Trainer Level: Certified NCCP Level III Dressage and Level III Eventing Coach

Joni Lynn Peters grew up riding, learning with, and truly admiring horses, both parents were avid horsemen themselves

Pony Club provided her first ‘formal’ education, leading to her achieving ‘A’ Level with honours; a career in Eventing to the International levels of competition on multiple horses developed by herself, with several of them being identified on the Canadian Team Long and Short List, and becoming Leading Lady Rider of Ontario six times;  and Level III national coaching certification, specializing in Eventing.

Joni turned her focus to Dressage after moving back ‘home’ to BC in 1994.  The Dressage phase of Eventing was always a strength for Joni and she wished to take it to a deeper level of training and competing.  Two of her top Event horses made the switch in disciplines, to compete to the FEI levels of Dressage and attain Canadian Team Short List status, before Joni purchased a horse to solely train in the Dressage discipline. Joni again developed several horses to the Canadian team Talent Identified, Long and Short Lists, for Dressage this time.

Joni has trained in France, Germany, USA, and Canada with world-renowned trainers who recognized and accepted her as a dedicated horseman in her own right.  Joni has been world rider ranked in Dressage, has had top 10 finishes in the 2012 London Olympic selection trials, (earning the FEI Certificate of Capability to compete), the 2014 Toronto Pan Am trials, and the 2016 Rio Olympic trials.  Joni’s accomplishments earned her an invitation to train with the Canadian team in Germany, and the right to compete in the Five Star CDI while in Florida.

Joni gained national Level III (High-Performance Coach ) Dressage Certification to add to her previously attained national Level III Event Coach certification.  Joni’s passion for horses and her pursuit of excellence comes across in her teaching.  Joni’s classical training, eye for detail, encouraging and sympathetic approach, and diverse background enables her to empathize with different horses and riders at all levels from basic to advanced, and the individual goals students have.  Joni loves to coach and train riders and horses of all stages and levels, and truly believes she herself learns from each pupil, equine or human.

“My entire Schleese saddle fitting experience was terrific! 

From the initial, exciting, invitation to try a Schleese saddle; to the tryout of countless models and styles with the ever patient fitting and adjustments by the wonderful Mariette Klemm; to the hands-on custom fitting to Travolta and myself of our chosen model by the one and only Jochen Schleese himself, (whom I have known since he moved to Canada); it was a positive, supportive, engaging time.  And with the tremendous care and attention to detail, it was love at first ride, which added to our comfort, confidence, and ability at the peak of our International Grand Prix competitive career in Dressage through two Olympic selection trials and one Pan American games trial!  The continued care of fit to an ever-changing horse was caring, detailed and professional in the utmost.

The commitment to quality and integrity demonstrated by the entire Schleese team at all times is highly valued by me and all who have experienced it.

Thank you to the entire Schleese team for helping to make our dream come true.”
