Hilary Watson
Head Trainer, Trinity Forest Stables
Hilary is an experienced horsewoman with a passion for teaching and training the next generation. In her career she has taught many students from 1st time riders to competitive hunters & jumpers, with a strong emphasis on safety and partnership with their horse. She combines a background of traditional dressage training with good horsemanship to really develop a trust between horse and rider whether in the saddle or on the ground.
​
Her breadth of experience ranges from working with high-quality show programs to managing young horses at breeding farms. She has ridden OTTB's, warmbloods and everything in between. All of this has contributed to her belief in the need for a strong foundation of basics and the importance of patience while working with horses.​​
​
She has had successes in the show ring as well; coaching her students and competing on young hunters and jumpers. Guiding them through these show ring environments, Hilary's patient consistency leaves riders with confidence and a positive experience, and sometimes a few ribbons as well!
