Horses in Harmony
Lifelong horsewoman, Rachel Hilton has an eclectic mix of experience to draw from when it comes to training and teaching. She spent the first decade of her career riding reining horses and starting colts with Tom Pierson, who coached Rachel to many victories in the NRHA arena, and over $60,000 won. The second decade of Rachel's career was spent at Mardanza Farms in Micanopy, FL operating Keystone Training. Rachel worked with Frank Barnett to start young warmbloods destined for the jumping and dressage rings, and Frank taught her classical dressage that she put to practice on a wide range of horses.
​
Rachel is proud owner of Jagalicious, a three-time WDAA (western dressage) world champion and USEF Horse of the Year. Jagalicious also helped Rachel earn her USDF Silver Medal, and was the horse that Rachel competed in the reining freestyle at the World Equestrian Center, combining both dressage and reining movements, which showcased the mare's athletic adjustability. Rachel firmly believes in cross discipline training, and has a diverse skillset to draw upon. Rachel also owns Kitty Hawk, a Dutch Warmblood mare that she is currently developing and competing in dressage and working equitation. She is available under the right circumstances. Rachel has done all of the training on Kitty and is intimately invested in her wellbeing. She has a solid foundation and her development has been a quality, disciplined and consistent approach. She would be perfect for a confident rider looking for a step up. Her elegant way of going and presence will get you noticed in the arena, no question!
