Belinda La Belle has always been passionate about horses. She fell in love with the sport at a young age and has been involved in the equine industry for over 15 years. Throughout her career, she has worn many hats, including that of coach, facility owner, trainer, and past president of the Central East Trillium Hunter Jumper Association and banquet Chair. 

Belinda's journey began in her hometown, where she competed in local shows and events. She eventually became a registered instructor while attending college. Her love for horses and teaching led her to start Belle Wood Equestrian in Pickering, Ontario, along with her family in 2008.

Belinda has achieved her Competition Coach registration as a coach and continues to grow and develop in the industry. She works with Beth Murray and Grace Wanyura to enhance her skills and abilities under saddle. Belinda also hosts clinics with her coaches, allowing her students to learn and grow alongside her.

Over the years, Belle Wood has been home to many boarded horses and lesson horses alike. Belinda has taken the show team to different states, including Florida and Ohio, and various shows such as the Silver Series, Trillium Circuit, and 'A' Rated Shows. She believes in enjoying the sport, learning at new venues, and creating new memories and experiences for her riders.

Recently, Belinda and her husband Patrick have been focusing on the riding school, show team, and the Grass Roots Show Series, while their three golden retrievers, Daisy, Duchess, and Duke, follow closely behind. Belinda's dedication to the equine industry and her students is unwavering, and she will continue to pass on her knowledge and love for horses for years to come.
