What people are saying…
Fabulous Facility. The trainers, Brandon and Danielle are very professional, friendly, kind and caring to all clients and staff. The care that is given to all the Horses by all staff members is top notch. Safe enviroment for children and adults to learn and excel in all aspects of horsemanship and in the disciplines of English Equitation, Hunter, Jumper and Dressage.

I would like you and Brandon to know that I love riding at your facility and I have only ever felt welcomed and supported.
As an adult amateur I was super nervous about beginning my riding journey, that I would be judged. That has never once been the case at your barn. I look forward to my riding lessons every week. Everyone welcomed me and my lack of knowledge, lol. No one judged when I asked silly questions or needing help putting on my first Martingale.
So please know that you make a positive deference in so many peoples lives.

Excellent place for English riding lessons for children or adults at all levels. The trainers are knowledgeable and professional, the horses are well trained and cared for, and the barn is welcoming and family friendly. My daughter has taken several day camps here and is progressing nicely with weekly lessons. We really love the programming, the environment, and the people. She’s learned so much about riding, and about safe and proper horse care.

Ms. Danielle is absolutely amazing after having 2 spine surgeries, she has been so understanding and patient with me! Brandon and Kent are so supportive and everyone there is nothing but kind!! Highly recommend this barn!

I have been riding with Brandon since October 2020. I used to ride consistently back home in the Bay Area and had a desire to start up again - but it had been a while since I sat on a horse. Brandon put me at ease at the first lesson. Getting back some fundamentals, being re-engaged in riding, and having fun! I come away from each lesson learning something of value that I can use at the next lesson. Brandon's teaching style works for me - he has a goal for each lesson, we work through the mechanics and meet the goal. For me, even what seems like a small achievement is huge. His training partner, Deb, has the same training philosophy. Every lesson I have seen improvement but I also like the fact that Brandon challenges me in a good way with my riding.
Brandon and his entire barn team take exceptional care of all of the horses and the facility. Although I do not have my own horse (yet), I would have no reservations trusting the care of my horse to Brandon and his team. I am having fun and am enjoying my barn time! Looking forward to what comes next at BCSH!

Last year my daughter went to a week long camp at Brandon Clinton Sport Horses and loved it!
The horses, the instructors, the crafts were all topnotch! After that first camp, we were all hooked.
She’s been doing camps and lessons for almost a year now, and we could not be happier. The riding instructors are excellent and in tune with her learning style, as such, she had learned a ton about horse care and riding.

Brandon has a ton of versatile experience and can definitely meet the needs of a multitude of riders, no matter skill set or discipline. In a few short lessons Brandon has bolstered my confidence and has given me key pointers that are helping me to ride on my own more effectively. He is patient. Brandon does not sit there and watch the clock-- if the lesson has a goal, the goal gets accomplished! After two lessons with Brandon to brush up for a show, we placed first in two events and were reserve champions for the primary event. Far and away the best lesson experience I've ever had, and its so refreshing to walk away from a lesson with clarity instead of confusion!

“I highly recommend Brandon Clinton. I have had such great experiences with my lessons. I have greatly improved in a short amount of time due to Brandon's teaching. Thank you Brandon for making my time with you and the horses so special!!.”

“Having ridden with local trainers to Grand Prix riders to Olympians, my experience with horse professionals has been very vast. The one thing that stands out to me about Brandon is his ability to break riding down to the basics yet be able to teach at the highest level of competition. Brandon doesn't teach from a "tough love" perspective. Instead he strikes the perfect balance of being demanding enough to help you reach milestone yet being supportive enough to make you feel good about your hard work.
When it comes to investment horses, the care Brandon offers is second to none. My horse is almost 1,500 miles away from me and I never have to question his care. Brandon truly cares for them like they are his own especially through his updates. Because of his meticulous program, my horse's training has progressed like never before. Having imported multiple horses, I have seen Brandon's program be tailored to make champions even out of the most difficult ones.
I am now flying to Texas every other month to train with Brandon.
I have used Brandon as a trainer, instructor and rider and he is the true trifecta of equestrian talent.”
-Stacy Butewicz, Client
"Brandon Clinton has been instructing my daughter. She has had previous lessons and hasn’t progressed much. After only 5 lessons, she has made more progress than in 5 years! She’s finally engaged after years of dreading it! Brandon is patient and positive and my daughter adores him!"
— Marge Nicholson, Mother of Student
“I trained with Brandon years ago and was crushed when he decided to take a few years off. From great ribbons at Devon locals to numerous finals and national derby placings, he was by far the best trainer I’ve had since I was young. He’s a thousand miles away now, but anyone lucky enough to ride with him, will have their (and their horses) best abilities brought out with his training.
Texas is blessed to have him!"
- Liz Reynolds, Student
“They’re aren't enough stars in the sky that would be enough to say how amazing Brandon is. Having a heartfelt , amazing and talented instructor who wants you to succeed as much as you do, honestly makes for him the best! We miss him here in NJ but look forward to his upcoming success in Texas. Brandon’s knowledge with both horse and rider go beyond your expectations.”
— Cheryl Smith, Mother of Student
“Brandon has trained with me to help me ride again. After having a debilitating surgery, I never thought I would be able to ride any longer. Well....I am now riding and carriage driving. He is patient and challenges me to become the best. He is fabulous!”
