Jeannie Wetheral
Originally from Montreal, Jeannie has now been living in Toronto for the past 15 years. She started riding with the Lake of Two Mountains Pony Club back in the 70’s and currently owns an ex-jumper that I hope to do dressage with, although lately hacking on the Bruce Trail is more my speed!
She currently owns and is loved by a horse, a dog and an overweight cat aptly named Monkey.
After having worked in a variety of industries, Jeannie thought it was time to combine my love of animals with her career and is very excited about working with everyone at MPES.
