Horseback Riding in Texas

Hello! I’m Desiree. I’m a professional equestrian of over 35 years; a USDF and USCTA Bronze Medalist; a Certified Professional Life Coach & Performance Mastery Specialist; a mother, military spouse, and woman of faith.

In the saddle I help riders overcome blocks and challenges that limits the partnership and potential they have with their horse keeping them from having confidence on the ground and while riding, to become a mindful horseman who is capable of handling any situation through a safe and trusting partnership while maximizing their performance.

Out of the saddle I help people identify and overcome obstacles that create stress, anxiety, and overwhelm that keep them from showing up as their best self whether it’s in the show ring, workplace, or home, to feel more confident, experience success, and live the best life possible.

As your coach, you have several options for us to work together:

1. EQUESTRIAN COACHING: An equine educational and riding program.
2. LIFE COACHING with HORSES: An equine-based life coaching program.
3. MINDFUL LIVING: A virtual life coaching program.

EQUESTRIAN COACHING
What would it feel like to have a deep and trusting partnership with your horse where you felt safe, confident, and capable of handling any situation both on the ground and in the saddle? What would be different if you established clear communication, had exercises and tools you could turn to, and were able to avoid unnecessary complications with your horse?

As an Equestrian & Performance Mindset Coach, I believe there is more to working with horses and riders than winning ribbons. I believe strongly in creating a deep and trusting relationship between you and your equine partner from the ground up. This means a complete education to become a mindful horseman, not just a horse owner/rider.

As a mindful horseman:
• You’ll learn about basic horse care, tack fitting/care, and trailer safety.
• You’ll learn about rider safety from the ground up with a focus on your balance, coordination, and strength.
• You’ll learn how to understand your horse’s energy and way of communicating.
• You’ll learn how to be more intuitive.
• You’ll gain more awareness of how your energy and mindset influences your horse.
• And you’ll learn how to establish safety and partnership in everything you do.

In our work together, I bring an array of tools to help you take your riding and partnership with your horse to the next level. Having an open mind and admitting there is always room from improvement is the first step to discovering the unlimited scope of what you can accomplish with your horse. I believe in the potential of every horse and rider and am here to help you reach yours.
Please contact me for more information or to set up a time for you to audit a training session, ask questions, assess your goals and discuss how my program can help you.

Equestrian Coaching: $75 / 45-minute private lesson

LIFE COACHING with HORSES
What would it feel like to experience a uniquely designed “horse guided” life coaching program where the horse offers a safe place for you to explore questions, gain personal insight, and set goals? How would it feel to interact with the horse as you experience deep profound transformation through their intuitive and honest feedback? What would be different if you got out of the client chair and into self-exploration through a gentle, supportive and interactive way?

Life Coaching with Horses is a unique approach to coaching that provides a safe place for you to:

• release stress
• let go of overwhelm
• explore your personal thoughts and emotions
• learn about setting and upholding healthy boundaries
• develop clear communication and leadership skills
• build confidence
• develop self-love, compassion, and empathy
• and much more.

In our work together you will find someone who is compassionate, understanding, and patient as we walk together through your journey. Things take time. There’s no rush to this process and the horse knows that. If you’re looking for a unique approach to coaching, LIFE COACHING with HORSES is for you. (This is an “off the horse” program.)

LIFE COACHING with HORSES: $75 / 45-minute private session
(group workshops available)

MINDFUL LIVING
A virtual group coaching program that offers continued support to those who participate in Life Coaching with Horses, and for anyone wanting to release stress, let go of overwhelm, feel more confident, have more energy, and gain the mental fitness tools to help you live the best life possible.

• weekly group coaching calls
• journals and workbooks
• instructional video library
• have the opportunity to work on a monthly topic

THE ART OF HORSE & HUMAN COMMUNICATION…
I have created a very unique series of programs and opportunities through the years of perfecting the horsemanship experience.

My approach allows you to gain insight within and understand the mind of the horse, while learning how to build a true connection based on trust from the ground up.

Hogany Tops Farm has been on sabbatical for some time due to health and extensive surgery. I am so blessed to be healthy and able to relocate and open our doors again! We welcome everyone of all ages and levels to our program!

Hogany Tops has openings in our lesson and training programs and we would love to help you excel in your riding, whether it is for competition or pleasure, or to help you with your green horse/pony or your made up horse/pony continuing to improve! We teach and train at our facility or we can come to yours.

Hogany Tops Farm is a hunter jumper training and lesson barn located just outside of Dallas, TX, in beautiful Edgewood, TX,
dedicated to establishing superior horsemanship with physically fit, willing and content, well trained horses and riders. Accordingly, a consistent training routine and at least a minimum lesson program are pertinent to accomplish this goal. Training and instruction, specializing in hunters, jumpers and equitation are designed with the horse and rider in mind and customized to fit each one’s individual abilities and objectives to reach their full potential. We focus on correct equitation in the jumpers as well as the hunters. All good riding is based on dressage as a foundation. Hours spent on the flat ultimately produce a fluid ride over fences in the hunters and an accurate and powerful ride occurring in a timely fashion in the jumpers.
All levels of riders, beginner through advanced are welcome in our lesson program and we have wonderful lesson horses for those who do not have one! HTF provides the opportunity to horse show at both local and national competitions. Hogany Tops Farm offers quality horses and ponies for sale or lease.
Hogany Tops Farm originated in 1985 in Macon, Georgia. The business is owned and operated by Jo Beard, who was born, raised and educated in Virginia. Her love for and association with horses began at an early age, in the family barn, which at the age of eight led her to horse shows and fox hunts with her father. Her journey with horses continued to the professional level when at the age of 18 she was schooling, training, and showing horses and ponies and catch-riding at horse shows. Her professional focus centered on hunters and jumpers and as she developed her own riding skills, she became involved in the sport of steeplechase racing and took that to a highly successful professional level as one of two licensed female steeplechase jockeys in the United States. She has subsequently trained and owned hundreds of show horses and has consistently been successfully involved in both local and national horse show competition. Today, her focus is on the interest of her clients and their goals and aspirations. She has the experience (over 40 years of teaching all levels), and the skills and patience to take them where they want to go. Both Jo’s children and grandchildren are also very successful and well-known in the hunter jumper world! Jo’s extensive experience in the industry has created a wide network of friends and professional associates nationwide. Referrals will be gladly given upon request.
Visitors are always welcome! Please feel free to call for information, rates and available packages and visit/like our Facebook page at Hogany Tops Farm and to catch up with our activities!!
