For a second year, Jasmyne is joining #TeamEquitavi. With her three horses—Jiji, Très Jolie, and Carlton—she stands out for her rigor, determination, and, above all, her horsemanship. She currently competes in Grand Prix classes up to 1.45m, as well as in classes for young horses. Jasmyne has discovered a true passion for horse development, and we are proud to be able to support her on this journey.
Camille Harnois
Camille Harnois is the owner of Harnois Stables. This exceptionally talented young rider distinguished herself in 2024 by winning the Canadian Championship title in the 1.30m division. Her hard work, determination, and passion make her a high-level athlete who perfectly embodies Équitavi's values.
Alongside her mare, she forms a close and impressive duo. We look forward to following their performances and their development throughout the season.

We are proud and honored to be part of this beautiful adventure and to accompany her on her journey! 🩷

Maelie is hardworking, diligent, and determined, which will undoubtedly take her far in this sport!
Sarah Thomassin
Sarah is an excellent rider in the equitation and show jumping ring. She competed at the 2023 Royal Winter Fair in the prestigious class, CET. With her new mount, Uma, we are sure they will reach new heights! We wish her many red ribbons (in Canada) and blue ribbons (in Florida) and most importantly, lots of fun jumping bigger classes in the future!

Sarah is a person with countless qualities including her empathy and kindness. Her passion for horse riding and her commitment to the well-being of horses really resonate with us and make her an exceptional rider!
