ASHLEY WILLIAMS
HUNTER|JUMPER TRAINER
01 about
With over twenty-five years’ experience in the hunter/jumper industry, Ashley has been successfully competing up and down the east coast since 1992 in both the Grand Prix’s and National Hunter Derbies.
Having trained under Helen Goddard out of Colts Neck, NJ for a majority of her career, she believes in understanding the basics; a strong foundation of flat work, the mechanics of how each horse moves as an individual and it's translation into their overall well-being.
The goal of her program is to educate both the rider and horse in a classical, logical system of training and competition.
​
Ashley has worked with riders of all ages and their equine partners from green to proven veterans. Students and horses have qualified and/or won top honors at many east coast shows such as HITS Saugerties, HITS Ocala, World Equestrian Center Ocala, Vermont Summer Festival and finals such as NAL, Marshall & Sterling League, Jr. Hunter Finals and USHJA Finals.

Heather, Client
As an adult competitor, she knows how to help me be confident and focused.
Her teaching style is focused, methodical and geared towards understanding the mechanics of riding.
As a horsewoman I trust Ashley without reservation. I never question her recommendations for my horses care, well being or medical needs.
Paige, Client
Due to Ashley's commitment, and success with my training, I was invited to a total of four, end of year finals in 2017. With Ashley's excellent advice I placed 2nd in M&S - High Children's Jumper Finals, 4th individually at USHJA Children's Jumper Finals, and 3rd with my Team.
I believe at its core, my success is attributed to Ashley's positive attitude, and patience.
