Horseback Riding in Spartanburg, South Carolina (Spartanburg County)

Hat Trick Ranch is a 30 acre barrel racing facility located right outside of Travelers Rest, South Carolina. We are excited to be teaming up with professional barrel racer Madeleine Green to bring barrel racing lessons, training, and tune-ups to the surrounding areas.

Madeleine Green is the daughter of prominent barrel horse trainer Mike Green. She was raised on one of the most successful horse ranches in the country, and she has been competing on barrel horses since the age of three. You could say Madeleine was born and bred for a career in horses. She has a special passion for the sport of barrel racing and has learned the ins and outs from watching some of the best in the world. With the thrill of competition running deep in her veins, Madeleine has risen to the top in about everything she has set her mind to do.

 Her youth career consisted of 4 NBHA state championships, the fastest time award at the National Barrel Horse Association youth and teen world championships, and two reserved titles, along with a championship in the World Barrel Racing Association event. In recent years, Madeleine has had continued success running the fastest time at her first International Finals Rodeo and left Oklahoma City as the IFR44 barrel racing champion. She has also tried her hand at futurities and derbies. She was reserved at the Diamonds and Dirt Futurity and reserved at the Old Fort Days Derby.

Elhanan Equestrian is an English Riding Stable breeding quality Connemara Ponies, Fine German Riding Ponies, and Sport Horses breeding for the Olympic disciplines, and specializing in Eventing, Dressage, Hunter/Jumper, and Pony Club disciplines with an emphasis on correct classical training of horse & rider. Teaching balanced horsemanship and centered riding theory to all ages and abilities, we seek to develop the healthy body, mind, and spirit of horse and rider, to instill the confidence and ability to achieve their goals, and to bring people together to celebrate and enjoy horses. For the serious rider looking to improve their performance in the show ring, the goal oriented competitor, or the beginner just starting out, communication is a huge part of our training philosophy. Each rider- no matter their skill level- can understand how the horse thinks and how to better communicate with their equine partner with simple horsemanship tools and techniques, We strive for riders to achieve a true partnership with their horse both on the ground and while riding.

Jill Timmons has been training, teaching and coaching professionally for over 25 years. Jill developed and operated a sizable business in the Equine industry in which she taught riding lessons for adults and children with an emphasis on safety and a balanced seat. Overseeing multiple instructors, she organized and taught a program of nearly 150 students. Jill has successfully coached students in the Hunter-Jumper discipline into High Point and year-end championships in Hunter and Equitation divisions. From rank beginners to advanced adults and children, Jill takes riders from Walk/Trot to Equitation Medal Champions. Jill has organized clinics, competitive events, and summer camps. Most importantly, Jill helps mold students to be responsible, respectful, confident, compassionate and competitive, growing their passion for horses.

Starting youngsters, brushing up the trained horse, or bringing a horse to the next level, Jenny maintains the classical dressage methodology in all aspects of horse training and care. Youngsters are brought along slowly, with an emphasis on clear communication and mutual trust. Horses receive a well-rounded education through cross training and relaxing hacks out of the arena setting. This keeps the horses fresh and happy in their work. Each horse receives a program tailored to fit the individual needs of the equine athlete.

We believe competitions provide a goal to work toward. Whether your focus is on riding in your first show, aspiring to compete at a rated show, or to some day ride at the Advanced levels of Eventing or Dressage, we know equine competition is one of the rare and unique sports that is not just about winning, but about the process. Showing is a vehicle for building self-esteem and learning valuable life lessons for young and old. No matter what your preferred style of riding, there is a horse show for you and a great time to be had!

"I feel that bringing confidence and understanding to my students helps them produce the desired result, all in a fun atmosphere!" - JILL TIMMONS
