Her Life is Exclusively Equine
Born and raised in the Toronto area, Nicole Kybartas, is sure about one thing....where ever her life takes her, she wants to be working in the horse business.
Nicole began riding when she was 5-years-old and ventured onto the racetrack sometime during her highschool years. Starting out as a hotwalker and a groom, she eventually proved her riding abilities and began freelance riding for various trainers at Woodbine.
With one more year left to complete her veterinary technician diploma at Seneca College, Nicole is gaining valuable knowledge working as an assistant for Dr. Brian Van Arem as well as trying to complete a Marketing Degree at York University.
Nicole says she would like to use her Marketing Degree in the horse field, in the bloodstock area of the business, as well as helping to promote her own new
business of training and selling
ex-thoroughbred racehorses.
Nicole began Exclusively Equine Training and Sales in 2003 which specializes in training ex-racehorses for second careers as eventers, roping horses, companion horses or for riding schools.
Nicole travels to the thoroughbred owners farms where she retrains the horses and finds buyers for them, a business which she has always wanted to get into.
“I have experience from both sides,” says Nicole about her successes, “I know the show business as well as the racing business.”
In case Nicole wasn’t already busy enough, she continues to ride and compete in eventing with the horse trails association.
“I try to take any horse.” says Nicole when asked which hors- es are suitable for her business. Primarily people are interested in big sound horses, however I’ll take any horse with potential.”

New Path for Jacque
Jacque Dumas had been training horses for the past 40 years and now he is trying his hand at another career, that of a jockey’s agent.
Jacque had been working for trainer Nick Detoro at Woodbine as his assistant since 2000 until the summer of last year when he became ill and his doctor told him that he couldn’t return to his physically demanding job at the racetrack.
Leaving the racetrack was not an option for Jacque, who arrived at Woodbine from Montreal in the early 1970’s, so now he is combing the barns of the back- stretch working the book of jockey Jillian Scharfstein.
“Her goal this year is to win more than 20 races.” said Jacque with his friendly smile, “She’s working hard and wants to do well.”
