Taylor Hincks, owner and trainer at Bear Creek Ranch, has been in the saddle since the age of five. What began as a childhood love for horses has grown into a lifelong commitment to horsemanship, rider development, and purposeful training.

With years of experience working with a wide range of horses and riders, Taylor brings a calm, focused approach to every session. She specializes in young horse development, groundwork, behavioral training, and coaching for both recreational and competitive riders.

Taylor’s training philosophy is rooted in patience, consistency, and communication. She believes in creating confident, willing horses — and equally confident, capable riders — by building trust and understanding from the ground up.

At Bear Creek Ranch, Taylor’s goal is simple: to help every horse and rider become the best version of themselves, whether that means mastering the basics or stepping confidently into the show ring.
