Abby Hill
Abby Hill grew up riding miles of Golden Gate open space where a respectful and trusting relationship with horses was ever necessary. Her main passion is for jumping, dressage, trail riding, colt starting, restarting troubled horses and more. "Horses do their job the best that they can. To understand and have confidence in what is being asked of them, they need to be well respected by the person doing the asking. Then they can be relaxed in their performance and give the most." Abby has had the great opportunity to learn from some fantastic people including Terry Chuch, Siri Larssen, Trudy Exton, Ray Hunt, Joe Wolters and Bryan Neubert.

Abby emphasizes that it is not just about the goals we try to attain, but about the path that leads us there. This allows students to feel free to experiment, discover, and enjoy all aspects of learning without fear of judgment or failure. It also encourages students to develop skills with the confidence to problem-solve.

Abby's primary concerns are for the physical and mental well-being of the horse. Whether training a horse for the hunter/jumper ring, or for pleasure, she aims for supple, willing, and happy horses.
