Roxbury Showjumping Inc. is a partnership between Shelley Dallyn and Rachel Coldham. Their success is due to their hard work and philosophy of fostering an environment where horse and rider have all the tools they need to improve as a team to meet and exceed their goals. Shelley and Rachel maintain a quality hunter, jumper and equitation horse show program and have brought numerous riders from their first lesson to consistent International competitive success in the show ring. They continue to offer lessons and show experiences at every level; from the beginner sand ring through to International competitions.
Roxbury Showjumping started operations in the spring of 2001, with the bringing together of two accomplished riders and trainers Shelley Dallyn and Rachel Coldham. During the initial stages of our horse and rider, training and teaching business, Roxbury ran out of multiple locations. The business expanded rapidly and it was quickly realized that a larger location was required where all the sale horses and clients could come together under one roof.
In the spring of 2002, we located a training/teaching facility south of Calgary that met all the necessary criteria. Spruce Meadows and Rocky Mountain Show Jumping (Anderson Ranch) are central to the Southern Alberta show jumping (hunters/jumpers/equitation) horse showing community also south of Calgary, so the location was ideal. The location boasted both indoor and outdoor riding arenas in good repair and ready to use for our training and teaching program with our clients and horses. We leased the Highwood Stables location for close to seven years. Throughout the seven years, Roxbury Showjumping continued to expand and Shelley and Rachel further diversified and reinforced their professional reputations.
At the end of the seven years at Highwood Stables, Roxbury had expanded to a level where change again had to happen, which urged moving to another location. That move was to operate out of Zeilder Farm, which was for a period of two years. It was a pleasure to be able to operate our of such a high-end facility as Zeidler Farm. However, at the end of the two years, it was apparent that we required the use of an entire facility.
Having experience and witnessed many different ways of running and maintaining various show barn programs, we are extremely excited with our recent move has been a beautiful location, just south of Calgary, at Wildwood Show Park. The facility meets and exceeds all the criteria we know to be vital to success. This is an exciting new chapter for everyone.
