About Sabrina
I began riding at age eight and owned several horses and leased one before partnering with Zinté F in 2008. Those early years shaped my understanding of training, responsibility, and long-term development.
I taught as a riding instructor for over a decade, starting in my early twenties, coaching students through day camps, weekly lessons, and taking students to schooling shows while continuing my own training.
In 2008, Zinté F came into my life. That same year, I discovered yoga as a way to improve my position and body awareness in the saddle. What started as physical support became essential for managing pressure, building strength, and staying grounded.
I became a certified yoga teacher in 2014, integrating yoga into my work as a rider and coach. In 2015, Zinté and I reached FEI Prix St. Georges, and today we have competed at the Grand Prix.
I launched Yoga for Riders in 2019 and brought it online in 2021 to support equestrians seeking balance alongside performance.
I continue to deepen my education because I believe learning is essential to good teaching. I am currently pursuing my advanced yoga training with the long-term goal of becoming a yoga therapist.
Yoga continues to shape how I train, recover, and lead, on and off the horse.

Meet Zinté F
Zinté F is a 2004 KWPN gelding by Tenerife x Indoctro, born in Holland and imported to Canada in 2007 after going through the KWPN inspection under the VDL stud.
From the beginning, Zinté was a fiery and spirited young horse but his incredible work ethic and willingness to please have made him a joy to train. His desire to learn and his kind, loving nature have shaped his personality. He thrives on human connection and loves being around people, always eager to engage and be part of the action.
Zinté has been my inspiration to do what I do. He’s not only the first horse I’ve trained up to the Grand Prix level, but he’s also the reason I believe in my dreams.
His athleticism, spirit and work ethic have pushed me to become a stronger, more confident rider. Zinté truly is the heart of everything I do. His journey and our partnership are a constant reminder that with trust, dedication and a little bit of fire, anything is possible.
