Alison has many years experience with horses in varying aspects
of the field. As a child she learned to ride hunters and developed
a love for the sport and the animal. She then went on to get her
BS in Equine Facility Management from Lake Erie College in ’99.
She worked for top professionals gaining valuable experience, most
notably managing Bloomfield Open Hunt Club in Bloomfield Hills MI.
Ready to manage her own farm, she teamed up with college friend
Mary Von Werne to open Cedar Hill Farms. Alison is excited to be
developing and building a new facility, and creating a business
in this new and growing area of North Carolina.
Mary has been riding hunters, jumpers, and dressage for many years
and brings her extensive knowledge as the trainer of Cedar Hill
Farms. She trains horses for show and sale, and teaches riding lessons
to all levels of students. Mary has been riding and showing hunters,
jumpers, and dressage at rated shows since she was a child. She
attended Lake Erie College where she received a BS in Equestrian
Teacher Trainer.
At Lake Erie she gained valuable knowledge in training
young horses, teaching riding and also got the opportunity to continue
showing. After college, Mary was the head Hunter Jumper trainer
at Stony Hill Stables in Amagansett, New York. She took her students
from showing locally to winning ribbons at major A rated shows.
Mary also continued her education in dressage while working at Stony
Hill.
Elizabeth Hotchkiss, FEI rider and owner of the barn, fine
tuned her riding and gave her the opportunity to learn the upper
level movements, and to show some of her dressage horses.
