Claire Affleck Training

Claire Affleck began riding as a young child, competing at the international level as a junior rider. It was at the age of 12 that she first began to work with unstarted young horses. The thrill of starting and bringing along a horse has never faded for her. Claire is a graduate of Sweet Briar College in VA, where she earned her B.A. in psychology. Sweet Briar was recently featured in USHJA’s Nov. 2007 issue, and was named ‘Most Beautiful Campus’ in the latest Princeton Review. While Claire rode on their very competitive ISHA team, and ‘A’ circuit hunter show team, she also taught in the riding program. In Scotland, she was able to compete internationally in dressage and jumpers. Claire now is a member of the Limestone Creek Hunt Club, judges local horse shows, focuses on starting young horses undersaddle, and bringing along her students. Of course, like any great enterprise, Claire Affleck Training is a community of energetic, compassionate, generous and dedicated people. Students, boarders, family, volunteers, and staff work and play together for the good of horse and human!
