Jodi Mallette
JM Quarter Horses, owned and operated by Jodi Mallette has been in business since 2004. JM Quarter Horses offers training, coaching, lessons and sales. Here's a bit about Jodi...

Jodi started out as a horse crazy kid in Windsor, Ontario.  Growing up her family wondered where this incredible passion for horses came from as they were all 'city folk'. At age 10 her parents finally gave in to the constant begging and allowed her to take riding lessons and that was it - she was hooked! Years of lessons and traveling to  shows in Hunter/Jumper, Eventing and Dressage gave her the solid foundation needed before her parents bought her that first horse. A friend of the family was a horse trainer and he guided her parents, helping them make that important purchase. Jodi is grateful to Ed Affleck for his assistance because that first horse led to Jodi finding her true love - the Quarter Horse. Following a career in retail sales and buying, Jodi had the opportunity to make her lifelong hobby into her new career and she began teaching and training for Lindsay Grice in 1997. The incredible experience she gained while under Lindsay's guidance led her to where she is today and she is forever grateful to Lindsay for the opportunity.

Jodi travels with her Quarter Horse show customers to all of the Area 3 shows, many of the Ontario shows and some shows in the US.

Jodi specializes in the all around horse and really enjoys the process of bringing riders along from the entry level, to novice showing at the Quarter Horse level and seeing the growth as they achieve personal best rides and win awards along the way.

Jodi’s students have realized some amazing success - from Congress top 10 placings to Year End High Point Awards for Area 3, Ontario and Teen Ranch circuits there were many success stories from the season.  Check out the season details on the gallery page.

Trail is a real passion for Jodi and she and her students successfully competed in many trail classes across the show circuits.  She has winter trail practices and a spring clinic with Nancy Cahill every year to keep skills sharp and ready for the upcoming shows!

Since 2001, Jodi has been actively involved  in the Area 3 Promotional Club (central Ontario Quarter Horse Association).  She served as a director for 3 years and President in 2004.  On top of many other tasks within the organization, she and her husband designed and maintain the Area 3 web site at www.area3.ca.

Area 3 shows are the backbone of Jodi’s business and she wants to ensure they continue to thrive and be successful. Sponsoring Area 3 helps the organization to put on 3 of the largest show circuits in the province at what she considers the nicest show grounds & facilities. She is proud to sponsor the club and knows that the money is given back to the exhibitors in the form of prizes, awards and fantastic shows & events!

Currently, JM Quarter Horses is primarily based out of  Reid Farm & Equestrian Centre in Orangeville, Ontario.  This facility has all the amenities a horse owner could ask for, and provides the absolute best in care for horses of any breed or discipline.
 
 
 
 
Allyson Nicol
Allyson began taking riding lessons with Lindsay Grice & Jodi Mallette in 2001.  She was fortunate enough to be able to begin competing on the AQHA circuit in 2004 riding a horse that her Aunt, Patricia Nicol had purchased for her to become competitive.

Allyson competed mostly in Ontario & Area 3, where she won many All Arounds, Hi Point and Reserve High Point awards in many different categories including Hunter Under Saddle, Equitation, Horsemanship, Western Pleasure, Trail, Western Riding, Showmanship and Halter.

In 2007 and 2008, Allyson attended the All American Quarter Horse Congress as a youth competitor and represented the Area 3 NYATT team in Horsemanship and Showmanship.  Both times she was a finalist in the Horsemanship, and that is an accomplishment she is very proud of.

In the future, Allyson plans to attend college, but for now she is pleased to be able to work with Jodi - teaching lessons and working with the training horses in the program.  Watch for Allyson showing some of the JMQH horses as well in the upcoming season!

Some words from Allyson:
I have trained under the guidance of Jodi for the last 6 years and I couldn't ask for a better coach. She has taught me everything I know and I would not be the rider I am today if it wasn't for all the hard work Jodi has done for me and I am so grateful for everything. Thank you!
 
 
 
Anne Craven
Anne grew up in Caledon on an apple farm. Her parents didn't have any interest in horses at all, so she's not sure where her passion came from!  Anne always loved animals, and as a Christmas gift one year asked for riding lessons.  Her farm was just around the corner from Kilmanagh Valley Farm - then home of Mark & Lindsay Grice.  Anne began riding lessons with the Grice's & Jodi in 1997 and she was hooked!

Since then Anne has had the opportunity to part board several show horses and compete at a few Open and AQHA shows. Her passion is the Trail class as she loves the detail involved in getting around the course correctly.

Currently Anne works as an animal care attendant at a veterinarian practice and part-time working with Jodi. She has worked for Jodi since the beginning of her business in 2004 and is an integral part of the program! She keeps the training horses groomed, clipped, manages all of their health care needs as well as longeing, tacking and helping at the horse shows.
