Ray Hackett brings over 45 years of experience to the arena spanning local shows to Eastern States competitions—and is carded as an A-rated judge with New England 4-H, OHSA, and ATOA. But what truly sets Ray apart is where it all began.

🐎 A proud member of the Salem Silver Spurs and Atkinson Chaps n’ Breeches 4-H Clubs
🐎 Founder of the Plaistow Snappy Striders (NH 4-H)
🐎 A lifelong horseman shaped by real experience, real horses, and real connection

From earning championships across disciplines, to becoming a Massachusetts licensed instructor, to developing a reputation as a healing horsemanship clinician, Ray’s work goes far beyond ribbons. Ray helps horses to be understood, riders build confidence, and creating try partnerships.

His impact has been recognized far beyond the show ring:

📖 The Boston Globe – “Horse Sense Redefined”
📺 WCVB Chronicle Feature
🎥 Animal Behavior Research Institute (ABRI)
🌍 Featured in international documentary Back Roads USA

This is horsemanship rooted in feel, experience, and a lifetime of learning. We are honored to bring Ray Hackett to the White Mountain Riding Club community 💙
