Training at Birchview
Elizabeth DeGolian is a professional rider and trainer based in Georgia, where she operates Peacewood Farm Ventures and trains out of Birchview Stables in Ball Ground. A graduate of the University of South Carolina, Elizabeth competed on the Gamecocks’ Division I equestrian team from 2011–2015, earning recognition for her performance in the ring as well as her dedication to horsemanship. After college, her passion for developing sport horses and riders led her to establish her own program, where she combines hands-on experience with a thoughtful approach to training.
Elizabeth has guided U.S.-bred Oslo MK to standout results in the hunter ring, including strong performances at the USHJA Green Hunter Incentive Championship, multiple National Derby wins, and a top finish in the Marshall + Sterling Classic Hunter Derby. She has also produced competitive results with horses like Inland Empire, earning a reputation for bringing out the best in both imports and American-bred talent.
Her dedication extends to her students, helping them reach their own goals in the sport. Most recently, she coached Tori Binetti to qualify for Pony Finals 2026, a milestone that reflects Elizabeth’s ability to guide riders with precision, patience, and a clear vision for success.
With a background that blends national competition experience, proven results with young horses, and a commitment to individualized development, Elizabeth continues to build a program at Birchview Stables that emphasizes excellence in the show ring and the foundation of true horsemanship.
We also welcome approved outside trainers.
