Horseback Riding in Frisco, Texas (Denton County)

I offer riding lessons, training, summer camps, and mobile horse care such as exercising, training, lessons, grooming, batheing, etc.

I am well versed in several disciplines, as well as equine management. With an extensive background in the hunter/jumper circuit, certified veterinary technician, experience in everything from show jumping to reining, and a current education in dressage, I am able to offer a broad spectrum of knowledge.

My training system is strongly grounded in the principles of the German Training Scale. Starting with rhythm, relaxation, connection, straightness, impulsion, and collection - the purpose being to develop to the fullest the horse's mental and physical aptitude, and willingness to perform.

I follow the Conrad Schumacher methodology of training: "Enhancing the rider's physical and mental awareness to create maximum harmony with the horse is the cornerstone of the training philosophy. The focus on mental fitness and rider awareness are developed through the basic foundation of the scales of training, the prerequisites for optimum performance, and the selection of working patterns to achieve correct execution of movements throughout the levels."

Please contact me for more information on training for your horse, lessons for yourself, or for help selling or buying a horse. I would love to speak with you. Email me directly at or feel free to call me at . I may not receive your inquiry through this site.... See More

Hogany Tops Farm has been on sabbatical for some time due to health and extensive surgery. I am so blessed to be healthy and able to relocate and open our doors again! We welcome everyone of all ages and levels to our program!

Hogany Tops has openings in our lesson and training programs and we would love to help you excel in your riding, whether it is for competition or pleasure, or to help you with your green horse/pony or your made up horse/pony continuing to improve! We teach and train at our facility or we can come to yours.

Hogany Tops Farm is a hunter jumper training and lesson barn located just outside of Dallas, TX, in beautiful Edgewood, TX,
dedicated to establishing superior horsemanship with physically fit, willing and content, well trained horses and riders. Accordingly, a consistent training routine and at least a minimum lesson program are pertinent to accomplish this goal. Training and instruction, specializing in hunters, jumpers and equitation are designed with the horse and rider in mind and customized to fit each one’s individual abilities and objectives to reach their full potential. We focus on correct equitation in the jumpers as well as the hunters. All good riding is based on dressage as a foundation. Hours spent on the flat ultimately produce a fluid ride over fences in the hunters and an accurate and powerful ride occurring in a timely fashion in the jumpers.
All levels of riders, beginner through advanced are welcome in our lesson program and we have wonderful lesson horses for those who do not have one! HTF provides the opportunity to horse show at both local and national competitions. Hogany Tops Farm offers quality horses and ponies for sale or lease.
Hogany Tops Farm originated in 1985 in Macon, Georgia. The business is owned and operated by Jo Beard, who was born, raised and educated in Virginia. Her love for and association with horses began at an early age, in the family barn, which at the age of eight led her to horse shows and fox hunts with her father. Her journey with horses continued to the professional level when at the age of 18 she was schooling, training, and showing horses and ponies and catch-riding at horse shows. Her professional focus centered on hunters and jumpers and as she developed her own riding skills, she became involved in the sport of steeplechase racing and took that to a highly successful professional level as one of two licensed female steeplechase jockeys in the United States. She has subsequently trained and owned hundreds of show horses and has consistently been successfully involved in both local and national horse show competition. Today, her focus is on the interest of her clients and their goals and aspirations. She has the experience (over 40 years of teaching all levels), and the skills and patience to take them where they want to go. Both Jo’s children and grandchildren are also very successful and well-known in the hunter jumper world! Jo’s extensive experience in the industry has created a wide network of friends and professional associates nationwide. Referrals will be gladly given upon request.
Visitors are always welcome! Please feel free to call for information, rates and available packages and visit/like our Facebook page at Hogany Tops Farm and to catch up with our activities!!
