Some horsemen learn the craft…
Others live it.

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.

✨ Helping horses be understood
✨ Helping riders build confidence
✨ Creating true partnership, not just performance

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 💙
