We are a "British Horse Society" approved establishment. Which means we undergo rigorous testing every year for the safety and suitability of our farm, teaching staff and lesson horses.
All of our teaching staff hold BHS teaching qualifications. We are, therefore, all teaching the same thing. We offer working student positions to any who wish to follow the BHS examination system.

Our main business is horse boarding and riding lessons in our Upstate New York facility... CCF North. We have 29 stalls, indoor and outdoor arenas and a variety of cross country jumps, on just under 70 acres.
Many of our boarders live in NYC and come upstate for the weekends.

We also import Irish Sport Horses from Ireland which we hope to sell. All our horses are used in our lesson program in the hope that someone will fall in love and buy them. In the ideal world, the lucky horse would then be kept here on board. We never buy horses we would not like to keep ourselves!

Bard College is nearby. We coach their Equestrian Team. This opens up far more than coaching riders for the IHSA shows. Two of our horses starred in a music video this year, in a project organized by a Bard film student!

Above the barn, we have two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large club room. These are offered on a self catering basis, to people who would like to vacation with us. All year, individuals, or small groups come to us for, typically a four day vacation, which we try to organize around each individual's needs.
We are very happy that many of our vacationers return annually.

CCF South, our Virginia facility is Heaven on Earth. Our sale horses go to Gerry for tune ups or vacations. We are right in the middle of a busy equestrian community, so there are pony clubs event, horse shows, hunting galore. The Virginia Horse Center is just down the road.
