We love, love, love Hillcrest so much! Our daughter started lessons over a year ago with absolutely no prior riding experience, but Lisa was very willing to still take us and was so super patient which was so great because she basically had teach us everything! Lessons have definitely taught our daughter a sense of responsibility and commitment. She absolutely loves coming here! We are currently taking lessons with Heather and she has also been really great! In all honesty, all of the staff is really really awesome and always so helpful. We couldn't be happier to be a part of the Hillcrest family and I would highly recommend checking them out for yourself!!!

Wonderful barn and fantastic lessons! Lisa is an excellent instructor. She is very patient and explains not only how to ride but the mechanics of your body while doing it. Regardless if you are a first time rider or seasoned, I would highly recommend taking lessons at Hillcrest as there is always something new to learn or bad habits to break!

I've been riding for about 2 years now at Hill Crest, and Lisa has been such a great instructor! Always making sure to take care of the barn, the horses, and her students. I went to a horse camp during the summer that Lisa hosted at the barn. It was so much fun learning about parts of the horse, types of horses, grooming, etc..She also incorporated fun crafts and great riding lessons. I'm so glad I found Hill Crest Farm LLC to ride at! I highly recommend Hill Crest Farm LLC as a great place to ride and board horses.

I got back into riding after almost 10 years off so I was bit nervous getting started, but my experience at Hill Crest has been so welcoming and comfortable. Lisa is an incredible and personable instructor. I’m learning more about riding and horsemanship with her than all my years riding in the past, and I’ve only been taking lessons here for a few months! So glad I found Hill Crest!

I took riding lessons as a kid and decided to get back into it in 2020. That's when I found Hill Crest Farm. Lisa, the owner, is kind and welcoming, and I did a couple months of lessons with her before switching to lessons with the barn's jumping coach, Christine, who is also fantastic. They have both helped me immensely with everything from my form to setting goals for my riding. There are both indoor and outdoor rings. Although the former isn't as large as some found at other barns, it's well lit and well maintained, and it gets the job done. The barn is one of the absolute cleanest and most organized I've ever seen, and the horses are totally pampered. Definitely a five-star experience.

An absolutely fantastic place to board your horse. Lisa and staff are very knowledgeable and always go the extra mile to ensure your horse is well taken care of. Constant improvements are always being made at the farm and it continues to get better every day. The on-site trainer (Dana) is absolutely fantastic and has taken my daughter from no dressage experience to an LVDA class champion in only one summer, with plans for her to compete at Level 1 next year!

Lisa and her team are absolutely wonderful. My daughter loves her weekly lessons and is proud of her accomplishments thanks to Lisa’s guidance, patience, and encouragement. Each week brings new challenges and fun, interesting lessons. Highly recommend Hill Crest!

We love this farm so much and the owner, Lisa, is absolutely wonderful at teaching kids how to care and ride the horses. All of the horses are so well cared for and you can tell that Lisa loves everyone of them. I’m so thankful we found this stable.

We sent our Morgan (a kill pen rescue) to HEATHER KING for training and couldn’t be happier. Our mare needed to relearn to drive and Heather’s expertise in desensitization was worth every penny. The facility is spotless and they have the freshest smelling barn I’ve ever encountered in my 4 decades with horses. Lisa, the owner, is an expert dressage trainer and keeps a great facility where you drop off your horse for training and know that they are getting the best care. The place is peaceful and the horses are well cared for. Highly recommended.

The perfect place for young riders to learn . The staff is courteous and smiles are contagious ! So refreshing to see how the young staff look up to the owner Lisa ! While my horse was there I never worried about his care , he was getting the best !!!

I absolutely love coming here for horseback riding lessons for my daughter. Lisa is wonderful. My daughter is shy and Lisa makes sure she builds her confidence, asks her questions, and keeps her on her toes. She is professional and extremely knowledgeable. She grew up around horses and really knows everything you need to learn to ride safely. I look forward to our weekends here. I would highly recommend this place!

Lisa at Hill Crest is absolutely wonderful. She originally agreed to go over basics with our children so I was more comfortable with them trail riding while on vacation. She was so wonderful we decided to continue lessons with her. Highly recommend Hill Crest for anyone looking for lessons!

I LOVE Hill Crest! Lisa takes such amazing care of the horses and property. My horses look amazing and are super relaxed and happy here. Lisa is always making improvements at the barn and property to keep things in top shape and beautiful. Excellent barn management, professional and knowledge staff, and beautiful peaceful farm. You get so much for your money - amazing care of your horse, awesome property and trails to ride on, great group of boarders and students. Cannot say enough good things about Hill Crest Farm!!

So glad we moved our daughter's horse here. She's much more content and is well taken care of. Lessons with Lisa and Heather are great. They work with your goals and abilities. My daughter has improved within a short period of time.

Love the peaceful atmosphere. Everyone that boards and works here is very friendly and welcoming. Lisa and everyone at the barn have become part of my extended family. All horses are very well taken care of. Each horse has it own dietary needs met individually.Highly recommend for lessons and boarding.

