About Hillman Horsemanship
Here's my story. I grew up on a farm in Western New York where snow was found in abundance! From the time I could walk and talk horses were always on my mind. Since we didn't have horses, I improvised and rode the cows whenever possible. Finally, after years of begging, my parents said I could acquire a horse, but there was a catch, I had to buy it myself. Long story short, I worked & worked and saved it all. I became a horse owner at the age of 12. My horse, Romeo, was of course the most awesome horse ever, he taught me what it was like to have a best friend. Naturally, we were inseparable. We worked with the top trainers in our area and went on to showing, winning many classes, in both Western and English. Since Romeo, I have had the privilege to own, show, & train many horses, manage several horse barns and especially love sharing my knowledge of horses with my students.

Horse Lessons
Lessons start by retrieving your horse. They may be in their stall or we may have to fetch them in the pasture, which is great because you will acquire the skills needed to catch a horse when it is free. We then brush, clean hoofs, and tack up. There is an outdoor arena where we practice ground work and have fun with obstacles, then on to riding. If the weather is not cooperating we work in the indoor arena. We have lessons rain or shine, hot or cold. We end the lesson with untacking, brush down, check hooves and returning horse to a stall or the pasture.
