Building Strong Foundations

The Hillcrest Riding Academy is designed to provide quality lessons for riders of all ages and experience levels. Our program emphasizes the importance of proper equitation and effective communication between horse and rider, fostering skills that build confidence both in and out of the saddle.

The Hillcrest Difference

Our Academy is structured to prioritize each rider’s growth and long-term development. Unlike programs that take a one-size-fits-all approach, Hillcrest tailors instruction to your individual strengths and goals. We strive to support every rider in making meaningful progress at their own pace, while building confidence and independence in the saddle.

Opportunities to Compete

Hillcrest riders have the opportunity to compete with head trainer, Julie Cleveland Beam, at the top A-Circuit shows at venues across the country, including Great Southwest Equestrian Center, WEF, and Kentucky Horse Park. 

For middle and high school students, our IEA team offers a unique chance to experience competition without needing to own a horse, focusing on equitation and teamwork.
