Welcome to VQ Equestrian
We are a show, lesson and boarding facility located in Puslinch Ontario. We pride ourselves on being more than a barn, but a family.
At VQ Equestrian, everyone is a priority. Whether you have goals of showing, getting back in the saddle, or developing your technique, VQ Equestrian’s custom lesson and training programs will help you get there.

Owner
Joe Kozovski
When plans of opening VQ Equestrian were only in the early planning stages, Joey was on board and quick to support all aspects
of the business. His background and expertise in construction has been invaluable to VQ Equestrian’s growth and success. In addition to working as VQ Equestrian’s full time carpenter/handyman, Joey also works as a foreman for a construction company. Being an animal lover his whole life, Joey’s passion for the horses is hard to ignore. He is continuously making upgrades to the barn and property ensuring both horses and riders have the best environment and facilities. When he’s not working on the property, or his full time job, Joey can be found ring side offering words of encouragement and continuously supporting the dream.
