Charlie and Hilary Carrel

Their team has established solid foundations on literally thousands of horses for top riders in all disciplines ranging from Grand Prix jumpers, dressage, hunters, polo, driving, professional rodeo and the AQHA and APHA show circuit.

Matt Piccolo
Matt Piccolo found his passion in jumping horses, whether in a jumper competition or the hunter ring, and feels each discipline keeps him better at the other. Matt trains out of his own Arrow Hill Farm outside of Nashville, Tennessee alongside his husband, Devan Cottrell. They have a fun group of riders and owners who have different goals and they do little of everything—train, coach, show ride, and sell horses. Matt really loves seeing what horses can do for people, and enjoys helping each partnership reach their full potential.
