Horseback Riding in Concord, California (Contra Costa County)

In the picturesque countryside just south of Sacramento, California, at the end of a long driveway lined by overhanging trees you will find Hickerson Arabians. Sitting on 8.5 acres of beautiful land, you will arrive and first see both young and retired horses in pasture where they spend their time playing and enjoying the breeze and shade. The show barn and indoor arena sit at the back of the property where the show horses have a view of the pond from their spacious 12×12 stalls. With Todd’s home situated in the center of the property, the horses have the 24/7 care and attention they deserve.

Todd Hickerson began his journey with Arabians when he was just five years old. He had a Purebred Arabian, Trinity Dawn, that he rode Endurance with. When he was just eight, they completed their first 50 mile ride and came in 2nd out of 80 riders. At twelve, they rode in the Tevis Cup. The Tevis Cup was started in 1955, it is the oldest modern day endurance ride that has been the inspiration and model for the most challenging endurance rides worldwide. Each rider who completes the 100 mile course from Tahoe to Auburn within the 24 hour limit and whose mount is judged fit to continue is awarded the coveted silver Completion Award Buckle. The Tevis Cup trophy is awarded to the person who completes the 100-Mile One-Day course in the shortest amount of time and whose horse is in sound condition and fit to continue. Todd was the youngest to complete the Tevis Cup, until just a few years ago!

Todd is a nationally recognized and respected Arabian and Half-Arabian horse trainer who has trained, shown, bred, bought, sold and marketed hundreds of Arabian and Half-Arabian horses. He has produced U.S. and Canadian National Champions, Reserve Champions and Top Tens. His knowledge, talent, integrity and work ethic are all reasons that he is highly respected in the horse community.

Building, Safe Positive and Progressive Horse-Human Relatonships through Natural Training and Teaching Techniques.

I have always loved horses with a passion and have been riding, training and showing horses for over 30 years and I continue to this day to be in awe of their majesty, beauty, grace and forgiveness of the human race.

I truly believe that you have to look at the horse – human relationship as a whole picture to find out what is and is not working and once behavior patterns in the horse – human relationship - whether physical or emotional are identified I can then establish a plan to change these behaviors and develop a positive, healthy and fulfilling relationship for both horse and human.

My goal is to not only teach the horse, but to teach the horses’ owner to teach their own horse, developing a relationship of trust and mutual respect which will build partners for life.

Horses’ eyes are windows to their souls, if you can catch a horses’ eye you can glimpse inside the soul and feel their emotions.... See More
