STAYING ON THE CUTTING EDGE
Gaining experience by working for many top trainers in the horse community and continuing working relationships with these professionals keeps her training ideas cutting edge. Claire continues to work with both local Arabian and Quarter Horse trainers.

GIVING BACK TO THE LOCAL HORSE COMMUNITY
Claire also donates time to teaching local horse owners proper horse care and safety techniques. Through the non-profit club, Fallbrook Silver Spurs, she stays tied in the community, producing award winning parade floats and providing low cost clinics in areas from Western Pleasure and trail training to proper trailer operation.

A very successful Region I, with recognition in Country Pleasure, Side Saddle, Show Hack, Halter and Native Costume

A GOOD INFLUENCE IS KEY

Claire's favorite aspect of training is working with children and young adults, where she believes riding and showing become much more than a hobby.

"Not only am I teaching kids to ride and train their own horses, but I am teaching them confidence, respect, integrity and perseverance. These are all qualities that will help them in every aspect of life. I am a role model and mentor to my client's children and that is a position in life that I take very seriously."
