    Horseback Riding + Training Info

    Billings Equestrian is a professionally managed riding program that offers services to both dressage and western students of all ages located at Willow and Wolf Ranch, in Livermore, CA. 

    Lesson Format All riders at Billings Equestrian start with an assessment lesson on one of our amazing, safe school horses. This will help us determine what the best lesson plan is for each individual.

    Once riders are assessed, they are then placed into a 30 min private session or into a one hour group riding session. Beginner riders always start in private sessions, and can move to groups once they establish the skills needed to advance.

    Unique to our program, we offer a weekly 1 hour horsemanship class that riders have the option to participate in as well. This program teaches fundamentals related to horse ownership for beginners all the way through buying your own horse.

    Riders who own their horse, or who lease, are part of a grooming package with Billings Equestrian which defines care responsibilities and lesson duration.

    The business is owned and operated by Samantha Billings Coatney. Sam is a USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold Medalist who has been coaching riders for over 15 years.

    Sam​ is known not just for her riding talent, but for her warm personality that makes every student feel special.  Whether Sam is teaching a first-time rider or show coaching an experienced professional, her patience, sensitivity and knowledge shines through.

    Sam's program is in a welcoming, relaxed environment where riders of all ages always feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and making friends.

    Sam's husband, Cyle, is a team roper and their boys, Colt and Cash, are enthusiastic (and adorable) young riders at age 4 and 1. 
    ​
    Whether it's seeing Sam practice Grand Prix movements, 4-H kids riding barrel patterns, Cyle roping a fake cow or horses munching hay, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The barn is a vibrant place filled with excited students, friendly horses and good times.
