What I like:
This was my second home. The owner and the people who stabled at Hilltop were always so friendly and accommodating. The management was always there to lend a helping hand with whatever I needed. The best part was that I didn't have to ask. I can't say enough about Hilltop - they are the BEST!

What needs improvement:
Like any good stable, Hilltop Farm is always improving to make life easier for the people and the horses.

What I like:
"Hill Top Farm" provides an educational, safe, and charasmatic environment.
The trainers are knowledable, passionate leaders.

There are many opportunities for training and competing in different modalities.
They trailer to shows almost weekly.

There are many activities provided! From equestrian activities to bon fire evenings roasting marshmellows and hotdogs. Dinners on the town and monthly outings.

Hill Top Farm is more like a second home. We are welcomed and feel a part of the family. Each of us feel that our involvement and progress is of importance.

The horses are happy and relaxed. The trainers provide a keen sense of understanding, knowledge, and implement action according to the individual needs of each horse.

What needs improvement:
Everything is a work in progress. Myself included!

What I like:
Fun, friendly atmosphere for children and adults! The stable is constantly improving, with an expanded ring, newlights, and cross-country jumps. The management is professional, lives on site, and really takes the time to get to know each horse individually. The instructors are knowledgable and welcoming to all skill levels.

What needs improvement:
Like most stables, it is a work in progress - but progress IS being made to improve the facility.
