THE TEAM
Alicia Saxton
For Alicia Saxton, starting Oceancrest Farms at the age of 24 was the culmination of years of dedication, inspiration, and hard work.
“Since founding Oceancrest Farms in 2007, I’ve sought to follow the example of those I admire while always striving to improve the experience for both horse and rider in this sport. Over the years, I’ve seen this commitment lead to top level success in the arena as well as having a long lasting impact in the lives of the individuals I’ve worked with.”
Mentoring under an Olympian and top World Cup rider inspired her to create a balanced program that prioritizes integrity, the health of the horse, and the importance of solid training techniques.
