Our Philosophy

At Clermont Stables, the focus is on your horse’s development.

We will work together to design a training program and show schedule that is best for you and your horse.

Our program specializes in jumpers.

Style

Craig teaches in the American/French forward riding system primarily, with the European system as an important option for certain horses and situations.

Horses

It is recommended that riders acquire horses that are specifically bred for jumping. This makes a significant difference in performance and safety.

Care

We show appreciation to horses by preparing them physically and emotionally, along with quality feed, shoeing and veterinary checkups.

Background

Craig teaches in both the forward-seat and full-seat systems as both are central to Craig’s training philosophy. He believes that the rider needs to adapt to what the horse, or circumstances on the course, require - he’d be happy to discuss with you on the why’s. Just reach out to him on the contact page.
