Hilltop Farm Riding and Horsemanship Lessons-

Here at Hilltop Farm we offer a very unique program for students and fellow horse lovers. Not only do we offer the traditional English and western riding lessons but also our one of a kind beginner program recommended for timid and young riders as well as our beginner hunter jumper class for people who want to learn the basics of horse jumping without being in the competitive environment. We also offer a class special to Hilltop Farm, our Horsemanship on the Flat class. During this class students are able to learn how to read and communicate with their horses on a whole new level as well as learning about training different types of horses. In this class I share my training techniques that have been developed over the years by some of the top trainers around.
