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! 

Chelsea is a rider/trainer based outside of Orangeville, ON. She grew up along the ocean outside of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

When not working you can find her on the farm enjoying her horses, dogs and two children! Chelsea loves and stands behind the ARMATEQ line, she is looking forward to representing and teaming up with #teamARMATEQ. 

Hi, I’m Georja, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be an ambassador for Armateq! I’ve been riding for just under four years and am currently a junior rider.

Together we compete in first level dressage. We are hoping to attend a lot of shows this coming season. I also have a pony named Ladybug (on the right).

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.
