Hillary Martin - HCM Dressage in stanford, ca


It was an absolute pleasure to be able to meet and photograph Dressage rider, Hillary Martin for Sidelines Magazine. Hillary's business, HCM Dressage, operates out of the stables at Stanford University in Stanford, CA. Aside from her training program, she is also a USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold medalist, as well as a USEF 'r' dressage judge and pursuing her 'R' license. During our short time together, I was able to meet some of the amazing young women who train under Hillary, play with her adorable little dogs, and see all of her cool rock climbing gear (Hillary loves to climb and kiteboard!). Read more about Hillary and HCM Dressage in the April 2024 Sidelines issue.
