Becky Hellums Western Riding School

"Coach Becky is amazing. Our daughter has been riding with her for a year and a half and her confidence and abilities have skyrocketed under Becky’s training. It’s rare to find a trainer that teaches the rider/horse relationship first and coaches both as a team. She is firm but fair and goes out of her way to check on details like horse health and student mentality. We are so glad our riding friends recommended her so we’d like to pass that on. 10/10 would recommend."

"Becky is an awesome coach that goes above and beyond. We have seen so much improvement both in my daughter’s riding and in her horse’s performance since we have been training with her. She is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Becky is very knowledgeable and passionate and it shows in all aspects of her training, coaching, feedback, suggestions, etc. It is so wonderful seeing her students thrive both inside the arena and out. She not only teaches these kids to ride, but she also teaches them about confidence, hard work, compassion, and sportsmanship."

"Becky is a passionate coach and really knows her stuff! She works wonders with horses and riders of all ages. Becky goes above and beyond to keep her riders and horses safe at all times. She is always readily available to her students to answer questions regarding anything from nutrition, bits, supplements, soreness, vet checks, pre-purchase exams, etc. Becky is fantastic at finding the right sound horse for each rider and stands by your side throughout the whole purchasing process. I would highly recommend her services."

"Becky is a first-class equine educator. Not only does she teach you the fundamentals and correct techniques in all aspects of riding, she will teach you horsemanship. She cares about her students and keeps them safe. She also cares deeply for the horses. She protects them both through her knowledge and her experience as a trainer. The Richmond location has a relaxed atmosphere and a nice arena for lessons."

"Becky has taught my 12 year old daughter since March 2016. Prior to riding western my daughter took one year of dressage to truly understand the basics of riding. Since then, with Becky;s recommendation, we purchased her a barrel horse. I can honestly say Becky is extremely friendly and the most knowledgeable horse expert that I’ve ever meet. My daughters confidence and western riding skills have improved so much. Becky looks at our kids as her own and coaches them daily. If we ever have any questions, need advice or just need a pep-talk, she's been there for us 24/7!"
