About - Holly Howerton
Holly is an Alabama native having grown up in Chelsea, Alabama.
She got her love and passion for horses from her Mom Karen and to this day the horses are a passion that they still both enjoy together.
Holly began training at Fox Lake Farm with her beloved childhood horse Made By Kostolany (who you can still find at Fox Lake Farm teaching the ropes to the younger generations). She transitioned from working student to professional in 2025 and hasn’t looked back!
During her junior years, she activly showed in the Alabama Hunter Jumper Association earning:
Jeannie Reese Memeorial Tophy
Christie Dillinger Junior Sportsmanship Award
3x winner of the AHJA Junior Board Equitation Challenge
JR’s Legal Tender Children’s Hunter Trophy
Multiple state titles
Holly is also an accomplished jumper rider having shown successfully up to the 1.25m at venues like WEC Ocala, Tryon, and Brownland Farms.
As a professional, Holly has continued to participate in the AHJA both as a rider and trainer. She took the win in the $500 Professional Derby at the 2025 AHJA Year End Show aboard Julia McAdam’s HM Beaulieu.
Holly’s role at Fox Lake Farm calls for her to split her time between the USEF circuit and the local circuit helping riders transition up the levels.
She has a soft ride that helps horses gain confidence and creates a clear line of communication that is easy for owners to follow when it’s their time to shine. Holly is also our in house pony rider!
Holly’s favorite part of Fox Lake Farm is, “The attention to detail and the mentality of horse first! It’s also such a pleasure to watch our rider’s make progress with their equine counterparts.”
