank you to Suz and her team for having us and being so welcoming us, we are truly grateful to be a part of such a lovely barn community :)

You rock BR Equestrian!

An amazing riding stable for first timers! I’ve been riding here for three years and love it so much! The lesson horses and the coach’s are amazing! They allow you on hot summer days if your horse is sweaty to bath the horse and it’s so fun! I recommend for your young kid or just if your switching barns to come here!

You rock BR Equestrian

I couldn't ask for better!

"I can't say enough about Suzanne and the BR Equestrian team. Since the day we met, Suz has taught me so much. She takes the time to understand every rider's goals and pushes you towards those at a pace that makes sense for you and your horse. I look forward to every lesson and continuing to learn from her. />
Plus, the atmosphere at this barn is truly one-of-a-kind. It is SO positive and encouraging. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and supportive. I couldn't ask for better!

I've never progressed as much or as quickly as i have with Suzanne.

"Suzanne is one of the best coaches I've had. She knows when to push you, or when to take a step back if needed. Has a million different ways to explain something and won't stop until its something you can understand. I've never progressed as much or as quickly as i have with Suzanne. She really teaches the real art of riding not just the easy stuff and even if your in it just for fun she trains you like a pro and gives it 100%." ... Show More

Suzanne is amazing

"Suzanne is amazing. She insists on students having a good basis to build on (balance & form). She understands the thoughts, feelings & fears of not just the rider but the horse as well. She gives individual attention to each rider & has lots of exercises & ways to correct bad habits. She teaches skills appropriate for the rider’s level but always encourages her students to be the best they can be. Because she has competed at a high level & is qualified to judge some competitions, she has the technical knowledge for those who wish to ride competitively. However- her best quality is that she really cares about her students & their safety & always makes riding fun. She is truly an awesome coach. ... Show More

The best I’ve had in my riding career!

"Amazing atmosphere, accompanied with high end training - the best I’ve had in my riding career! Suzanne has taught me more since I restarted lessons last year than I had in my previous almost 20 years with other coaches. BR Equestrian exemplifies what it means to have a barn family, and is by far the best facility I have been at in my almost 20 years of being around horses.


They also helped me in finding and owning my amazing new riding partner, a dream of mine since I was a child. In my lesson plan, Suzanne is working with my new horse and I to build our relationship and ensure success for our future showing endeavours.

OUR KIDS review of BR Equestrian

our take

A love of horses is just the start, and a good (or even great) equestrian school fosters that love, making even the most menial tasks of horse care enjoyable. BR Equestrian is run by owner and Head Coach Suzanne Welsh, who had a storied competitive career, working with top-level people throughout. All lessons take place at the full-service facility that is heated where it needs it, making for a much more enjoyable experience for riders. The training at BR is head-of-the-class, with students making their biggest strides because of the individual attention and understanding of what riders need to learn best. That’s not to say riders won’t be pushed to explore their limits, but it is always done in a friendly and supportive way. All levels of abilities are welcome, from never having ridden a horse to honing the skills of the most competitive riders. Riders are taught more than just how to ride a horse—a horse’s care, health, equipment, and behaviour are all explored at BR, for a comprehensive lesson that focuses on successful riders and happy horses.
