Rebecca Lipka, Carverton, PA
Matthew and Rebecca Lipka reside in Carverton , Pennsylvania . They own and operate Ide-L Acres Performance Horses. Together they provide their customers and horses with a complete training program. From the beginning, with groundwork and the horse's first several months of riding, Matt is able to provide a horse with a solid foundation and a desire to work. Both Becky and Matt train each horse based on its own individual strengths and ability, which results in a horse that is mentally sound, knows its job and is willing to perform in the show pen.
Becky has had the privilege to win AQHA Champion and Reserve Championships. She has qualified for the AQHA Worlds, and placed in the top 5 at the Quarter Horse Congress. She has numerous class wins at AQHA, NSHA, NRHA, and NRCHA shows which has enabled Becky to coach several students to championship wins at the local, state, and regional levels.
Our Program
Driven with a deep passion to see people develop their horsemanship skills, we take a tell-all approach when helping youth and non-pros train their horses. Believing that a horse is only as good as its rider, we put emphasis on a riders balance, feel, timing, & communication skills. Through a simple, yet challenging approach, we help riders really understand what they are doing and why. Drawing from our 20 yrs of showing and training experience, Matt and Becky have been able to help others succeed in events such as reining, reined-cow horse, western riding, ranch versatility, trail, western pleasure, driving, and hunter under saddle. Their exposure to multiple events has enabled them to identify the individual needs of a horse and rider to help them succeed.
