Paige Fulton

 

Paige Fulton, owner and trainer of Fulton Farms, Sebastopol, CA, grew up in the saddle. As a young rider, Paige eagerly competed in various disciplines including, dressage, western, eventing, and hunter jumper.

 

As a young adult, her path narrowed and Paige focused wholly on the hunter jumper discipline. With trainers and mentors such as Nick, Kost, and Jenny Karazissis, Judy Martin, Candice Schlom, and Susie Hutchison, Paige has had a highly successful career in the show-jumping ring. She was the recipient of numerous medals and championships. She capped her amateur career with a Reserve Champion in the 1994 USET Medal Finals, and a Champion in the Foxfield Medal Finals.

 

As the Assistant Trainer for Susie Hutchison, Paige coached juniors and amateurs to numerous wins. She was responsible for training and competing both hunters and jumpers. While completing her BA at UCLA, Paige enhanced her training and riding with several years of coaching from dressage trainer Heather Bender. The education Paige received from Heather gave her a deeper understanding of the training process and a deeper dedication to the horse as an athlete no matter what his job.

 

Since she has been in Northern CA, Paige has coached PCHA and NCHJA year end award winners in the equitation and hunter divisions, along with medal finalists each year. Several of her students have continued on as professionals in the horse industry.
