MEET THE 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Julie Leger

President / Competitions Committee Chair

Julie has been involved with DNB as a competitor and volunteer for many years. She wanted to get more involved, so she joined the board in 2019. She has been competing at DNB shows for many years and hopes to continue to attend with her horse Davinci.

Allison Stewart

Vice President

Allison has recently returned to the board after some time away from horse shows. Allison has been involved with horses for over 40 years competing in several disciplines (both English and western). She looks forward to having an active role in the continued growth of DNB. Fitelberg (Jerzy) made his debut in 2024 and they are looking forward to future competitions.

Leanne LeBlanc

Secretary / Sponsorship Committee Co-Chair / Special Events Committee Co-Chair

Leanne is a new board member after being a competitor at DNB since 2021. Leanne always loved to help around the showgrounds, even before she started competing. She started her showing years with her horse Friend, but in the last year, she decided to conquer the upper levels with her coach's horse, Celtic.

Janelle Sullivan

Treasurer

Janelle recently joined the board to become more involved with the equestrian community. After taking time off while her horse recovered from surgery, she is excited to hopefully return to the show ring.

Lesley Ahman

Membership

Lesley has been involved with horses most of her life. An EC-certified coach for 25 years, she is dedicated to guiding others in their equestrian endeavors. A familiar sight in the DNB show ring, Lesley and her current horse Kamil Jahuar (Missy) have successfully competed at training through to FEI levels. Although recently retired from competition, this pair continues to explore their passion for the sport from the comfort of home.

Erica Collette

Communications Director / Sponsorship Committee Co-Chair / Special Events Committee Co-Chair

Erica is a new member to the board. She returned to competitions last year with her new horse, Piper, after taking a break from competitive riding. She loves the atmosphere of the show grounds and is excited to be a part of the DNB board. Her goal this year is to make great memories and gain experience with Piper.

Jodi Milligan

Director at Large

Jodi's passion for horses started at a young age when she would spend hours trail riding with friends, eventually working and riding with many different breeds and disciplines. From Thoroughbred and QH racehorses to barrel racing, jumping and some dressage. After a long hiatus from both horses and the show ring, she made the decision to return to the horses and the sport she loves. Over the last couple years, Jodi has enjoyed riding and learning more about dressage and decided to join the DNB board of directors in late 2024 to be more involved.

Elaine Sode

Director at Large

I’m Elaine and this is my new partner Raven. She is a 10 year old Canadian mare and I hope to do Working Equitation with her. Dressage is a component of WE so these shows are a perfect addition. I started my horse life with a Canadian mare over 50 years ago. Since then I have done Dressage, Drill and lots of trail riding with my QH. I am always up to try new things with my equine friends.
