Rebecca began riding when she was 11 years old in Salt Lake City, Utah. On her first pony, Blue Moon, Rebecca qualified to compete in the 1998 National Pony Hunter Championships in Wayne, Illinois. That was her first taste of national level competition.

Definitely bitten by the competition bug, just a few years later, at the age of 15, Rebecca moved away from home to live in Scottsdale, AZ, in order to further her riding career. Finishing high school in Scottsdale, Rebecca was a working student and rode with Betty Beran of Smoke Tree Ranch. During her junior years with Beran, Rebecca garnered multiple championships in the hunter, jumper and equitation arenas both catch riding and on her own horses.

After her junior career, Rebecca attended Arizona State University earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business.

In 2005 Rebecca made the move into the Grand Prix ring with her gray mare, Corona. Together they earned a team silver medal at the 2005 North American Young Riders Championships. In this first year of Grand Prix Competition, Rebecca was also named PCHA Runner-up Rookie of the Year (Pacific Coast Horse Show Association).*

In 2006 Rebecca earned the alternate spot to represent the United States in the 2006 World Cup Finals that were held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Rebecca and the horses of Blue Hill Farm made their move from the West Coast to the East Coast at the end of 2007.  After competing on the East Coast, Rebecca decided to make the east coast the permanent home of Blue Hill Farm. 

In 2008 Rebecca reached one of her riding goals by representing the United States in her first Nations Cup appearance in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Team USA lead the victory gallop with a gold medal performance.  Rebecca and Corona produced the only double clear round in the Nations Cup to help bring home the gold.  They finished off their week with a 3rd place finish in the CSIO-W 4**** Toyota Grand Prix. Today, Rebecca continues to compete successfully on the international level and throughout the United States while offering quality horses and ponies for sale.

*The PCHA Rookie of the Year standings are based on money won throughout Grand Prix competitions that are held in the West Coast of the United States in the rider’s rookie year.
