Hi! My name is Maddie Quinton, and I am a 19-year-old equestrian from Calgary, Alberta. My horse "Fedex" and I competed in all three rings, but a highlight of our partnership was our 6th overall placing at the CET National Finals during the Royal Winter Fair. In addition to our success in the Equitation ring, we competed in the hunter derbies and the 1.30 jumpers! Recently, I welcomed "Lennox WV," an 8-year-old gelding, into the family, and I hope to compete in the U25/1.45s with him in the future! I could not be more excited to be an ambassador for ARMATEQ! 

• Hey, I’m Paige! I am a professional hunter/jumper rider & trainer based out of Alberta, Canada. The past few years I have been working along side a few well known trainers in the industry to develop my skills and knowledge as a young professional. A few of my accomplishments include placing 7th in the 1.20m Canadian Championships and competing with a very challenging gelding to 1.30m!
• As of January 2024, I am excited to have officially opened my home farm based out of Raymond, Alberta. Currently I am focusing on developing my first home bred foal who is turning 4 this year, continuing to progress through the heights with my gelding (pictured above; Doctor Apollo) and hopefully jump a couple U25 before I age out at the end of 2025. I am super excited to be apart of #TeamARMATEQ!

Hi! I’m Sophie, and I have been riding horses since I was five years old. I began working in Southlands when I was ten at different barns to pay for riding lessons. Since then, I have been developing my riding career and competing in show jumping. Currently, I mainly show in jumpers, but I occasionally show in hunters and equitation. I have also competed in lower-level dressage with my rescue horse, Foster who I purchased in 2018. I spend most of my free time at the barn schooling ponies or riding my other horse, London who I recently got in March of 2022. London and I compete at different venues across B.C. in the jumper ring. I can't wait for next show season to see what London and I accomplish!

Hi, my name is Clara! I am a Canadian showjumper & developing 3-day Eventer as well as a proud member of Team ARMATEQ! I ride two horses, the first being a lovely warmblood by the name of Cro (show name: Capiche). She is my current showjump horse and though we are fairly new to each other, I hope to bring her to plenty of competitions this year! My second horse is an Appaloosa/Welsh Pony named Beauty (Show name: Supernova) who I am training to be my event pony. We have grown up together, and my parents purchased her as a small trail pony to be my learning horse when I was 5. Since then we have been constantly growing together, fighting many battles including severe ulcers and other medical conditions. Though these challenges were not easy, they have brought us closer together and strengthened our bond. Riding has been a lifelong passion of mine and it is my dream to share it with others. (Photo Credit: Jakob BD)

Hi! I’m Brandi and I am a amateur hunter/jumper from BC! I started riding at age 5 and now own a 8 year old Thoroughbred mare named Aurora. I bought Aurora as a 3 year old off the track and have developed her myself into quite the phenomenal show horse. My favourite classes to compete in are the New Stride Thoroughbred Adoption Jumper Challenges because it gives me the chance to showcase how adaptable thoroughbreds can be to a new career after their track life. I also currently attend university and am on the way to getting my bachelor’s degree in criminology. When I’m not writing essays or competing you can always find me at the barn.

As a coach myself I firmly believe in furthering your education to develop as a rider and teacher. I’m very passionate about bringing new ideas and techniques to my team and students so that they can succeed. Very excited to have Armateq as a partnership going forward for myself and my team!
