What riders say about Clayton
“I just purchased a horse through Clayton at Fredericks Equestrian. I was very impressed how ‘up front’ and good to deal with he was, along with his team. He had a great facility to trial the horse, and the quality of his stock was impressive. It was luxurious trialing top European horses here in the US without having to go overseas.”
Boyd Martin, US Olympian “The horse I recently purchased through Clayton, FE Lifestyle, has become an amazing partner and a horse both my owners and I have high hopes for in the future. He has exceeded my expectations and I am very appreciative that Clayton sourced me such a wonderful horse!”
