Training Programs

Trainer: Akiko Hamada of Stellar Sport Horses Hunter/jumper training is provided by Akiko Hamada, who operates her Stellar Sport Horses program at French Hill. Akiko has an extensive background of showing and training with top trainers such as 2012 Olympian and World Cup winner, Rich Fellers, and Dressage Master, Dominique Barbier. She trains horses and riders from baby green to the A show circuit levels. Akiko has always had a passion for meticulous ground and flat work to maximize the horse’s balance and ability to carry itself. Although she began her career in the jumper ring, Akiko decided to study Dressage to improve her horses’ performance over fences. Akiko trains and coaches with great sensitivity and tact. Stellar Sport Horses is primarily a show program, and riders in her program attend many shows per show season, with many to choose from on the West Coast from Canada to California. There are shows for all levels of riders – from small, local shows to large A rated shows such as HITS near Palm Desert, CA for several weeks in February and March.Contact Akiko: 503-327-5205
