Beckett Run Inc.              

Congratulations to the Xavier Equestrian Team on a strong season !

Good luck to Ellen Davis at Regionals, March 7 in Kentucky!

Welcome to Beckett Run! 

     Located on the west side of Hamilton, Ohio, on the grounds of the 1835 Beckett Estate, we offer a wide variety of services centered around the hunter/jumper show industry.  We specialize in hunter equitation, stress good horsemanship, and have lots of opportunities for our students to compete in a wide variety of venues. 

     We take pride in our family business - we live here, raised our family on this farm, and continue to take a hands-on approach to everything we do.  Come visit us anytime, or better yet - visit us at a show to really see what we're all about.       

What We Do

Beckett Run is a full service hunter/jumper teaching and show barn, but we're also involved in a wide spectrum of the horse industry.  Here's a synopsis of what we do - click on the categories in the menu to get the full picture.

• We specialize in hunter equitation, anchored by the Beckett Run Equestrian Team, a high school and middle school team competing as one of the top teams in the national Interscholastic Equestrian Association. 
• We also train the Xavier University equestrian team, competing in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. 
• We offer lessons, boarding, leasing, and all the other services that most barns offer.
• We produce and manage shows sanctioned by the Ohio Hunter Jumper Association, Kentucky Hunter Jumper Associtation, and TriState Horse Shows Association, at Roberts Arena in Wilmington, Majestic Farm (formerly Paxton Farm) in Batavia, and many other locations. 
• Our Tournament of Champions hunter equitation team tournament series is the premier venue in the collegiate schedule, with two or three events per year across the country. 
• Equestrian Talent Search is a series of teaching and recruiting clinics we manage where college coaches educate students and parents about collegiate riding and recruiting..
