Staff

Friendly, Professional, & Knowledgeable!

DreamCatcher Farm is owned and run by Carol Bisaillon and her husband Daryl Martin. Carol started riding when she was only eight years old. By the age of 16, she had begun instructing younger students and found a passion for helping and coaching riders. After graduating from Queen’s University with a Bachelors of Arts (Honours) degree in Sociology and Organizational Behaviour, she moved into the small business world, working as a manager for three busy veterinary clinics. From her work, she gained valuable advanced equine care knowledge and experience in running a successful small business. In 2000, she decided to pursue her dream of opening an equestrian centre which would offer programs for competitive and recreational riders as well as off horse enrichment programs.

While building the facility from the ground-up, Carol obtained her Competition Coach Specialist designation through Equine Canada and is currently working towards her High Performance coaching status. Carol also has two certifications for Equine Assisted Learning and is a certified Life and Wellness Coach with Coach Canada. Through these certifications, she has expanded the business offerings at the facility and online with enrichment and wellness programs.
