AMBASSADOR RIDERS
Meet the 2025 Ambassador Team
HealthEquine Therapies is delighted to offer our Ambassador Sponsorship Program.
JUSTINE ROBERTS & COWBOY
"Hi! I'm Justine and this is my 16 year old Canadian X Paint horse gelding, Cowboy! When I'm not busy with my day job, working in the community with adults living with acquired brain injuries, I'm spending my time riding and working through the levels of dressage. I've been riding since I was 8, but my passion and main focus for the last 5 years has been dressage. With the help of my amazing coach, I've brought Cowboy through the levels and we're currently schooling Third Level in both the traditional and western dressage rings! We hope to make our third level competition debuts in the 2025 show ring and look forward to learning from as many clinicians as possible.
I've always been so impressed with Lauren's ability to work dynamically to address any of my concerns while paying attention to Cowboy's needs. He is also so relaxed in her presence and enjoys his sessions, always coming back to work even better the next day! Keeping Cowboy fit and healthy has always been a top priority for me, and Lauren is an invaluable part of team!"
Accomplishments:
2022 - Second Level AA Reserve Champion at Caledon Dressage
2022 - Second Level AA Third Place at Silver at Dressage Championships
2023 - Second Level AA Champion at Dressage Niagara
2024 - First Level Western Dressage Reserve Champion
GABE REEDER & GOOSE
"Hello, my name is Gabe Reeder, I am 13 years old, I have been riding for ten years and have roped for the past four years. My partner Goose is a 9-year-old paint gelding that I have had for the past 4 years. We work together on the heel side and travel throughout Ontario, Quebec, and hopefully into the United States this summer. Goose and I take part in everything from local jackpots to Ontario High School Rodeo Association (OHSRA) rodeos, to even International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA) rodeos.
Last summer I participated in 10 IPRA Rodeos as well as throughout the spring and fall I was busy roping in 6 OHSRA rodeos as well as numerous jackpots. There are also various clinics I am looking to go to, to help me further my roping skills as well as to better my horsemanship. A couple of goals I have for this upcoming rodeo season would be to make it to the “pay window” at an IPRA sanctioned rodeo as well as to enter a rodeo in the Tie-Down roping event.
HealthEquine Therapies has played a crucial role in Goose’s and my success by Lauren taking the time to show me stretches to benefit Goose as well as developing preventative program that works best for Goose as it is essential that he is always feeling at his best."
Accomplishments:
2022 – Roping Association of Ontario number 1 division heeler year end champion
2023 – Roping Association of Ontario number 1 division heeler year end champion and finals champion
2024 – OHSRA Junior Division Heeling champion
Lincoln BOSCH & ben
"My name is Lincoln Bosch. My equine partner Ben is a 19 year old Quarter horse. I've been team roping for about 16 years n ow, and for 14 of those years, Ben has been my heading partner. We've participated in many roping practices, jackpots, rodeos and clinics together. We're always keeping our eyes open for clinic and practices to attend as we continue to have a great time competing and learning together.
After a minor tendon injury last season, Ben would still be off today had it not been for Lauren's expert help. HealthEquine Therapies is an instrumental part of our equine care plan. With Ben now back to full strength, we plan to attend multiple jackpots this season. Hopefully working towards bringing home another buckle together.
When I am not at the barn with our horses, I'm a certified fitter welder by trade. Waiting the work day to end so I can tack and rope with Ben."
JAYDE CROOME & FANCY
"Hi my name is Jayde Croome, I am 23 years old and I’m from Ancaster, Ontario. A little bit about me, I went to school for firefighting a few years ago at Georgian College in Barrie and then took a trades course at Conestoga in Cambridge just over a year ago. I have been working towards getting hired on as a full-time firefighter the past few years. I am currently a welder as I wanted to have a trade behind me. Outside of horses I love to wake surf off my boat and just enjoy nature.I have been riding since I was about 4 years old and I have done pretty much everything from jumpers, to cutting, sorting, barrel racing and pole bending. I currently am focused on pole bending and barrel racing, there’s nothing quite like it! I just bought a sassy little palomino Quarter horse named Fancy. She is 10 this year and I like to think of her as a horse version of myself. She's amazing and always tries her heart out every time we ride. I have only had her just under a year so we are still learning to get to know each other.
My goals for 2025 are to have clean consistent runs. Each time we run poles at the rodeos we cut time off, so I want to keep that up and to just have fun and enjoy it. This year we will be competing at the Ram rodeo circuit, as well as some NBHA and jackpots, in barrel racing and pole bending.
When I first got fancy I don’t think she had any bodywork done to her whether that was massages, BEMER or any sort of release treatments. She tends to be stiff and hold a lot of tension that came out in our runs. I’ve started getting her massages and she’s really opened up and is learning to release her tension. She’s still got a long way to go but there’s been a huge difference from everyday riding to competition. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us in this new sponsorship with HealthEquine Therapies. Thank you HealthEquine Therapies, I can’t wait to go into the 2025 season being apart of this team!"
Cheyanne BOSCH & ben
"My name is Cheyanne Bosch, I'm 15 years old and in the 9th grade. My big gray Quarter horse Ben is 19, and competes with me in the senior divison of the Ontario High School Rodeo Association. The events we love to compete in are goat tying and barrel racing. Ben and I have been competing together in club shows and other events since I was 4 years old. We've had a lot of fun together and plan to continue learning and having fun together.
This year my main goal is to keep working on my riding skills with my horses, as that will really help me in the competition pen during High School Rodeo events. In my free time when I'm not practicing, I enjoy archery, visual arts and roller blading with friends.
HealthEquine Therapies has aided my horse in competition pen and the lesson ring by increasing blood flow through out his body and loosening up his muscles. Lauren has helped Ben and I improve with every run we start. When his body feels good, then he can move faster and more freely and we have a great ride!"
