Integrity, unwavering dedication, and a genuine love for horses and showjumping are hallmarks of owner, Custis Ferguson, at Deacon Hill Farms.

Custis, a seasoned rider, grew up working cattle and breaking young horses— an environment that gave grass roots to work ethics and natural horsemanship skills. As her career progressed, Custis worked under Olympic showjumping legends on the international stage and with top amateur training business in the United States. These experiences allowed her to develop a comprehensive, highly-educated approach to training both horses and riders.

Custis has an exceptional eye for detail, allowing her to tailor her training to meet the unique needs of each horse and rider.

What truly sets Custis apart, however, is her genuine commitment to forming lasting, meaningful relationships with her clients. She understands that trust and communication are keys to success both in and out of the saddle. Her passion for the sport, coupled with her unwavering dedication to her students and horses, makes Custis a respected and beloved figure in the equestrian community.

Whether she’s helping a new rider find their confidence or guiding a seasoned competitor to the next level, Custis’s approach is always the same: personalized, compassionate, and rooted in a profound love for the sport and the animals she works with.
