About Darcy Henkel
Darcy’s lifelong dedication to horsemanship began on Alberta mountain trails and evolved into an extraordinary 27-year career with the Vancouver Police Department. As a Mounted Unit officer—and later the trainer for both horses and riders—she worked in high-pressure urban environments, parades, demonstrations, and major public events.
Since retiring, Darcy has devoted herself to coaching riders from all disciplines (English & Western) to build confident, willing, well-prepared horses. Her approach blends classical equitation, clear communication, and a deep respect for the welfare of the horse.
What You’ll Learn
Darcy introduces riders to the dynamic sport of Working Equitation, covering:
• Working Dressage – precision, balance, and communication
• Ease of Handling – confident, thoughtful navigation through obstacles
• Speed Phase – ride with accuracy, rhythm, and partnership
The focus is always on developing a brave, relaxed, and responsive horse while encouraging thoughtful, correct horsemanship.
