WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR WEBSITE

Hilltop Farm Equestrian Training Centre is the home of Ron and Sandy Paterson.

Located in the picturesque Dayboro Valley, 45kms north-west of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia; Hilltop Farm Equestrian Training Centre focuses on quality training and coaching in equestrian sports. Dealing primarily with the performance sports of  Dressage,  Eventing and Show Jumping, this centre prides itself on always functioning with the utmost quality and on true and correct training methods, to enhance every horse’s and rider’s development, helping them to reach their full potential.

Ron and Sandy Paterson have been involved with performance horses for almost 50 years. The depth and extent of their knowledge is always evident in the care, presentation and performance of the horses they work with.

Ron Paterson’s expertise is immense. His credentials include FEI  International Eventing Judge; NCAS Level 3 Coach – General; NJAS Level A Judge; Coach Educator;  Judge Educator; Judge Mentor;  EA Young Horse Judge  and along with this, he is still a competitor.    (for more information  go to Ron Paterson page)

Sandy Paterson competed successfully when younger, but now concentrates on organising the care and handling of the horses based at Hilltop Farm. The stable management is exemplary and the centre prides itself on every horse in its care being happy and healthy, ready to perform at its best. This was ratified when a visiting vet commented; “I have never been to a place like this where every horse is so happy”.

An integral part of the daily hard work at the centre is our ‘working pupil’. It is with great pride that the centre thanks and congratulates Liz Hunt (see Testimonials) and Harvey Besley on their efforts and achievements and the wonderful Rebekka Craig who is with us still.
