About Us

Established in 2014, Robinson Equestrian LLC is a full care boarding and training facility. In August 2015 we moved to Diamond 7 Ranch and Arena in Dillsburg, PA. The facility  boasts four outdoor arenas and two indoor arenas!

Robinson Equestrian LLC offers full care boarding and weekly riding lessons as well as consignment, training rides, and lay up care. See our boarding or lessons page or contact us for more details and prices. We would love for you to join our multi-disciplinary family of riders!

Prior to opening Robinson Equestrian LLC, Kelsey was a working student under Pam Tanner (natural horsemanship/western dressage), trained under various trainers including Megghan Watts (hunter/jumper/equitation), competed on the rated circuit in both hunters and jumpers, and was the head trainer at Day Star Farm (Connemara breeding) in Leesburg, VA. In addition to her experience with horses, Kelsey is a mother of two and a graduate of Shippensburg University with a degree in Biology and a certification to teach Secondary Education. Drawing from her classroom experience, Kelsey breaks her training down into clear, simple steps in order for both horse and rider to better understand the task at hand. Kelsey also has a great interest in rider fitness and has published research on rider heart rate. Kelsey continues to further her education by being well read as well as  auditing and participating in clinics with trainers such Anne Kursinski (Hunter/Jumper), George Morris (Hunter/Jumper), Candace King (Hunter/Jumper), Wendy Murdoch (SURE Foot, Dressage), and Mark Bolender (Trail Obstacle).  Kelsey also works as a Judge for local Hunter/Jumper shows and International Mountain Trail Challenges (IMTCA).

Kelsey specializes in training horses and riders for the hunter/jumper ring as well as pleasure and trail riding in western tack. Kelsey's training focuses on relationship building between horse and rider, as well as teaching her students to be smart and safe when they are around horses. Working from the ground up, her students and horses build confidence that will carry them in any direction they wish to go.

 Lexie has been involved with horses for the past ten years.  She started her riding career at Heritage Acres where she showed Hunters and worked in the barn cleaning stalls.  In May of 2019 she graduated from Wilson College with a degree in Equine Studies with a concentration in Equine Management.  Lexie's first equine job after college was at Camp Hebron/Meadowview  Stables in Halifax as a wrangler in the Summer of 2019. There she was able to grow her passion for teaching.  She then continued on to teach as a year round instructor at the camp. Lexie is a CHA certified riding instructor in both English and Western riding and her goal is to pass on her passion for horses to all the students that pass through the barn.  Her teaching style focuses on safety while creating a solid foundation that any rider can take into any discipline. 

Lexie works as one of the assistant trainers for Robinson Equestrian. She also has her own Equine Massage business and works to help horses at Robinson Equestrian feel their best. 

Shawna has been involved with horses for most of her life. She started her riding career at Cutting Edge Farm where she took lessons, cleaned stalls, and grew her horse knowledge. She helped out with general horse care, stall cleaning, feeding, and learning everything offered. She took her first job in barn management in February of 2019 at Robinson Equestrian. Shawna was a great asset to Robinson Equestrian for several years and then decided to pursue other career interests. Eventually she decided that working with horses was her true passion. She went back to work in the horse industry by taking a job at a private farm taking care of personal and client horses and general farm care. Shawna is constantly striving to learn more and has done clinics with Judy Westlake and audited Bradley Caine clinics. 

Shawna is currently working at the Barn Manager at Robinson Equestrian.
