Head trainer and owner Hilary LoBue has been riding and showing horses since she was 6 years old in Illinois. Hilary started her career in the hunter jumper discipline and competed in the very prestigious "A" circuit in Illinois winning top honors at many shows including Lamplight Equestrian Center. Life brought her to Colorado where she continued to learn from top trainers and Grand Prix riders focusing on jumpers. While living in Colorado Hilary continued to show and win multiple championships in the jumper rings. Hilary opened her boarding facility Meadowlark Stables Inc. where she cared for 20 horses on a daily basis for her clients. This experience was a valuable lesson in all around horse care. She gained experience in dealing with illness, lameness, nutrition and overall horse health. Meadowlark Stables was 30 minutes from CSU one of the leading Veterinary Schools in the country. Hilary developed close relationships with veterinarians and took the opportunity to learn as much as she could about horses as a whole. This experience has really been crucial in training horses and knowing when to ask more of a horse and when to back off. "Horses are individuals and getting to know each horse and their learning style is fundamental to successful training" While in Colorado Hilary took interest in western riding and showed several of her AQHA horses in local western pleasure events. Trail riding in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado quickly became a favorite past time. Learning overall horsemanship and riding all around trained horses became her passion. "Riding a horse in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado is not very forgiving, you must have a well trained horse to navigate steep inclines and rocky slopes. A mistake out there has serious consequences" Since relocating to Texas Hilary has learned all around trained horses are invaluable. With this knowledge Hilary started Hummingbird Hill Horse Training which focuses on all around sane, safe and reliable horses whether you show jumpers, run barrels or trail ride and everything in between. Her experience has taught her successful horses in any discipline need to dabble in everything. It is good for their mind and overall health. Hilary continues to show in hunter/jumper and western events proving that a horse can be happy in both disciplines and actually thrives with change and challenges. Hilary trains horses at Windy Hill Ranch which is a beautiful facility that offers rolling terrain and open spaces with safe sandy loam footing. Horses are ridden in the arena and around the fields with man made and natural obstacles to challenge their minds. The lush green rolling hills provides horses with a laid back relaxing learning environment to excel during their training. "I like to keep my horses guessing on what we will do today, a bored horse is not a happy horse. I prefer happy horses."
