ABOUT

Rachel Hilton is a lifelong horsewoman dedicated to the best horse practices that she has gathered over the decades. She spent the first ten years of her career riding reining horses and starting colts with Tom Pierson, who coached Rachel to many victories in the NRHA reining arena. Rachel took a year off of her practice in 2019 to work for Frank Barnett in Williston, FL. There, she learned another perspective on starting young horses and gained classical dressage experience on a wide range of horses. Her most recent achievements have been with her AQHA mare, Jagalicious, a 2x AQHA Stakes World Champion, 3x WDAA World Champion, and USDF Silver Medal recipient. Rachel’s skill set is robust and is not confined to a single discipline. She is passionate about working with horses and their riders to develop and enhance a deeper level of communication.

“Rachel Ory is a multi-talented rider and trainer who is committed to the horse as well as the student. What I love the most about Rachel is that she is a lifelong learner, always striving to gain more knowledge about training the horse. I purchased my 10-year-old AQHA, Mr Coldspring Nic, from Rachel three years ago. I never dreamed I would be showing in regional USDF shows and two AQHA World Shows. This year we have embraced western dressage in addition to classical dressage. Rachel trained Nic to be a well-rounded solid citizen. Thanks, Rachel for bringing Nic into my life.”
