So incredibly proud of some of our girls!! Lottie Hearn showed her new horse for the first time in the real 3 ft Children’s hunters and won their first OF! She also was 2nd in the 3ft Child/Adult Classic! Anya Cipolla won 2 of her OF in the Childrens and ended Champion in the Children’s Hunter and was 4th in the $2500 USHJA int. derby! Izzy Durnell rode my new import “Lexus” and was tied for Reserve in his first division without hacking! 5th in his very first USHJA derby! With a first round score of 82!

Today, we had to say goodbye to one of Hillmar’s true mascots, our beloved Hope.

For over a decade, Hope served as the guardian of Hillmar, ensuring that all the horses, dogs and cats stay on their best behavior. Her dedication and unwavering commitment to keep things in check earned her the affectionate nickname “Karen/Fun Police.”

As the official greeter, she welcomed visitors with a warm smile and a wagging tail (except delivery truck drivers or the poor shavings guy). Additionally, she played a vital role as a vet assistant during equine performance exams, which was one of her favorite tasks. Hope was also an exceptional ball catcher and swimmer, and she provided canine training to any dog that came on property.

Above all, Hope was known for her gentle and loving nature, making her a cherished member of the Hillmar community. Her absence will leave an indelible mark on the farm, and Hillmar will never be the same without her.

Sweet Hope rest in peace and find eternal joy in chasing our horses and playing with our dogs, who are in heaven.🤍

The story of Hillmar Farm

Hillmar Farm (formerly Hunter Hill Farm) was purchased back in 2004 by mother/daughter team Sondra and Margaux Nodvin. Extensive renovations and additions to the farm were undertaken immediately to the 85 acre facility. These renovations included replacing all of the exterior of the main barn and storage building, removing the rotting wood and replacing it with Hardiplank. Some of the other renovations we did included adding 6 stalls to the main barn, building a shavings storage shed, installing infrared heaters in the newly renovated indoor wash racks, installing fire alarms in the barns, painting all buildings, building two outdoor wash racks, and adding back doors to the interior row of stalls for safety and convenience. At the time of purchase, there were no arenas at the farm; therefore, we had two arenas expertly installed. One arena is our 150’ x 300’ all-weather footing outdoor arena (which has been completely renovated again at the time of this writing). The other arena began as a covered 100’ x 200’ ft arena. Later renovations included completely enclosing the covered arena for the comfort of our horses and clients during the cold, windy, rainy months. Both arenas were equipped with sprinkler systems, lights, a P.A. system, and viewing areas. Over the years, Hillmar Farm has seen the addition of a 7-stall lesson horse barn, installation of an automatic fly-system, installation of security cameras, creation of additional paddocks, creation of a mini cross-country course, and much, much more.

Officially opening for business in Spring 2005 as a top-notch Hunter/Jumper facility, the Nodvins have spared no effort or expense in offering the best Hunter/Jumper training available, the best updated amenities for horses and clients in North Georgia, as well as ensuring 24/7 care for the horses by knowledgeable, on-site staff. For more than 13 years now, we at Hillmar Farm have continued to strive to provide the best in professional training for boarders, lesson program clients, and IEA/IHSA team members. Most importantly, we have continued to offer the best personalized care for our equine companions. At Hillmar Farm, our motto has always been “the horses come first”. This is why you can find so many happy, healthy horses residing at Hillmar! Happy clients and happy horses are abundant at Hillmar, and we take great pride in this fact. Hillmar Farm is, quite simply, a fantastic place for horses and for riders!