My wife and I have been boarders at Hill Crest Farm for eight years, and have boarded a total of three horses during that time. Currently we have two horses boarded. The cleanliness of stalls and paddocks is excellent, and care is attentive and loving. Lisa Cope and her husband Bill manage all matters of the farm and are friendly, hard-working, accommodating, reasonable, and fair in the running of the place. Lisa has had intimate horse experience since early childhood, and readily sees when a horse is "off" or ailing. Plus, she is an experienced show person who is an excellent instructor for children and adults. The overall priority at Hill Crest Farm is the welfare of the horses, and great vigilance is dedicated to assuring adequate quantity and quality of feeding as well as ample fresh and clean drinking water. Stalls and paddocks are "picked" daily. Horses are turned out daily, and summer pasture grazing is available. We were previously boarders at two other barns, which have fallen out of business. After considerable looking around, we consider ourselves fortunate to have found Hill Crest Farm.

Absolutely LOVE this farm for beginner riding lessons for our out-of-state 10 year old granddaughter. She LOVES going there every chance she can when she visits. Facilities are clean and well-kept. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Owner is on site and is our trainer. Conveniently located for us. In our opinion, prices are very fair for the 1 to 1 lesson time. Granddaughter has learned a lot, as have I. So much so that this 60+ year old is finally thinking of indulging in some childhood dreams and taking some lessons, too! Very impressed and appreciative with teaching pre-ride grooming, tacking-up, post-ride grooming, etc. Care of the horses is top priority, not just getting on and riding. Nothing but EXCELLENT reviews from us!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I have been riding and taking dressage lessons at Hillcrest farm for almost five years. It has been a wonderful experience for me. Lisa the barn owner is so supportive and encouraging. As a vet tech, I can say all the horses are well cared for and healthy. I would highly recommend Hillcrest farm for boarding your horse or taking lessons.

The stable is beautiful and well maintained. Lessons are available for all age groups and the staff is very talented and caring with strong family values with Lisa,the owner, supporting horse and donkey rescues. Hill Crest values are placed on people and the horses making them a fabulous stable to board and take lessons.

Hillcrest is the best!! I started taking lessons there about a year ago on one of their lesson horses and my trainer Dana is great. After a few months I decided to move my horse to board at Hillcrest. He has never looked better or been happier! They take such good care of him there. One time the horses had to stay inside because of bad weather and Lisa, the owner, even sang to my horse :-) Anyone looking for a great place with great people should come and look at this farm. I highly recommend it!!

Coming to Hill Crest Farm is like being adopted into another family. You are made to feel like part of the team as soon as you come to the barn. The care and commitment to each and every horse is second to none! Each horse is loved and cared for unconditionally whether it is a lesson or a boarder horse. They are prepared to work with the most beginner rider, intermediate to advanced. Hill Crest Farm has really made all of my daughter's dreams come true.

I cannot say enough good things about Hillcrest. I brought my daughter Lola here about a year ago due to her having an unspecified anxiety disorder. She has been learning from Lisa, the owner, how to horseback ride and take care of the horses. She absolutely loves coming up here. This helps her get out of the house more as well.. not to mention when we leave she is more talkative and happier.Lisa has taken so much extra time with my daughter by going over her lesson time by 10, 15 and even 20mins. We liked Lisas’ farm instantly with the horses meandering by, the cats that will follow you and are very affectionate even a pug named Berkley who sits amongst them and blends into the beautiful scenery here. The first time we went up to check out the farm and meet Lisa she talked to my daughter and showed us around and before good byes and nice to meet you’s were said she gave my daughter a hug and i knew this was a good place to be.It is a very relaxing and peaceful environment with my daughter making new friends and now horseback riding and learning how to take care of them is her passion. Again, i cannot say enough wonderful things about Hillcrest and the kindness that was given to me and my daughter. Im so glad we found this farm.Desiree Safadi, Breinigsville

Hill Crest Farm is an amazing place to board. Lisa and her husband, Bill, go out of there way to make you welcome and take excellent care of your horse. I highly recommend their facility for anything equine!

This is a lovely facility in a centrally located rural area, yet is just minutes to many municipalities.They have a beautiful new barn with matted stalls, good quality grain and hay, secure safe pastures and paddocks, and great care by a team of dedicated horse people.The horses are fat and happy.And if you're so inclined, there is an on site trainer to help you achieve your dreams, whether it's just learning to trail ride or to compete in shows, she does it all.If you're looking for a place where you and your horse will be happy, where people are friendly and where you dont have to worry when you cant be there, Hillcrest Farm is fabulous.

I started taking lessons here and love the place. Very down to earth people and Lisa is great! I was nervous about being around such large animals but I feel safe here .

It was a great barn but as of right now so don’t want to even give it any stars because we went on a road trip and when we come back none of our horses were fed or had water given to them *we were gone for a little over a week* 2 of them ended up dying and one of our horses ended up being left there *if y’all know of a grey Appaloosa in her 20’s let me know and her name was Ghost* anyway I hope you are proud of yourself🙄 I’ll put a picture of one of the horses that died here👇
